Digitool™ MX
The Digitool™ MX is a fully programmable audio processing and control system. It includes
advanced parallel DSP processing, a multi-layer front panel display, and multiple interface and
control options. Signal processing is accomplished using two 32-bit parallel SHARC processors
with a combined power of 132 Mips. The Digitool MX gives the system designer an economical
alternative to design, and is considerably more powerful than similarly priced components.
The Digitool MX’s host processor and non-volatile ash memory maintain user-dened
congurations and allow interface via the unit’s front panel control and optional external control
interfaces. Completely upgradable through a standard serial connection to a PC, the Digitool MX
allows the system designer to upgrade to the latest version without removing the unit from the
rack and disassembling the chassis.
The graphic display is capable of displaying real-time audio signal activity, active presets, and
control information for audio processes, as well as monitoring critical variables such as internal
cabinet temperature and power presence.
Features:
• Eight balanced analog line/mic inputs
• Phantom power
• Eight balanced analog line outputs
• 24-bit A/D and D/A converters
• Up to 96 kHz sample rate
• Sixteen front panel dual-color LED indicators
• Three front panel parameter controls
• Large 64 x 128 pixel display with back light
• Jog/select control encoder for navigating the display
• 32-bit parallel processing by two ADI SHARC DSPs
• RS-232 connection for easy set-up and operation
• RS-485 connection for remote serial functions
• Four assignable control input ports(analog)
• Worldwide-compatible power supply
• Jog/select control encoder for navigating the dis-
play
