General Description:
The Electro-Voice® NetMax N8000 is an all-purpose digital audio
system controller with outstanding performance features. A high
quality system design provides excellent audio quality and clear sound,
which is achieved by the application of high-end 24 Bit A/D and D/A
converters with 120 dB volume range, high-quality input and output
circuits in the analog domain and digital signal processing with
optimized 48 bit double-precision algorithms. Hence, the N8000 is
even particularly suitable for demanding applications in theatres,
concert halls, big churches etc.
NetMax N8000 is highly flexible due to the modular hardware design,
which renders many other applications possible. Four slots with 8channel audio modules at the rear of the device offer up to 32 local
audio channels. Each slot can be equipped either with an audio input
module or an audio output module. So, various configurations (e.g. 8in/8-out, 8-in/16-out, 8-in/24-out, 16-in/ 16-out, 24-in/8-out) can be
realized in only one single device. In addition, N8000 can be equipped
with a CobraNet™ network module. Several N8000 units can be
integrated in a network and be connected to a large, sophisticated
system.
The signal processing in the N8000 is affected on powerful audio
signal processors where, depending on the stage of expansion, - up
to 8 DSPs are available. The software contains a multitude of freely
programmable signal processing components. Among other things,
these are filters with all possible characteristics, parametric and
graphic equalizer, matrix router and matrix mixer , delays, dynamic
functions, etc. Diverse configurations can be created by combining
and connecting these DSP blocks.
The powerful signal processing allows complex configurations for
the adjustment and control of the sound system, depending on the
application or type of event. Thus, the sonic quality of P A speakers,
monitor speakers, front fill systems as well as of the sound
reinforcement of adjoining rooms, lobbies, areas for the staff etc.
can be optimized and tuned individually. In other words, the N8000
copes with every application - even with large and complex systems
absolutely exactly and reliably.
In addition to the audio processing, the NetMax N8000 is equipped
with diverse control functions. The scheduling with calendar function
makes it possible to program one-time or recurring events. The
recurrence can occur annually , monthly, weekly , daily , hourly or even
within smaller time intervals. Furthermore, daily programs can be set
up and can also be combined to weekly operations. With the event
control, reactions to certain events or system states can be
configured, e.g. in case of overstepping or undershooting of threshold
values. Faults in the device or in the complete NetMax system are
detected automatically and can be displayed on the PC screen or
transmitted to external sites if necessary.
Faults and other events are recorded in an internal log file with date
and time. Furthermore, it can be defined which types of errors or
events should be recorded. The log can be read out and displayed on
the screen at any time. In the NetMax N8000 individual functions can
be integrated into complex operations. For example, several
parameters can be set with various values or states in a scene and
can be changed manually or automatically at any time.

Architectural Specifications:
The NetMax N8000 Digital Matrix Processor shall be a modular , network-compatible and freely configurable audio system
with which complete system solutions can be constructed. The unit shall integrate all components ranging from the
matrix to the speakers including system control and system monitoring in a common audio platform. The configuration,
operation and monitoring of the system shall be controlled through the IRISNet control software protocol. The central unit
shall have up to 32 audio channels, mixer and matrix functions, signal processing and extensive control and monitoring
functions. The unit must be able to be networked together via a CobraNet™ audio and control network so that a large,
decentralized audio system can be assembled.
The system shall have comprehensive built in supervision functions to monitor and report failures in all aspects of the
systems functions. In addition with the support of compatible IRISNet enabled power amplifiers, the unit shall be able to
run and measure full impedance frequency sweeps on any speaker line connected to the unit and indicate if the
measurement is out of range of a pre-selected tolerance. The system processor shall also be able to control IRISNet
compatible amplifiers and distribute DSP functions to the remote amplifiers if necessary.
A NetMax system meets all relevant safety requirements. All audio connections, interfaces and processor systems are
monitored and displayed in case of fault. By using CobraNet™ redundant networks can be assembled.
