MULTIBAND DYNAMICS
PROCESSOR SPL3220

Stereo Multiband Sound Processor /
Loudness Maximizer / Limiter

Professional multiband

#

sound processor for public
address, broadcasting and
mastering applications

Multiband technology provides for

#

brilliant and lively audio processing
without audible “pumping” artifacts

Loudness maximization to

#

achieve ultimate signal density for
public address and competitive
broadcast sound

Leveler automatically adjusts signal

#

density for harmonized loudness
and enhanced listening experience

Protects speaker systems that are

#

submitted to continuous operation
at maximum SPL

Controls the maximum allowable

#

sound pressure level in public
musical environments such as
discotheques, pubs, etc.

Whether at a club, a church or

an outdoor festival, the ability to

accurately and e ectively control

sound volume has always been

challenging. Especially in today’s

regulatory environment, it's extremely

important for proprietors to have

a solution in place to prevent

complaints and  nes, and to protect

their customers and sound system

when an over-enthusiastic engineer

decides to “crank it up.” The SPL3220 o ers the ideal solution, providing

dependable and seamless full-loudness control – without sacri cing the

sonic integrity of the sound system, or listening pleasure of the audience.

Speech enhancer to dramatically

#

increase speech intelligibility for PA
applications such as airports and
emergency announcement systems

IKA (Interactive Knee

#

Adaptation) compressor features
“inaudible” compression and
prevents “pumping” due to
low-frequency signals

IGC (Interactive Gain Control) peak

#

limiting circuitry combines clipper
and program limiter for reliable
and inaudible protection against
signal peaks

Highly accurate 8-segment

#

input/output level and
gain reduction meter

Exceptional Sound Quality
and Intelligibility

Thanks to onboard, multiband Interactive Gain
Control (IGC) and Interactive Knee Adaptation
(IKA) compression, the SPL3220 allows you
to apply processing with surgical precision
for maximum punch and intelligibility –
without the audible artifacts associated with
traditional, broadband dynamics processors.
Additionally, the SPL3220 can be used for mix
leveling and maximizing signal density at low
volumes, where perceived loudness becomes
even more important. Add to this the ability
to enhance speech intelligibility and provide
exceptional loudspeaker protection, while
preserving dynamic range – and the SPL3220
becomes an essential part of every audio
engineer’s toolkit.

and intuitive control panel make optimal
system setup fast and easy. SPL3220's control
panel access cover can even be sealed to
prevent unauthorized access, providing total
system security.
