The Home Page
The Home Page presents an overview of the configuration of the device. It indicates the user-­‐define
Device Name at the top, and shows the four
Drive Modules . In each Drive Module the top line shows
the Input DSP channel (‘A’, ‘B’ etc), and the name the user has given to this channel. The bottom
line shows the physical input number, and a list of the outputs which are routed from the Drive
Module.
Drive Modules
The DNA Pro uses Drive Modules to represent loudspeaker sub-­‐systems. Drive modules result in a
less processor-­‐centric and more speaker-­‐orientated system design. A drive module is defined as the
processing provided by one Input DSP, and a number of outputs, which are associated with one-­‐
another by means of routing. For example, if Input DSP B is routed to outputs 3 and 4, then this is a
2-­‐way Drive Module; input DSP B forming the ‘master’ control, and output DSP 3 and 4 providing the
driver-­‐related control. The Input DSP parameters then control the Drive Module (and thus the
speaker sub-­‐system). The Drive Module control panel in the PodWare application is then used for
control and monitoring of this sub-­‐system.
Drive Module Presets
Presets do not change the settings device-­‐wide. Rather, recalling a Module Preset creates a Drive
Module by ‘consuming’ a number of consecutive outputs and setting up routing between the Input
the preset was recalled on and those outputs. The parameters in that Drive Module are then set
according to the parameters in the components in the Module Preset.
Note however, that modules with non-­‐consecutive outputs can be created by manually manipulating
the routing, and then recalling
Component Presets to the individual outputs. The resulting system
can then be stored in a Snapshot . Such a Module cannot be saved in a Module Preset.
Note: When a Module Preset Recall consumes outputs to construct a module, it treats a pair of
Bridged outputs as a single channel, so recalling a 2-­‐way Module Preset will consume 3 output
channels if a Bridged pair is encountered. See
Bridge Mode
Note: DSP inputs are not the same as physical inputs. The DNA Pro has four audio inputs and four
DSP inputs. This is a matrix mixing system where any physical inputs, be they analogue, AES3 or
networked audio feeds, can drive any number of DSP inputs.
