Product Overview

DSP-based Loudspeaker Management Processor

BSP - 408

BSP series is digital loudspeaker processor of professional sound market and designed based on 40bit Float
ing Point DSP chip and high-quality converter of 96KHz and 24bit. BSP series provides 31 band graphic
equalizer, 9 band parametric equalizer, X-over (crossover), limiter and other different functions for loudspeak­er management. Especially for X-Over function, it offers differentially Advanced FIR of excellent fabric property
which satisfies linear phase, as well as the conventional IIR digital filter to support excellent sound which
minimizes mutual interference between speaker units. Besides, touch-based LCD panel maximizes the con­venience of user and intuitive GUI-based main control PC program supports users to set up the device as their
will via network.

■

① ② ③

① Mode Buttons

There are three keys:

•METER Key: show the information of gain and routing status

•MENU Key: go to menu screen for device’s parameter set-up

•ESC Key: move to previous menu

② 3.5” Touch LCD Display

Integrated 3.5” color touch screen LCD with backlight, controls setup and operation. The LCD control
screen and its controls let the user adjust the configuration of unit and variable function parameters.

③ Rotary Encoder Wheel

Move to menu or edit parameter data values. When you edit a parameter, press the center of wheel to
confirm it after you finish editing.

④ Input Signal Level Indicators

Indicate the current input peak level of signal. The red segment indicates that the channel’s signal reaches
the one set of audible clipping, which should avoid by adjusting the input level.

⑥

⑤ Output Signal Level Indicators

Indicate the current output peak level of signal. The red segment indicates that the channel’s signal reach­es the one set of audible clipping, which should avoid by adjusting the output level.

⑥ Mute On/Off Buttons

Mute or Un-Mute input and output channels. When an each channel is muted, a blue LED will come on for
indication.

②

① Main Power Unit

Turn the device power on/off. AC main input to the universal switched mode power supply, op­erates over a wide range of AC input voltages from 100V to 240V, 50/60Hz. Main Fuse is located
in a finger-proof holder adjacent to the mains inlet and its spec is 2.5A-250V.

② Control Input

The control input (Normal Open type) can be used to receive signals from third party equipment
that must trigger actions. This control input can also be used for audio mute action with emer
gency alarm equipment.

③ MGMT Ethernet Port

This Ethernet Port is a standard RJ45 CAT5 connector, used for transmission of remote control
data over long distance or multiple unit applications and allows setup device function by PC
control program. MGMT In & out Ports allow daisy-chain connection of multiple unit.

④ RS-232 Control Port

Used for system condition checking for only special engineers.

-

⑤ Balanced XLR Analog Input

Received electrically balanced audio signal, locking XLR connector

⑥ Balanced XLR Analog Output

Output electrically balanced audio signal to the system’s amplifiers.

07

⑦ Digital Input terminal

Receives AES/EBU digital input signal. This connection is wired like the audio analog connection,
but we recommend the use of the proper thress conductor, 110-Ohm, twisted pair cable.

⑧ Digital Output terminal

Send AES/EBU digital output signal.

⑨ USB Control terminal

Connect USB terminal to PC and allows setup device function by PC control program.
