  • Page 4: Overview

    This allows you to demonstrate your intellectual property at its best. This manual covers the dspMusik 2/8 as implemented as a complete ready to operate product. It is housed in an extruded aluminum box with an LCD display and encoder. The 2x16 character alpha-numeric LCD display and companion encoder are used for volume control, source selection and adjustment of other parameters.

    Windows computer. If you have an OEM version of the dspMusik 2/8, chances are this is how most of your system software was implemented. The specific layout and tuning was done by the OEM, so that their system performs optimally.
  • Page 6: I/O Configuration

    Balanced Audio - ADC & DAC Level Setting: The dspMusik 2/8 has both input PGAs (programmable gain amplifiers) and output attenuators to adjust the audio signals to optimum levels. The goal is to maximize signal level without clipping. These switch in approximately 6dB steps (a little different for the first step to accommodate dBu to dBV differences).
  • Page 7 Since professional level is defined as balanced and consumer level is defined as unbalanced, it gets a little more complicated. Consumer level is usually unbalanced. This means that a proper input cable (maybe from a phono preamplifier) should connect Center (source) to Hot (dspMusik, tip), and Ground (source) to Ground and Cold (ring) on the dspMusik TRS.

  • Page 9: Dspmusik Display/Encoder Operation

    dspMusik Display/Encoder Operation The display/encoder consists of a 2x16 alphanumeric display and a rotary encoder for control. The encoder rotates continuously and also has a pushbutton shaft switch. There is also an IR receiver that allows alternative control from an Apple Remote. The Apple remote is assumed to be the later style (silver) that has 7 buttons.
  • Page 10 Rotating the encoder changes the volume for the selected source. Alternatively, you can use the Up, Down, Left or Right buttons of the Apple Remote. Doubleclicking the encoder or pressing the Pause button of the remote causes the system to mute or unmute for all sources. When the system is muted, it is shown on the display.
  • Page 11 Settings Mode Settings are a collection of configurations, information or test features that are used occasionally. Different dspMusiks will likely have a different collection of choices since dspMusik displays are routinely customized for specific OEM requirements. Since Settings are accessed infrequently, the assumption is that its access should be somewhat slower and decidedly intentional.
  • Page 12: Dspblok Options

    Options The dspMusik 2/8 is powered by an Analog Devices’ SHARC floating point DSP as implemented on a Danville dspblok DSP module. There are a number of pin compatible dspbloks that will work with the dspMusik. Historically, the dspMusik has been supplied with either the dspblok 21479u8a or the dspblok 21469+USB.
  • Page 13: Product Warranty
