1. Introduction
The NEDSP1962-PCB is a modular solution for noise reduction. It incorporates Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) technology to provide up to 40 dB of noise reduction and up to 65 dB of
heterodyne tone reduction. The module features an on-board power amplifier to allow it to
be easily incorporated into existing equipment, in line with the loudspeaker.
1.1 The NEDSP1962-PCB Module features:
Fully adaptable noise cancellation up to 40dB
Overall Gain control
Input level overload indicator
Virtually no distortion to speech signals
Easy to install
8 levels of Noise Reduction
Frequency Response (50 Hz to 5 kHz)
Up to 7.5 Watts output (4Ω)
Noise Reduction can be preset or remotely set during operation
10 to 18 Volts DC supply range
Wide range of connection possibilities
Mounting Holes
Audio bypassed when power disconnected or the module is placed in its Off state.
Small Size 70.6 mm x 50.1 mm
1.2 Limitations
This module is designed to pass speech. Other signals such as data, music and morse (CW)
will pass through to some degree depending on the filter level setting, but the integrity of
these signals cannot be guaranteed.
This module is designed to be driven from a High-Level signal source capable of operating
into a load of 62Ω impedance.
Important Note: The Audio Output Amplifier is 'Class D' and therefore neither of the output
wires should have any connection to ground, they should only be connected to a speaker or
a fully isolated socket for headphones.
1.3 Module connection and mounting
Connections to the module are made via connection pads down either side of the PCB.
These pads are in 0.1" (2.54 mm) pitch connector spacings, which allows the use of standard
pin headers, PCB connectors or direct wiring. The connector positioning has been made
such that the module may be 'Plugged' into a mother board as part of a larger system.
It is recommended that the module is securely fitted using the 4 off M3 securing holes
provided, making sure that the module is stood at least 3 mm off any surface underneath it.
See section 6 for the module physical dimensions, connector positions and fixing
information.

  • Page 6 Connections NOTES: 1. Please make sure that Jumpers JP1 and JP2 are only soldered across when a specific mode is required. 2. While the Audio Input is referenced to ground, the audio output is balanced. It is therefore imperative that the Speaker (-) connection is not grounded at all. 3.
  • Page 7 Setting the Audio Level The output ‘Level’ control, VR2, provides adjustment of the overall gain of the module. This will be pre-set at the factory to approximately 1, but you may feel that you want a little more gain and hence more output volume. To adjust the level control, make sure the Noise Reduction DSP is switched off by grounding Pins 1 and 5 of PL7.

  • Page 12 Noise Reduction On/Off The module has the provision for remotely enabling and disabling the Noise Reduction, while in operation. The default setting for the module is Noise Reduction On. This may be switched by using the NR Inhibit PL7 Pin 1. To Inhibit the Noise Reduction, connect this pin to Ground (PL7- Pin 5), to Enable Noise Reduction leave this connection unconnected.
  • Page 13 Figure 8. Basic setting using a BCD switch with complementary logic The module can be controlled with a microcontroller. It is not necessary to drive the control pins with the controller as the NEDSP has internal pull-up resistors. Therefore, the microcontroller would operate pulling Low or in a High impedance state.
  • Page 14 Note: It should be remembered that the NEDSP-1962 provides its own +5 Volt Pull-up voltage, so that the control system only needs to be able to pull the lines Low in order to provide effective control. The transistors allow interfacing with higher or lower Logic control voltages.
