6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 Connection to the AC mains supply and power absorption

Check that your mains power supply is sufficient for the power requirement of your controller. The voltage of the electric mains must correspond to the voltage indicated on the back of the processor. Maximum current absorption is limited by internal fuses.

6.2 Conection to an external PC

The Digital Speaker software allows the user to create, modify and cancel audio configurations (presets) inside the PS266 processor through a user friendly interface from PC, in a visual and consequently easier way. The connection between the PC and the processor occurs through an RS232 (serial) port and a proprietary protocol. The connection of PS266 processor to the PC occurs through an RS232 (serial) interface by a cable with DB-9 male The installation CD, included to each digital processor PS266, is necessary to install the software.

Note: if a RS232 serial port is missing in the PC, it will be possible to use an USBRS232 adapter, available on sale. In this case, after the driver installation, a virtual serial (COM) interface is created, to be selected on Config using the software. Serial (COM) port must be included between COM1 and COM4. If virtual serial port is not included between them, please refer to adapter manual or operating system manual, for the modification process.

• Description of the Control Window

The first folder in the top left-hand corner of the window (In folder) allows to enter the controls of the equalization and of the input delay. They are useful to apply modifications to the sound configurations (according to the surrounding, the installation type, etc.) without acting on the factory output presets. Clicking on the red record it is possible to enter the setting in detail of the EQ input (type of filter, frequency, gain, etc.).

Clicking on the other folders in the same window, it is possible to configure outputs without coming back to the general configuration display.

Each output channel includes the layout to set the following parameters:

1) Output gain for the channel (Gain) The output gain layout for this channel is made by running the cursor to the

top or to the bottom, the selected value is shown in the text box under the cursor.

2) Output limiter for the channel (Limit) The layout of the limiter for this channel is made by running the cursor to the

top or to the bottom, the value selected is shown in the text box under the cursor.

3) Mute function (Mute 1, Mute 2, etc.)

4) Phase inversion (180)

5) Source layout for the channel (Source)

The source of the selected channel allows to choose if that channel must

receive the signal from the right channel, from the left channel, or the sum of both of them (SUM A+B). This function is user friendly, if the processor is used in stereo, but subwoofers must be in mono.

6) Output delay for channel (Delay) The layout of the output delay for the selected channel is made by inserting

the value by hand in the text box or by using the arrows on the side of the box to the value requested.

7) Crossover cut (LOW Freq, HIGH Freq) The cuts made by the crossover are selectable through the controls

respectively referring to pass-high and pass-bass filter.

“OUT” wording in place of frequency (in the top windows) is for the non-

intervention of the crossover for that filter.

SOUND REINFORCEMENT ACOUSTIC RESEARCHCONTROLLED RADIATION

8) Output parametric equalization

Clicking on the controls of the parametric equalizer it is possible to modify its values through a second window. This window includes 4 text controls and 2 buttons with the following functions: Type: type of equalization filter Note: the Shelving type of filter (“Low/High 6” or “Low/High12”), unlike

Bell that has a certain central frequency, optimally works from a certain

frequency to the device upper limit.

Freq: Equalization frequency Gain: height of the curve of equalization Wd: width of the curve of equalization, set into octaves Flat: reset of the equalization band to the default layouts Add EQ: it allows to add a further equalization. Attention: the processor has a maximum of 18 calculation slots. Each equalization band and each 24 dB of crossover cut engage 1 of them, therefore, if all 12 equalization bands are used for one channel, there will be no other available for the other channels, nor crossover cuts.

• Recall and Save of an Audio (preset)

To recall/load a preset: a) from PS266 to PC: in the Config -> Memory sub-menu, the Refresh key

allows to view the list of 60 presets available in the EEPROM of PS266.

To recall one of them, select it and then click on Recall; b) from PC to PS266: it is just necessary to import the preset (file with .syx

extention downloadable straight from the Peecker Sound website) using the folder icon in the toolbar (the second one from the left) or straight double-clicking on the .syx file on desktop.

