2. INTRODUCTION
ALMA26 DIGITAL PROCESSOR FOR SPEAKER SYSTEMS
The ALMA26 is a digital signal processor featuring 2 audio inputs and 6 audio outputs, USB
connectivity and two ports of volume remote control (0-10VDC).
Main features
2 audio inputs and 6 audio outputs, with XLR connectors
DSP with 24-bit quantization and 48kHz sampling frequency
2x20 characters LCD display in front panel
4 setup keys + digital rotary encoder to navigate in the menus and set the parameters
1 LED backlit key (MUTE function) for each input and each output (8 in total)
Level meters for each input and each output
2 REMOTE ports to control the volume of the inputs or outputs (0-10VDC) from external devices,
such as WPm series panels
USB interface and compatibility with EclerCOMM software (free download from
http://www.ecler.com/en/products/software.html
)
Processing:
o
Controls of gain, phase, MUTE, etc., per input and output
o
4 pEQ (parametric filters) per input/8 pEQ per output
o
Butterworth, Bessel or Linkwitz-Riley crossovers on the outputs (up to 48 dB/oct)
o
Delays on the inputs and outputs
o
Compressor/limiter on the outputs (with make-up gain)
o
3 LINK groups (linking output channels)
System templates for the creation of user setups:
o
T1:
3 x 1 stereo way
o
T2:
2 stereo ways + 1 stereo way
o
T3:
3 stereo ways
o
T4:
4 mono ways + 2 mono auxiliaries
o
T5:
5 mono ways + 1 mono auxiliary
o
T6:
6 mono outputs
Each system template automatically sets the operating and control mode of the channels and
their settings, including the LINK group they pertain to. Example: in a stereo setup, the settings
applied to a left channel output will be automatically applied to the output which is assigned to the
right channel, and vice versa (same LINK group)
User presets: 20
Editing names (labels) of inputs, outputs, presets and device
Two front panel lock modes with password protection (full lock or excluding MUTE keys).
