DYNACORD

2 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the DYNACORD DSP 600 Digital Signal Processor. The DSP 600 Digital System Processor is a
universal two-input, six-output digital signal processor with the flexibility of configuration to handle a multitude of audio
system needs and applications; installed sound, house of worship, convention & meeting facilities, concert touring, club,
portable sound reinforcement and more.
CAUTION: To achieve optimum performance and guard against damage to the processor, your sound system or
yourself, please read, understand and follow all of the directions contained in this Owner's Manual.
Failure to do so may result in improper performance, loss or injury.

2.1 DSP 600 Features

The internal signal processing structure can be configured as 2-way stereo + full-range, 3-way stereo, 4-way mono + full-
range, 5-way mono + full range, 3-way stereo with a mono sub + full-range, 4-way stereo with mono sub and low frequen-
cy and finally as a freely assignable 2 x 6 matrix router.
The DSP 600 replaces entire racks of signal processors previously needed to properly configure and control sound re-
inforcement systems with a single Dual-Core DSP processor. The substantial advantages of the DSP 600 over discrete
signal processing racks include:
• 24-bit, 48 kHz digital signal path
• No patch cables to fail or add noise
• Optimal gain structure throughout all stages of signal processing; no gain matching from processor to processor
• Recallable factory and user presets; instant system reconfiguration for differing applications and performances
• Easy, intuitive operation and editing with a PC and IRIS-Net
FIR-TUNE
The DSP 600 includes Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters at each output for loudspeaker linearization. Using FIR filters
has the following advantages, compared to using IIR filters (e.g. Bessel, Butterworth,...).:
• extremely linear frequency response
• very high stop-band attenuation
• linear phase systems
To sum up, FIR-TUNE allows the linearization of frequency and phase of your DYNACORD loudspeakers. Activating FIR-
TUNE is as easy as loading a FIR Speaker Setting in the output channel of the DSP 600. The IRIS-Net software is used
for loading Speaker Settings, and lots of DYNACORD FIR Speaker Settings are included. Please refer to the documenta-
tion of IRIS-Net for more details about using Speaker Settings.