To save a preset (new or a modification of a loaded one): a) on EEPROM of PS266: it is enough to enter in the Memory menu, after

fixing the sound configuration required, save the preset in the program number (60 available) and click on the Store button (the software will ask

to name the preset). Note: after closing the window, the program will ask to save (or not) on the PC the .sys file imported or to generate a NoTitle.sys file; b) on PC: use the floppy disk icon (third one from left in the toolbar) from the

EEPROM memory of PS266 (a file with .sys extention is saved on the PC), but

ONLY after recalling the preset previously saved according to the item a). Attention: in fact, the floppy icon of the toolbar works as Save As (not as Save, that would overwrite the modifications on the current preset) ONLY after recalling the configuration from the memory of the processor. Therefore, it is suggested to save on this EEPROM every modifications to a preset imported.

Protezione e blocco del programma (Program Lock)•

I programmi utente possono essere protetti per evitare una immediata sovrascrittura delle memorie. Se durante la pressione di SAVE/ENTER apparirà il simbolo “¶”, il salvataggio non verrà

eseguito. Il messaggio di “programma bloccato” resterà sullo

schermo per qualche secondo. Dopo la scomparsa di tale

messaggio sarà possibile sbloccare il programma utilizzando il tasto NEXT o ruotando l’encoder in senso antiorario. A questo

punto sarà possibile eseguire il salvataggio. Dopo l’operazione di salvataggio il PS266 chiederà se il programma dovrà essere salvato come “Locked” (bloccato) o “Unlocked” (non bloccato). Ruotando l’encoder sarà possibile selezionare l’opzione desiderata, premere quindi SAVE/ENTER una terza volta per

7.4 Stereo Link

The bands do not necessarily have to cross over at the same frequency, as an offset can be maintained between them.

This parameter adjusts the stereo linking of the various Input and Output

parameters. This parameter is also stored as part of the Program data.

In 2 channel 3-way mode, Output pairs 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 are linked, while in LCR 2-way mode Outputs 1-3 and 4-6 are linked.

When in Edge mode, by contrast, all the crossover slopes remain independently

• Step and Offset

There are two different types of link parameters: Step and Offset.

adjustable. This mode is useful when first setting up a system to adjust the

response of every individual component/driver.

A Step parameter is characterized by discrete selections such as type of filter, high-pass slope, polarity and so on. When the channels are linked and a Step parameter is changed, e.g. the type of high-pass slope, the values of the two channels will necessarily be the same. Offset parameters, by contrast, are not characterized by discrete selections but by a series of numerical values such as gain, frequency or delay. There can be offsets between these parameters when the channels are linked. Should one of the linked parameters reach the limit value, none of the other linked parameters can go above this limit.

Delay units can be changed according to the specific application and are expressed in the following units of measurement:

• Milliseconds (ms)

• Frames per second (24, 25 & 30 fr/s)

• Feet (ft)

• Metres (m)

Use the and keys or rotary encoder to select the required measurement units. The latter allows you to view the delay value with the associated unit of measurement selected.

7.7 Protection

The unit has three levels of protection: Lock Out, OEM Lock and Owner Lock. They prevent the parameters and programs from being inadvertently changed or tampered with by unauthorized or unqualified users.

• Lock Out

This is the main security device. When Lock Out is on, none of the parameters

can be adjusted (with the exception of Lock Out and the display Contrast),

no Programs can be stored or recalled and the channels’ Mute function

7.5 Crossover mode

cannot be activated/deactivated.

This function allows the crossover slopes of the linked bands to be interconnected to make setting easier.

The appliance is protected against any accidental modification. To activate/ deactivate Lock Out, move to the SETUP→Lock Out screen and use the rotary encoder or

and keys to set Lock Out on On/Off.

Figure 7. Both & Edge

If, for example, they are in Both mode and we change the high-pass slope frequency of an output channel set up as e.g. ‘Low’ band, the

low-pass slope frequency in the adjacent ‘Mid’ band output channel

will also be changed.

