The
Protea 24.24M Matrix Processor uses modular expansion cards to
provide up to twenty-four channels of audio matrixing and processing.
The base unit offers a four-input/four-output configuration.
Each input and output expansion card has an individual DSP processor
allowing you to expand the base unit’s total inputs or
outputs four channels at a time. These cards are easily installed
in the field without the need to reprogram the device. Matrixing
allows you to route any input to any output and control individual
levels once they have been assigned. Fixed path architecture
and extensive processing power per channel will reduce the amount
of time it takes to set up your system. All programming is accomplished
using Ashly’s Protea System Software on a PC platform.
No front panel controls and multi-level software security assures
you a tamperproof audio system. Whether you are designing or
installing a system for corporate boardrooms, restaurants, courtrooms,
houses of worship, left/center/right theatres, auditoriums or
conference centers, the Protea 24.24M will more than satisfy
your requirements for any zoned system requiring input/output
matrixing with signal processing.
The
24.24M Matrix Processor's firmware is supported by flash making
the device capable of field
upgrades using Ashly Audio’s
Protea System Software. Reprogramming is simple and takes only
minutes.
Input
channel processing blocks include Mic Preamp with Phantom Power,
Gain, Delay, fifteen EQ Filters, Gate,
Autoleveler and
Ducker. Inputs may be configured as either mic or line level.
Output channel processing blocks consist of a Cross Point
Mixer, HPF/LPF, Delay, fifteen EQ Filters, Gain and Limiter.
The cross
point mixer in the output section allows you to route any
input to any output at any level and mute any input at any
output
without affecting the true input configuration. The HPF/LPF block offers
Bessel, Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley filters with 12, 18,
24 and 48dB/ octave slopes.
You
may use the WR-1, WR-2 and WR-3 to control levels and presets
from a remote location. These accessories
mount in a standard
wall box.
Euroblock connectors for audio, preset recall, dc remote level
control and data in/out connections are on the rear panel.
Standard 9-pin RS-232 data connectors are located on the front and rear
panel to allow all functions to be controlled either by
a PC or a dedicated control system.
Thirty-five
presets are available to set and store your own system requirements.
When using Protea System Software,
full system
setup and control is quick and easy with the capability
of storing multiple system configurations as backups or for future reference. |
