Acoustic Technologies DSPB23
Graphical User Interface Software provides complete control of the
DSP System embedded within the QDC42.dsp Multi Channel Amplifier.
DSPB23 MAIN SCREEN
The DSPB23 digital signal processing system provides comprehensive
audio processing.
The PC based graphical user interface provides
a familiar programming environment for the installation professional.
The Main Screen allows access to each of the functional processing
blocks. A Menu Panel allows communication with the QDC42’s
hardware, disk based file operations and several ancillary functions.
The Main Screen allows the naming of the Channel’s Input and
Outputs and provides a text Comment Box suitable for documentation
purposes.
DSPB23 PARAMETRIC EQUALIZATION The DSPB23 provides
7x 2nd Order PEQ Filters / Channel with 13x filter topologies
available for each PEQ, selected from a drop down selector box. Available
filter types are:
Parametric
Constant Q
Parametric
Adaptive Q
Shelh
Low 6dB
Shelf
High 6dB
LP
Butterworth
HP Butterworth
Band
Pass

Filter adjustments are made
with value sliders, text boxes and scroll buttons. The
combined response of each channel’s equalization, both magnitude
and phase, is graphically displayed.
DSPB23 CROSSOVER The DSPB23 provides
2x 2nd Order Crossover Filters / Channel. The Crossover can
be configured to provide either a 2nd Order LPF / HPF Crossover,
or the filters can be combined to provide a single 4th Order
LP or HP Filter section. Available filter types are:
Butterworth
Linkwitz-Riley
Bessel
Butterworth
Crossover adjustments
are made with a drop down selector box, text boxes and scroll buttons. The
combined response of each channel’s Crossover, both magnitude
and phase, is graphically displayed.
DSPB23 OUTPUT GAIN CONTROLS The DSPB23 provides Gain Control,
Polarity Invert and Mute for each channel.
Channel Gain is variable over a 36dB range, adjustable in 0.1dB increments
via a value slider or text box.
Buttons are used to select the Polarity Invert and Channel Mute functions.
DSPB23 OUTPUT DELAY The DSPB23 provides
a continuously variable Delay time for each channel. The Delay time
is variable from 0.00mSecs to 3.40mSecs in 0.02mSec increments via
a value slider or text box.
Alternatively, the DSPB23 allows the relative distance between acoustic
centres to be entered. Clicking the [Auto Align] button computes
the required Delay to physically align the acoustic centres.
DSPB23 DYNAMICS PROCESSOR The DSPB23 provides
highly flexible Dynamics control by offering a Limiter or Compressor
for each output channel.
Adjustable parameters are:
Threshold
Knee
Compression
Ratio
Noise
Gate Level
Attack
(dB/Sec)
Release
(dB/Sec)
Hold
Time (mSecs)
A graphic display of the
Dynamics transfer function is shown.
DSPB23 FINAL RESPONSE The Final Response Panel
graphically displays the combined response of the entire DSPB23 Preset. Both
magnitude and phase response plots for each channel are provided.
In addition the DSPB23 Software allows the direct import of the SPL
and Phase response of each of the loudspeaker system’s components,
allowing the response of the entire processing, amplifier and loudspeaker
system to be accurately modelled.
