    3. AC POWER REQUIREMENTS Note: The AC power switch for model 4048A is on the back panel. The Altec Lansing 4048A uses a universal input power supply which will accept any line voltage in the range of 80VAC to 260VAC, 50-60Hz, and is exceptionally resistant to voltage dips, or "brown outs".

    The green signal LED indicates -20dB output level. The amber limiter threshold LED depends on settings established within Altec Lansing Software, and, assuming the limiter is active, indicates that sufficient signal level has been reached for the limiter to begin the process of gain reduction. Clipping occurs at +20dB and is indicated by a red LED.

A flat blade screwdriver is required to connect a stripped wire lead to the loose connector, which is then inserted into the rear panel Euroblock receptacle.

There may be times, however, where audio system adjustments must be made in response to real time acoustic changes, such as room size.

    7. GETTING STARTED 7.1 Configuration Options Altec Lansing Maestro Software for the 4048A includes 10 permanent default configurations which can be used as starting points for setting up user defined presets. Modified configurations can then be saved to either disk (filename.alp) or one of 18 memory locations on the 4048A.
  • Page 10 Operating Manual -4048A digital signal processor 7.3 Audio Functions Editing of audio controls is done through the use of scroll bars, numerical entry, various keyboard shortcuts, or by visually dragging filter points in the frequency response window. Ease of use, especially in the frequency response window, makes it possible for fast, potentially destructive mistakes, so plan carefully before making radical gain or filter changes.
  • Page 11 Operating Manual-4048A digital signal processor 7.3d EQ Each input and output of the Altec Lansing 4048A processor has its own EQ section offering full parametric EQ, four types of shelving filters, and an all-pass filter. Input channels have eight selectable EQ filters, while output chan- nels have six selectable EQ filters.
  • Page 12 Operating Manual -4048A digital signal processor Shelving EQ filters: 1st order filters use a gentle 6dB per octave slope, while 2nd order filters use a 12dB per octave slope for more a pronounced boost or cut. All shelving filters have a boost/cut range of +/-15dB. Low shelving filters have a frequency range from 19.7Hz through 2kHz, and the high shelving filters range from 3.886kHz through 21.9kHz.
  • Page 13 Operating Manual-4048A digital signal processor Butterworth Butterworth filters individually are always -3dB at the displayed crossover frequency and are used because they have a "maximally flat" passband and sharpest transition to the stopband. When a Butterworth HPF and LPF of the same crossover frequency are summed, the combined response is always +3dB.

Since sound travels relatively slow through air (1130 ft/s at 20ºC), multiple loudspeaker locations can create a situation where the original audio signal, simultaneously leaving all loudspeakers, arrives at a single point in the venue at several different times.

    <Print Channel> in the File menu. Since there are no user controls on the 4048A, the only way to load channel presets is by using Altec Lansing Software to recall files saved on either the PC or the 4048A. The exception to this is through the use of contact closures, where presets 1-8 from the 4048A memory can be loaded using switches wired to the rear panel contact closure connector block (see section 5.4).
