LPP240A
FIR 2 In - 4 Out Speaker Management System
LPP240A is a High End 2-IN/4-OUT digital speaker management
system which maintains the same outstanding Sound Quality of
the former DPA240A version, but highly improved in terms of
DSP processes and added of an astonishing FIR filtering tool
set. Designed for maximum versatility, it provides all the
processing and control necessary for both live and fixed
installation use. Proving for any crossover configuration, it
offers 2 analog inputs, 4 analog outputs and 1 AES/EBU inputs,
managed by 2 powerful MARANI® DSP Engines, for a full 96kHz
processing, in addition to 24 Bit AD/DA Converters. Each input
channel provides a choice of a 13-band Parametric EQ, Gain
control, Noise Gate, RMS Compressor, Internal White/Pink
Noise Generator, and configurable Delay. Each output offers up
to 7-band of parametric equalization, in addition to the IIR
crossover filters which themselves provide slopes from
6dB/Octave up to 48dB/Octave. Each output path also features
PEAK Limiter, RMS Compressor and configurable Delay.
Particularly, the Output X-Over Filtering can be selected to be
IIR style, with the complete set of Classic Hp/Lp filters
(Butterworth, Linkwitz-Railey, Bessel) or FIR, being for each
output channel available a 512 taps FIR filter which can be set
as Hp/Lp/Bp. On each one of the 2 Input paths, one more 1024
taps Asymmetrical FIR is available for Phase Correction
purposes, where the Coefficients Calculation can be supported
by an embedded Wizard tool or can be Loaded from external
sources as Third Parties Sw for the FIR filters coefficients
generation. Being the phase correction FIR Asymmetrical, a
powerful tool for adjusting/reducing the FIR latency is available,
allowing therefore the to be used without any LPP240A
problem also for Live performances still having the Phase
correction FIR running together with the eventual FIR for the XOver implementation in cascade. The supports a full LPP240A
set of matrix mixing modes where Input sources can be
routed/mixed to the Input paths, inputs paths may be
routed/mixed in any ratio to any output and couple of outputs
(1 /2, 3 /4) c an be s wap ped at pleasure. For remote
configuration and control the can be connected via LPP240A
USB/RS485/TCP-IP connections. The control remote PC
software allows simultaneous control up to 32 units, setting all
parameters and showing real time levels.
