CDi DriveCore Series Operation Manual
Using HiQnet Audio Architect
Configuring Inputs & Outputs in Audio Architect
Assigning Input Sources in Audio Architect
All channels of the CDi DriveCore signal processing share a single Input Selector panel (shown in
Figure 35
). From this panel, you can select the audio signal that will be routed to each amplifier
channel and adjust the levels entering each channel's DSP chain.
The Input Selector panel can be accessed by clicking any of the
INPUT buttons from the Main CDi DriveCore Control panel (see
Figure 34
).
1� Levels, Meters, & Clip
Indicators
The level faders are used to adjust
signal levels entering the DSP
chains from the various input
sources. The meters in this panel
display both peak and RMS levels
— the wider left meter shows RMS
level and the right meter shows
peak level for each channel. The
clip indicators light to indicate
clipping at the signal point just
before the loudspeaker management
processing (delays, EQ, crossover,
etc.).
2� Input Selector Dropdown
Menus
From these dropdown menus, input channel assignments can be selected for each channel. Analog inputs are available for selection in all CDi
DriveCore amp models. Mono summed analog options are also available. Additional BLU link channel options are available in BLU link CDi
DriveCore amp models. When assigning BLU link channels, a second dropdown menu will appear, where the desired BLU link channel can be
selected, as shown in
Figure 35
. These BLU link channel assignment dropdown menus provide an easier method for assigning BLU link channels,
however, note that BLU link channels can also be assigned from the BLU link Input Channel Assignment window (see
Figure 37
).
3� Input Configuration and Output Configuration Buttons
These buttons are only available in the BLU link CDi DriveCore models. Clicking the Input Configuration button opens the Input Configuration
panel, where input levels and analog gain structure can be adjusted (see
"Configuring Inputs" on page 34
for more information). Clicking
the Output Configuration button opens the BLU link Output Configuration panel, where the amplifier's BLU link output channels can be configured
(see
"Configuring BLU link Outputs" on page 35
for more information).
