Software-Controllable Onboard DSP
Crown DriveCore Install DA amplifiers have Digital Signal Processing built into the amplifier.
When you use a DriveCore Install DA amp, the loudspeaker processors, crossovers, limiters and delays are in the onboard DSP – so discrete rack mount devices are not
needed. This drastically cuts setup time, commissioning, rack space and costs. The DriveCore Install DA DSP can be monitored and controlled with a computer running
Audio Architect software, and connected to the amplifier Network Connector by a Category 5 Network cable.
Some applications for this DSP are:
• Configure signal flow
• Optimize system gain structure
• Configure speaker configurations (set the drive levels, frequency bands, delays and limiting for your particular speakers)
• Configure EQ, filtering, and much more
See the Audio Architect Help files for more detailed information.
On the left of this panel is the Input and Output Signal Level Monitor. On the right side are rows of DSP selection buttons for each channel. When you double click on a
button, a control panel opens for that button's function.
Also on the right are buttons that open control panels for these functions:
• Amplifier mode
• Signal generator (pink noise and sine wave)
• Amplifier information
• Recall and store presets
• Preset manager
• Apply to others (apply this amplifier's DSP settings to other devices)
These functions will be further explained on the next several pages.
