PARAMETER UNITS
This window allows selecting the unit used for temperature and the limiter threshold. Additionally the air temperature
can be entered.
The parameter Temp is used to calculate the speed of sound for converting delay times into distance. Use the < SELECT
> buttons to navigate to the Temp and Units parameters. Use the VALUE up/down buttons to choose between -4.0 °F to
+140.0 °F or -20 °C to +60 °C. The Units parameter lets the user choose between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the Limiter Threshold parameter. Use the VALUE up/down buttons to choose
dBu (DSP output) or Vpk (Amp output).
Sound travels at different speeds depending on the density of the surrounding air it is traveling through. Cold air is dens-
er than warm air thus, travels slower than it would if the air was warmer. Temperature can have a major influence with
greater distances, particularly with respect to widely separated speaker arrays surrounding the audience for example.
Temperatures might vary wildly between an indoor environment and an outdoor evening environment for example.
V = 331m/s + (0.6m/s/C) * T
The speed of sound at room temperature is 346 meters per second. At freezing temperatures sound travels at 331 me-
ters per second. V is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air. This formula finds the average speed of
sound for any given temperature (celcius). The speed of sound is also affected by other factors such as humidity and
air pressure.
M
ETERING
Users can set their VU metering preferences here.
Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the VU Mode parameter. Use the VALUE up/down buttons to choose between
Normal Fast, Peak Hold and Slow Decay. Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the VU Reference parameter. Use
the VALUE up/down buttons to choose between D/A Clip and Limiter Threshold.

4.2 Lock - Front Panel Access

A lockout mode has been provided for the installer to protect the system settings from being modified by a user. This
can be set from the front panel or from the GUI software. Following table shows the different protection levels of the
DSP 600.
Mode Description
GUI-Settable One or more parameters of the DSP 600 are locked via IRIS-Net and are not visible and/or editable via the front panel.
The buttons on the DSP 600 front panel are locked. The device can be configured via IRIS-Net only. Connecting the DSP 600 to the PC
Panel and USB Locked
is possible via Ethernet only, the USB port is locked.
The buttons on the DSP 600 front panel are locked. The device can be configured via IRIS-Net only. Connecting the DSP 600 to the PC
Panel Locked
is possible via Ethernet or USB.
Unlocked All parameters can be configured via the DSP 600 front panel or IRIS-Net.

wing groups are available:
• D: Parameters of the device
• A or B: Parameters of input A or B
• 1 to 6: Parameters of output 1 to 6
