EAW MX8750 User Manual

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS MX8750
DESCRIPTION
The MX8750 Digital Electronic Processor is designed to optimize the performance of a wide range of EAW loudspeakers. It is a cost effective, single-rack space, processor with fully controllable confiuration and signal processing functions. It is designed for use in single or two channel modes with bi-amplified and tri-amplified loudspeakers along with subwoofers. The MX8750 has two input channels each with eight outputs that can be configured in any combination of input to output. Its functions include crossover filters, parametric equalization, shelving EQ, HP and LP filters, de­lay, polarity and limiting. The range and quantity of processing finctions assures being able to achieve optimum system perfor­mance. The MX8750 is controlled by using EAW software and a Windows PC with an RS-232 or midi interface. There is a full comple­ment of level and status indicatores plus individual output mutes for setting-up and troubleshooting systems.
PRELIMINARY DATA
FEATURES
- Fully controllable configurations and signal processing func­tions
- Digital processing for precise settings
- 6 bands of parametrice EQ on each input, 5 on each output and 7 crossover types ensure optimum performance
- Each EQ band is selectable between full parametric or first and second order hi/lo shelving filters
- Active balanced input and outputs with XLR connectors
CLOSE COUPLED ELECTRONIC PROCESSING
The concept of Closed Coupled Electronic ProcessingTM (CCEPTM) is central to the EAW design process. EAW engineers integrate elec­tronic signal processing into the total loudspeaker system but we recognize that electronics can only improve performance after all other electro-mechanical factors have been optimized. The MX8750 processor is capable of providing complex asymetrical crossovers, delay compensation, parametric equalization, LPF ands HPF filter­ing, shelving EQ and limiting. While all parameters are fully ad­justable, the MX8750 can be configured using factory-determined settings for a particular loudspeaker system.

CONFIGURATIONS
The MX8750 processor is field configured (Close CoupledTM) for a particular EAW loudspeaker system. If you have any questions please contact an authorized EAW sales agent or the factory to be certain that you have correctly configured the processor to your system.
