The DPN Network
With the Zapco DPN Network, you can address up to 10 amplifiers into your network and control each one individually from the same pc screen.
Do you plan a big system? With the Zapco DPN and the Zapco
DC amplifiers, you can have up to 60 channels of digitally processed Zapco sound.
With the Zapco DC systems there are simply no limits.
One amp or ten amps…It’s all up to you
Addressing your amps in the Network
USB Cable connects DC Amplifier to PC
1 2 3 4 5 6
Addressing is by 6 position DIP Switch.
Pins 1 to 4 address the
Amplifiers
Pins 5 and 6 are not used
and should always stay in the up position.
Each Amplifier in the network must have a different
combination of pins 1 to 4 so each will have a unique position in the
network
4 conductor Phone cable connects each DC- Series amp to the others in the network
DC-Series Speaker Output Impedance
(Did you see the Low-Z Switch? Do you want to know more?)
For Your Information:
Zapco Rail Voltage Monitoring is a system
to protect your sound when speaker impedance drops below normal range.
Example: At 4 a DC352 has 100W RMS at
rated distortion. At 2Ω it has 175W RMS at rated distortion.
But, what happens if there is a problem in a passive crossover and there is an impedance drop?
Or if a ported enclosure causes a 2 woofer to go down to only 1?
The rail voltage monitoring system reduces rail voltage so the amp does not go into low-impedance protection. Your music keeps right on playing. If you will be playing below 2 often, then you can engage
the Low-Z switch to lock in the lower rail voltage
The DSP-Z8
The DC-Series amps were designed to be the ideal solution for every car. But, not everyone will want to use the DC amps. You may want to use the Z-Series or the Studio
Series amps.
Or, maybe you already have amplifiers and just want processing.
The DSP-Z8 puts all the processing power of the DC-Series amplifiers in a stand-alone digital signal processor that can be used with any amplifier in any system. All the control functions of the DC amps are right there in the DSP-Z8
The DSP-Z8 also adds Auxiliary Input functions to the Zapco processing system.
The Zapco DPN GUI
The PC Control Screen
This is the PC control Screen if you use the DC-Series Amplifiers, or if you use the DSP-Z8. All the processing functions are the same for both
