The handle number corresponds to the filter number (also outlined in r ed). Clicking a handle or clicking the table row brings focus to [...]

High Pass The high pass filter allows frequencies below the specified fr equency to pass unattenuated. All frequencies below the cutof f ar e attenuated. The default cutoff is 100Hz. Figure 26. High Pass Filter Response Curve All frequencies lower than the specified fr equency (in this example,100 Hz) ar e attenuated leaving the upper frequency [...]

Low Pass The low pass filter is the opposite of the High Pass filter . All frequencies above the specified frequency ar e attenuated allowing lower fr equencies to pass. Figure 27. Low Pass Filter Response Curve Here, the fr equencies higher than the specified fr equency , 10 kHz, are attenuated leaving the lower frequency r esponse flat. DMP64 [...]

Bass and T reble Shelving Bass and treble shelving can be added to the filter . Also known as shelving or tone controls, the separate bass and tr eble filters pr ovide the ability to cut or boost gain linearly above or below a selected frequency , with the end-band shape giving the visual appearance of a shelf. Adding the filter automatically inser[...]

Parametric (Equalizer) The parametric filter is a frequency equalizer that of fers contr ol of all parameters, including amplitude (the amount of gain [boost], or gain reduction [cut] applied), center fr equency (frequency), and range of af fected fr equencies (Q) around the center fr equency . Up to five parametric filters can be placed in the fil[...]

By increasing the Q to 10.000, the center fr equency r emains the same. The markers show the bandwidth of the filter narrowed to between 900Hz and 1200Hz, or about 300Hz (see figure 30). Parametric filters can be used to notch out a very narr ow , or very wide range of frequencies using the Q setting. Figure 30. Parametric Filter at 1000 H[...]

The overall frequency r esponse is now shown as a solid r ed line with the filter in focus (located in row 3 in figur e 31) shown in the color of its table r ow . Figure 31. All Parametric Filters Active The parametric filter allows frequency selection accurate to 0.1Hz and either 6 or 12dB of slope. The 3dB down point remains constant r e[...]

Feedback Suppressor (FBS) The Feedback Suppressor is used in live situations when ther e is an indication of feedback during live operation. Dynamic filters automatically detect feedback on a live microphone channel, and engage a set of up to 5 fixed and 15 dynamic filters to counteract frequency peaks at the detected feedback fr equency . Up to 15[...]

FBS Settings The Settings tab enables selection of the feedback suppressor parameters. • For Composite View show: — The graph view is set by one of three buttons: • Only Dynamic FBS Filters • Only Fixed FBS Filters • Dynamic & Fixed FBS Filters (default) • Mode: Q — Adjusts the notch filter Q used by dynamic filters[...]

FBS Dynamic Filters This tab contains the fifteen dynamic filters, with a scroll bar to display filters hidden due to dialog box size. Dynamic filters are notch filters that ar e cut only , providing attenuation up to 30dB at the specified Q. The default Q is set in the Tools>Options menu, but can be changed on the settings tab prior to engag[...]

FBS Fixed Filters Fixed filters are notch filters with an adjustable center fr equency and Q, and up to 30dB of cut. The fixed filters are typically set by converting dynamic filters to fixed, however adjustments to filter parameters can be made manually from the Fixed Filters tab. Fixed Filters are inactive and the filter type is set to Unused [...]

Dynamics (DYN) A dynamics processor alters the dynamic range, the differ ence between the loudest to the quietest portions, of an audio signal. Each input channel provides two dynamics processor blocks that, when inserted, pr ovide one of four types; AGC, Compressor , Limiter , or a Noise Gate processor . T o insert a processor into an empty block,[...]

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) AGC adjusts the gain level of a signal based upon the input strength to achieve a mor e consistent volume. Below the set threshold, the signal is not af fected. Above the thr eshold, weaker signals are boosted up to the maximum gain setting to r each a user -defined target level. As the signal approaches the target leve[...]

Compressor The compressor r egulates signal level by r educing (compressing) the dynamic range of the input signal above a specified threshold. The input level to output level ratio determines the reduction in the dynamic range beyond the thr eshold setting. For example, with a ratio setting of 2:1, for every 2dB of input above the threshold, th[...]

Limiter The limiter restricts the input signal level by compr essing its dynamic range above a specified threshold. The limiter is most commonly used to pr event clipping, pr otecting a system against component or speaker damage. While the limiter is closely related to the compressor , it applies a much higher compression ratio of ∞:1 above the t[...]

Noise Gate The noise gate allows an input signal to pass only when it exceeds a specified threshold level. Above the threshold level, the signal passes unpr ocessed. Below the thr eshold the signal is attenuated at the rate set by the ratio adjustment. The typical setting of the noise gate threshold is just above any noise level in the envir onment[...]

Delay (DL Y) The delay processor , when inserted, provides a means to delay the audio signal. Audio delay syncs audio to video or can time-align speakers placed at differ ent distances fr om the listener . The DMP64 can set delay by either of two criteria: time or distance (feet or meters). The default units setting is time with a range of 0.0?[...]

