Protea™ System Processors Architect & Engineering Specs Protea System Processor (3.6) The system processor shall consist of three inputs and six outputs. It shall utilize 48-bit double-precision fixed-point DSP filtering with 24 bit, 48kHz, 128x oversampling delta-sigma A/D and D/A converters. Digital processing includes Gain, Parametric EQ, Shelving Filters, Time Delay, Crossover Functions, Compression, Limiting, and Matrix Routing. All inputs and outputs are RFI-protected precision balanced on XLR connectors. The processor shall have a front panel interface that allows quick access to all control parameters by offering dedicated function buttons, eliminating the need for hidden sub-menus. The front panel shall have a large white-backlit LCD text display for easy viewing. Front panel LED meter bars shall also be provided on all inputs and outputs. A USB port shall be provided on the front and rear panels for even faster set-ups and stronger visualization of input/output routing, EQ, and filter curves using freely available control software. The back panel shall also provide an RS-232 data port for control and monitoring. The digital processor shall be capable of storing up to 30 preset file “snapshots”. It shall include four security modes; Off, Preset Lock, Parameter Lock, and Full Lockout. When connected to a PC via the USB port, security settings made on the unit are read and used within the software security section. The DSP processor shall mount in a standard 19” rack using 1 space (1.75” high). The system processor shall be an Ashly model Protea 3.6SP Protea System Processor (4.8) The system processor shall consist of four inputs and eight outputs.