This utility is used to transfer program information between PS266 units of the same model as well as to any MIDI sysex (system exclusive) capable sequencer or computer. Connect the MIDI cable to the MIDI Out of the transmitter and to the MIDI In of the receiver then move to the SETUP → Midi Dump.

Pressing the key on the transmitter will display the prompt screen below

A MIDI sysex message will now be sent to the receiver warning of an incoming MIDI dump.

The PS266 receiver should display a message requesting authorization for the incoming dump. If you do not wish to have the memory of the PS266 receiver overwritten, press the

“No” to the prompt “Allow Dump?”. The Receiver will return to normal

operation and ignore all incoming program information.

Pressing PREV/NEXT at any time will return the transmitter to the Utilities mode. Press SAVE/ENTER on the transmitter to perform the dump.

The transmitter will now display the following screen.

If communication is successful, a progress percentage will appear on the transmitter. When it reaches 100%, the transmitter will return to the MIDI dump screen and the MIDI dump is complete.

Note: a system dump received by a different model could erase all the information stored in the memory of that unit. If you have many different models linked together, make sure that none of the units due to receive dump information are either switched off or set on another MIDI channel.

8. DSP FEATURES

8.1 Input channels

There are three input sections: Input A, Input B and Input Sum (A+B). Delay and EQ can be added to Inputs A, B and stereo linked to A&B, but only the delay is applicable directly to the Sum A+B.

• Delay

Delay is applicable from 0 to 635 ms with 21μs steps for Input A, Input B and input A+B. Delay from any input to an output path cannot exceed 635.417 milliseconds. The unit of measurement for delay to represent this value, as either milliseconds, feet or frames per second, is set in the utilities section.

8.2 Output channels

There are six output sections: Output 1 - Output 6. The output parameter screens can be accessed by pressing the PARAMETER button (press the encoder). If the outputs are connected in Stereo Link, different output combinations can be interconnected so that changing parameters (e.g. EQ and Crossover settings) will effect changes in both channels. In 2 channel 3-way configuration, the following outputs are paired: output 1 and 2, output 3 and 4, and output 5 and 6. In LCR 2-way configuration, outputs 1, 3 and 5 are linked, as are 2, 4 and 6. When outputs are linked, the name band derives from the channel assigned to the lowest numbered output. Similarly, if the linked outputs are offset, the parameter value for the lowest numbered output is displayed. To see the values of the highest numbered output, turn the Stereo Link off.

• Output Name The output band name can be selected from a pre-programmed list. Move to the OUT→ Name screen and use the encoder to scroll through the list. Choose the name that most closely describes the use of each channel.

Available names:

• L Low, L Mid, L High

• Source

This allows selection of the input channel to assign to a particular output (in case of Mono mode). The options are: Input A, Input B or the sum of both (SUM A+B). When connected in stereo 2 channel 3-way mode, the selection is normally Inputs A&B.

• Delay linking

This is used to maintain the offsets between the various channels. Typical uses include setting of the Offset delay of individual transducers for maximum performance (e.g. driver alignment). Should the delay be changed, the connected channel will follow and maintain the Offset. Normally the transducer delays are set first, followed by any overall delay for cluster or delay tower alignment.

• Gain

Output channel gain can be adjusted from -15 dB to +15 dB with 0.2 dB

steps. The nominal setting for outputs is 0 dB.

The following table shows the linkable channels for each mode.

Output Mono 2 channel - 3 way LCR - 2 way 1 2 3 4

Tab le 2. Linking

Every output channel has a limiter that can be set to any threshold between -10 and 20 dBu. Limiters perform two important functions: to prevent amplifier clipping and to limit the amount of power transmitted to the transducers. In applications whose systems need to operate at high volume levels for long periods of time, setting the correct limiter threshold is crucial for protecting the speaker drivers. The value set in this screen is also the metric reference value of the output channel.

If the limiter is set to 2.0 dBu, the output measurement for the selected channel will represent a limit of +2dBu with a reading of -3, -6, -12 and

-30 dB relevant to that level, i.e. -1 dBu, -4 dBu, -10 dBu, -22 dBu and

-28 dBu. Limiters are normally set slightly below maximum settings.

