MULTIBAND DYNAMICS PROCESSOR SPL3220
Stereo Multiband Sound Processor / Loudness Maximizer / Limiter
Professional multiband
#
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

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.
