Quick Start Guide

Introduction

The AtlasIED ASP-MG24 is a 2 input by 4 output digital loudspeaker management system and sophisticated sound masking generator designed for

fixed sound installation markets. The ASP-MG24 features the latest in available technology utilizing a 32 bit (40 bit extended) floating point processors

and high performance 24 bit analog converters. Both balanced mic / line inputs have full DSP and are routable to any combination of the 4 outputs plus

4 discreet masking generators with full DSP, again routable in any output configuration.

Control parameters include I/O gain, delay, polarity, 8 band parametric and 20 GEQ, adjustable crossovers, white / pink noise, adjustable compressor

and hard limiters. Real time control is via the intuitive PC GUI, accessed via the USB or RS-232 interfaces.

Software and firmware are easily upgradable to keep the unit current. Option masking scheduler, initial ramp commission and network control is

available on the ASP-MG24TDB.

Section

• Mic / Line Input Section – Adjust gain on any input, set the maximum input levels via the compressor / limiter, assign High and Low Cut

filters and 8 parametric filter settings.

• Masking Generator Section – Select between white and pink noise, assign High and Low Cut filters, and fine tune the system via the 1/3

octave EQ.

• Output Section – Route and mix any or all inputs to an output, assign parametric filters, delay, set gain and signal limits.

• File Management Section – System files can be downloaded via email or the web. Files can be created without being connected to an

ASP-MG24. Once files are created they can be saved to the ASP-MG24 and saved as a back-up to your computer. Presets saved on the

device can also be recalled from the field. A systems status window also tells you if you are in sync mode or offline.