Ducking (DUCK) Ducking provideds a means to duck, or lower , the level of one or more input signals when a specified source must take pr ecedence. The ducking processor block, when inserted, pr ovides a means to duck one or more mics and pr ogram material (ducking targets) when the pr ocessor detects a signal from the ducking sour ce. Ducking lasts[...]

Ducking Configuration Ducking is configured in a dialog box that opens when an active ducking pr ocessor block is double-clicked (see figure 37 on the pr evious page). a Current sour ce indicator Shows the input selected as the ducking source. Ducker settings af fect the input channel shown here. When a ducker dialog is opened for a channel, the cu[...]

Ducking Priority Multiple levels of ducking can be requir ed enabling an input sour ce to take precedence over all but one other input. In this example, inputs 2 through 6 ar e set to duck when Input #1 has a signal above the ducking threshold. Input#2 is set to duck inputs 5 and 6. Since Input #1 has previously been set to duck Input #2, Input [...]

T o set an additional ducking source: 1. Insert a ducking processor on the additional ducking sour ce. In this example, input #2 is the second ducking source, with input#1, as shown above, as the first source. NOTE: Since it was previously selected as a ducking target, Input#1 is not available as a target of input #2. 2. Open the ducking dial[...]

Pre-mixer Gain (GAIN) The post-input processing gain contr ol (also called the pr e-mixer gain) provides gain or attenuation post-pr ocessing gain block. It includes a mono long-throw fader with a – 100.0 to +12.0dB gain range, and a current level setting r eadout below the fader . Fader adjustments are in 1dB incr ements, while adjustments[...]

Line Output Channels There ar e four mono line output channels. Contr ols and processing blocks, identical for each output channel, are described in the following sections. Loudness (LOUD) The loudness processor , when inserted, applies a filter compensation curve to the signal in an inverse relationship to the output volume contr ol setting. The h[...]

Calibrating Loudness The user can fine-tune the amount of loudness compensation using the compensation adjustment slider and adjusting "by ear ," or by measuring SPL levels in a particular room, then using the slider to adjust the loudness filter relative to the SPL of the r oom and system gain structure. Before calibrating loudness, set [...]

3. Set the Calibrate slider to 0, the center point. Disengage the loudness Bypass . The result is a moderate enhancement to the pr ogram material, with mor e accentuated bass frequencies (below 500Hz), and mor e brightness in the high fr equencies that carry harmonic content (above 7kHz). Engage and disengage the Bypass switch in order to “A/B”[...]

V olume Control (VOL) Each output channel volume block provides a mono long-thr ow fader with a range of 0 to 100dB of attenuation, and a volume setting readout (indB) below the fader . V olume level is adjustable with the slider or by entering the desired level dir ectly into the volume setting readout in 0.1dB incr ements. Clicking the f[...]

Virtual Bus Returns There ar e four mono virtual bus r eturn inputs, fed by the virtual bus sends. Channel controls and pr ocessing blocks described in the sub-sections that follow ar e identical for each virtual bus return channel, A through D. The virtual bus is used when additional processing of an input signal is r equir ed. It is also useful t[...]

Primary Mix Matrix The DSP architectur e contains a primary mix matrix that connects the mic/line inputs and virtual bus returns to the line outputs. The DSP Configurator user interface provides control of the primary mix matrix, used to set mix levels fr om the post pr ocessing inputs and post processing virtual r eturns to each line output bus. E[...]

Mix-point Behavior: No mix information — A faint gray circle on the mix-point indicates it is muted (contains no mix information). Mix information — A solid teal-colored cir cle indicates the mix-point contains mix information (the mix-point is unmuted). Mouse-over — The cursor changes to a hand when a mouse-over occurs at a mix-point, whethe[...]

Clicking a mix-point brings focus to that mix-point. A circle appears ar ound the teal mix-point which remains transpar ent. Double-clicking a mix-point opens a configuration dialog box with the following components: • Mono Fader — Sets the signal level from the selected input to the output bus. Gain range is -35dB to +25dB. Fader beha[...]

Optimizing Audio Levels The DMP64 uses floating point DSP technology , processing data using a combination of 32- and 64-bit algorithms. The analog to digital converters (ADC) and digital to analog converters (DAC) sample at 48kHz with 24-bit resolution. With floating point DSP it is extremely difficult to clip the audio signal within the DSP[...]

About Setting Gain Structure There ar e two appr oaches the system designer can take in setting up gain structure, depending upon where output volume is to be contr olled. The output volume of the DMP64 can be controlled by either of the following two gain blocks (see figur e 58 on the previous page): • V olume ( e ) and • Pre-mixer ga[...]

Adjusting Pre-mixer Gain After setting input gain, add desired pr ocessors into the input signal chain (see figur e 58 on page 88). The pre-mixer gain contr ol ( b ) is used to compensate for level changes due to processing. Adding a compr essor generally r educes the signal level, while a filter can boost or cut the overall signal level. When chan[...]

Setting Mic/Line Input and Mix Levels In this example, the mic/line input 1 signal is sent to output 1 (see figure 58 on page 88). T o set the mic/line input and mix levels: 1. Connect a microphone to input #1. 2. Double-click the mix-point ( c ) for mic/line 1 to output 1 to open the dialog for that mix-point, then unmute the mix-point to place th[...]