Limiter level calculations

The method for setting the threshold value is given by the following equation:

Threshold limit (dBu) = Transducer voltage limit (dBu) – Amplifier gain (dB)

When using Delay Linking, we recommend using the following adjustment

order:

• Driver alignment within cabinets

• Cabinet alignment within clusters

• Delay alignment between clusters

In 2 channel 3-way and LCR configurations, the default settings include both Delay Linking and Stereo Linking.

• Polarity

The polarity of the input signal can be reversed using the and keys or rotary encoder. If the polarity is changed on a linked output, both outputs will change to the same selection.

• Delay

The delay for the output or input channels can be adjusted from 0 to 635

ms, in 21μs steps. At no time can there be a delay of over 635 ms on any input and output path. Use the

and keys to select delay values in 21μs steps and the

rotary encoder for quicker delay selection.

• High pass filter (HPF)

The high-pass filter can be selected among the following types: Bessel 12, 24 dB/Oct; Butterworth 6, 12, 18, 24, 48 dB/Oct; Linkwitz-Riley 12, 24 and 48 dB/Oct.

The options are displayed as follows: BUT6, BUT12, BES12, L-R12, BUT18, BUT24, BES24, L-R24, BUT48 and L-R48.

• HPF Frequency

This control adjusts the cut-off frequency of the selected crossover (high-pass).

The range is from 15 Hz to 16 kHz in 1/6 Octave steps; under 15 Hz the filter is disabled (Out), while 16 kHz is the limit of the device frequency response. To adjust the cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter use the encoder or

, keys.

Note: if the filter frequency exceeds 16 kHz, the output channel turns off.

• Low pass filter (LPF)

The filter cut-off frequency can be selected from among the following types: Bessel (12, 24 dB/Octave); Butterworth (6, 12, 18, 24 or 48 dB/Octave); LinkwitzRiley (12, 24 and 48 dB/Octave).

The options are displayed as follows: BUT6, BUT12, BES12, L-R12, BUT18, BUT24, BES24, L-R24, BUT48 and L-R48.

• LPF Frequency

This control adjusts the cut-off frequency of the selected low-pass crossover.

The range is from 15 Hz to 16 kHz in steps of about 1/6 Octave; over 16 kHz the filter is disabled (Out). To adjust the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter use the encoder or

and keys.

• EQ Output

The screen below shows the first EQ on outputs 1&2 (labelled as “Low”). A 12 dB Low Shelf filter has been selected and there are currently 26 spare filters still available.

• EQ Frequency

EQ frequency is adjustable from 15 Hz to 16 kHz in 1/6 Octave steps.

The screen below shows the first EQ on Output 2 (labelled as Low). It has a frequency of 1 kHz.

• EQ Gain

Selectable gain from -15 dB to +15 dB in 0.2 dB steps. Setting an EQ cut/boost to 0 dB will de-assign the filter, allowing it to be assigned to another channel.

• EQ band Bandwidth is only available for Bell EQ, from 0.05 to 3 Octaves in 0.05 Octave steps.

8.3 Equalization

Multiple EQs can be assigned to individual input and output channels. If there is no EQ on the currently selected channel (where filters are available), the PREV key will step into an unused Bell EQ with 1 kHz frequency, 0 dB cut/ boost and 0.3 width. Provided this EQ is used first, further EQs can be assigned to a single channel by applying various degrees of cut or boost; pressing PREV again will enter into a new EQ.

The EQ parameters are: EQ type (Bell, High Shelf 12 dB, High Shelf 6 dB, Low Shelf 12 dB, Low Shelf 6 dB), frequency, gain and width (for Bell filters only).

• EQ Input

It is possible to assign an EQ to inputs A, B (and A&B). High and Low Shelving with 12 dB or 6 dB/Octave slopes as well as parametric (bell) curves can be

used. To add EQ to Input Sum A+B, adjust EQ parameters on the individual

unmixed inputs (A, B) which are then summed into A+B Inputs.
