Macros allow the sequencing of commands that can be sent to the local device
•
or external devices via the LAN port — A single XMP 240 can act as the central
interface from a control system, sending commands to other DMP Plus, AXI AT, and
DTP CrossPoint devices.
•
Compact half rack size — Allows more input and output channels, with more
processing power, to be installed in less space.
•
Advanced audio processing on all outputs — Up to 48 speaker zones can be
implemented on one XMP 240 with full processing for each zone, making it ideal for full
mix-minus implementations.
•
Adaptive Gain Processing — An adaptive gain processor block allows a specified
microphone input to affect levels on any one or all other inputs and virtual returns.
•
Built-in two-port Gigabit switch — Provides redundant or daisy-chain operation with
other Dante-enabled devices.
Automixer with eight groups — The XMP 240 features an automixer with gated and
•
gain sharing modes for managing up to eight groups of microphone signals. Gating
threshold, signal level reduction, and timing parameters are user-adjustable per channel,
allowing for fine-tuning to avoid the "chopped" sound characteristic of a traditional
automixer when a mic is gated off.
ProDSP 64-bit floating point signal processing — The XMP 240 features 64-bit
•
floating point audio DSP processing, which maintains very wide dynamic range and
audio signal transparency, to simplify management of gain staging while reducing the
possibility of DSP signal clipping.
•
DSP Configurator™ Software — A powerful yet user-friendly PC-based software
tool for managing all audio operations of the XMP 240. It enables complete setup
and configuration of digital audio processing tools on the ProDSP platform, as well as
routing and mixing.
Building Blocks for channel processor settings — A collection of pre-designed
•
processor settings optimized for a specific type of input and output devices, such as
microphones and speakers. Flexible Building Blocks are available on each input strip
and allow system designers to fully customize and save their own Building Blocks,
further streamlining audio system design and integration.
•
Live and Emulate operation modes with configuration file saving — Live mode
allows integrators to connect to the XMP 240 and make live parameter adjustments
while hearing or metering them in real-time. This avoids the need to compile and upload
a configuration file to the DSP. Emulate mode allows settings to be configured offline,
then uploaded to the XMP 240. Additionally, current settings on a XMP 240 can be
backed up to a configuration file for archiving.
Group masters — The XMP 240 provides the capability to consolidate gain or mute
•
control throughout the system. Gain or mute controls can be selected and added
to a group master, which can then be controlled by a single master fader or mute
control. Loudness filters can also be added to a group master, which enables the
loudness curve to track with the program volume control. Bass and Treble filters can
be configured in a group master to provide boost and cut as user controls. Additionally,
Meters can be added to a group, providing a control to enable and disable multiple
meters at once. Each group master can have up to 128 members, and up to 64 group
masters can be created.
