ZonePro 640/641/1260/1261

FILE

The ZonePro allows importing

and exporting of program files

to the computer for later use

in system duplication or off-line

editing.

SCENES

Scenes are snapshots of the

ZonePro configuration and

parameters. Scenes can be

stored and recalled from either

the Real Time Clock or from

Zone Controllers.

WIZARD

The Wizard function provides a

quick and intuitive method of

system configuration and setup.

The Wizard allows setup of sig-

nal routing, controllers, and

DSP selection.

INPUT

The input module allows input

gain control, and in the first two

inputs, Highpass Filter control is

also available for reducing micro-

phone handling noise or other

undesirable sonic characteristics.

INPUT EQ

All the ZonePro inputs provide

EQ. The first two inputs have a

four-band parametric EQ for

microphone tonal control, while

the other inputs have a two-band

parametric EQ for tonal shaping

of the source.

INPUT INSERTS

Tw o DSP inserts are available on

the mic/line inputs for micro-

phone processing. These inserts

provide selectable DSP functions

including: Feedback Suppression

(AFS

™

), Notch Filtering, Gating,

Compression, De-Esser, and

Automatic Gain Control.

ROUTING

Every output zone has its own

individually selectable primary

source, priority override source

and paging source. These

sources can be selected and

ducking can be setup for both

priority override and paging.

Output level control is also found

in the Routing section.

AUTOWARMTH

AutoWarmth

is a psychoa-

coustic function that maintains

full frequency bandwidth even

when the signal level has

dropped.

BANDPASS FILTERS

Bandpass Filters can be used as

Crossovers for subwoofers, or

to maximize the performance

of speakers by limiting the out

of band information.

OUTPUT EQ

A six-band parametric EQ is

available on all outputs to

maximize the sonic perform-

ance of the speakers.

DYNAMICS

To provide system protection, the

ZonePro allows selection between

output Compression, Limiting or

Automatic Gain Control.

DELAY

The ZonePro offers over 400

mSec of output Delay for signal

aligning of the system or speakers.

OUTPUT

The output module of the

ZonePro provides polarity con-

trol of the output signal.

The dbx ZonePro

™

640, 641, 1260 and 1261 were

designed to provide flexible programmable zone

processing for multi-zone commercial applica-

tions.

With six inputs and four outputs on the 640 and

641 and 12 inputs and six ouputs on the 1260

and 1261, the ZonePro products are incredibly

flexible allowing any input to be a primary or

priority override source, and two inputs desig-

nated as paging sources. Outputs are also high-

ly configurable with combinations including,

mono and stereo zones, and zones with sub-

woofers.

The ZonePro products provide every tool

required for maximizing system performance;

from paging microphone functions like Gating

and Feedback Suppression, to system processing

such as EQ, Crossovers, Dynamics, and Delay.

The included GUI comes complete with a

Wizard function that speeds system setup. The

GUI also allows programming of the end-user

controls like the ZC wall panels and/or the front

panels of the 640 and 1260.

From signal routing to control to processing, the

ZonePro products are complete multi-zone

audio solutions.
