    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Terminals marked with the lightning symbol carry electrical current of sufficient magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock. Use only high quality cables with plugs pre-installed. All other installation or modification should be performed only by qualified personnel. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of un-insulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure - voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.

  • Page 7: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The iO-48 is a very powerful high-end audio processor, ideally suited for install applications, where it combines the functions of a multitude of conventional products in a compact 1U unit with extensive remote control capabilities over ethernet. It is important to remark that there are not any front/rear panel controls in the unit. It MUST be controlled using the 11-NET software always.

Signal present, 6dB below clipping, 0dB/maximum input level and clip*. *If analogue input clipping is neared by 1dB, the red input Clip LED will illuminate to show this. Output Meters: Real time LED output meters show level from the limiter threshold in 4-segments...
  • Page 9: E11Even-Net Control Software

    E11EVEN-NET CONTROL SOFTWARE E11EVEN-NET is an Ethernet based computer control platform that gives the end user the ability to not only control all the devices on a network, but also to store presets and configure systems offline. Compatibility with Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac and Apple iPad too, you can control your system the way that suits you.
  • Page 10: Preset Recall

    When using the iO-48 there are two basic procedures: Recalling a preset from the bank of memories included in the iO-48 units (also recalling an output channel preset). Each iO-48 unit comes with a bank of memories that includes different E11EVEN Sound systems and combinations of them.
  • Page 11 Creating a new preset “offline” D-Net allows the user to work “online” or “offline” with the devices. Working “offline” allows to create presets with filters, limiters, EQs etc. and later on when going “online” sending them to the unit(s). Here it is shown the main window of the software. The “devices” can be distributed in “racks” or “zones”...
  • Page 12 When working “offline” The user can “add” devices following this process: press + and select the iO-48 processor If there are no “racks” created, by default the “added” units are all included in the “Main rack”: At this moment the “device 1"...
  • Page 13 The “Device 1" has been moved to the “zone” named “DANCE FLOOR” To access inside the “devices” double click on them; the main window of the device will appear: inputs and outputs names can be changed Inputs Outputs The name of the “device” can be also edited: These are all the different “pages”...
  • Page 14: Routing

    Next step will be defining the “routing” of the system. Click on the “Routing Wizard” and make your choice. In this case we are going to select a 2 x 4 way Crossover. muted outs E11EVEN SOUND \ IO-48 \ User’s Manual...
  • Page 15 Keep in mind that when a standard 2x4 or 2x3 or 4x2 crossover is set up, the channels are automatically linked. For instance, in a 2x4 configuration, channels 1 and 5 are linked, as well as channels 2&5, 3&6 and 4&8. linked channels In the Routing screen, the user can select the input channels that are going to “feed”...
  • Page 16 The EQ page is divided in to blocks, Inputs (A, B, C, D) and Outputs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). It is shown in the image below the part that belongs to the inputs. For Each input there are available 8 EQ points plus a High Pass filter: High Pass Filters: EQ types;...

  • Page 18: Dynamic Eq (Deq)

    Dynamic EQ is only available in the input channels (A, B, C, D). Dynamic EQ block is basically a compressor or expander that can be set to respond and act upon only a certain range of frequencies. Its behaviour is dependant on the operating mode chosen (4 modes) – two of these are relatively traditional, whilst two modes offer the possibility to turn the normal action of compressors and expanders on their head to allow innovative adaptive control of the program material.
  • Page 19 Boost below: Boost below, frequency 2kHz: As the signal drops below the threshold, the selected band of frequencies will be progressively boosted in relation to the rest of the spectrum, offering a perceived ‘lift’ in the band. Signals above the threshold pass unaltered.

  • Page 21 Once the Routing, EQ, GEQ, DEQ, has been defined user can store the file in the PC, and go “online” when needed. When going “online”, this dialog will appear: Select the option “Send device settings from this file to the devices”. This action will upload to the unit all the parameters (settings) previously defined offline on the software.
  • Page 22: Limiters

    LIMITERS The limiters built into the iO-48 processor are intended to be used for loudspeaker driver protection, as opposed to amplifier protection. The following section describes how to set up the unit´s limiters to provide exceptional protection against driver overheating and cone over-excursion. Most speaker systems are given a power rating in Watts RMS. This is the maximum continuous power that the system will handle and often appears very conservative.
  • Page 23 The tables shown on the previous page are displayed here in graph format: The limiter on each output has an adjustable attack time and threshold, with a release time that is selectable to be a multiplier of the attack time. For example, the attack time is 2ms, then realese time is x16 = 32ms. The attack and release times can be automatically linked to the high pass filter frequency of the output, so that they are set to correct values for the output´s frequency range.
  • Page 24: Compressors

    COMPRESSORS Compressors are used in professional to compress the dynamic range of a signal - that is - stop the loud parts getting too loud in a bid to prevent sudden unwanted jumps in level. In the iO-48 there is one compressor available per input channel.
  • Page 25: Load Output Channel

    LOAD OUTPUT CHANNEL SETTINGS The iO-48 allows to load (recall) a preset from the ones that are internally stored in its local bank of memories. By doing this, the user is loading a complete list of settings for all the outputs at the same time.
  • Page 26 LOCK DEVICE The iO-48 devices can be locked. this option can be found in the “System” page. Besides the Locking menu, in this section the user will find all information related to the network and firmware of the unit.
