Page 3: Product Description
1.4 or higher of the Hypex Filter Design program! In earlier versions the PSC is not yet implemented. The first time the PSC2.400 is used all biquads are zero, so there are no filters installed When you switch to Bridged mode please be sure to connect your speakers like described in this manual Do note that the Firmware update differs to the AS2.100 firmware update. -

Save the entire impulse record – truncation can be done later on the filter design program. Measuring using an external amplifier A separate amplifier may also be used for measuring the drivers, provided the amplifier’s output impedance is as low as the DSP unit’s.

PSC2.400 User manual R5 this frequency. A way of obtaining quasi anechoic low-frequency measurements is making close-up measurements. Working with such measurements requires a good deal of interpretation but it is doable. Important: Avoid making any corrections for which no anechoic data is available. If reflections are... -

PSC2.400 User manual R5 The second step is designing the actual crossover filters. All the usual strategies work. Delaying higher frequency drivers with respect to lower-frequency ones is a powerful alternative to using asymmetric slopes and yields substantially improved coherence through the crossover region. -
Page 15: Safety Precautions
User manual R5 Safety precautions The PSC2.400 is supplied with a switched mode power supply. The following chapter explains the safety precautions which have to be made for these kinds of products. The SMPS400 operates at mains voltage and carries hazardous voltages at accessible parts. -

Page 17: Mains Selection
User manual R5 Mains selection The PSC2.400 is factory set to operate at a mains voltage of 230Volt. The user is able to change this setting to 115Volt. Instructions must be followed! Before changing the mains settings disconnect the unit from the mains and allow all ca- pacitors to discharge for 10 minutes before handling it. -
