5.1 DSP Algorithm Library
Group Name Module Name Description
AEC
Acoustic Echo Cancellation
(AEC)
Proprietary AEC algorithm offers
24 channels of AEC that can be freely
assigned wherever needed in your
system design.
Mixers
Auto Mixer
Automatically adjusts mixer gain for mixer
output and direct output.
Standard Mixer
Adjusts mixer input and output
level independently.
Matrix Mixer Assigns inputs to one or more outputs.
Matrix Mixer Delay Matrix Mixer with delay.
Auto Mixer Combiner
Reduces the background noise and risk
of feedback in multiple microphone
applications.
Room Combiner
Enhances the capabilities of zone routing
where the zones are configurable.
Equalisers
Parametric
Allows precise EQ shaping by using
frequency filters with adjustable center
frequency and width.
Graphic
Adjusts EQ with filters on fixed
frequency bands.
Feedback
suppressors
Automatically eliminates feedback by
monitoring the signal and deploying notch
filters when feedback has been detected.
Crossovers
2 Way Crossover Splits audio signals by frequency for
separate processing. Module splits
the signal at 2, 3 or 4 adjustable
frequency points.
3 Way Crossover
4 Way Crossover
Crossover Filters
Butterworth Low/High Pass
Includes an adjustable filter slope that
can be set to 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 or
48 dB per octave.
Linkwitz-Riley Low/High Pass
Includes an adjustable filter slope that can
be set to 12, 24, 36 or 48 dB per octave.
Low/High Shelf Filter
Offers adjustable gain from -27 dB
to +9 dB.
All Pass Filter
Module affects signal phase only, and the
module can be used to compensate for
phase anomalies.
Dynamics
Leveler
Automatically adjusts gain based on long-
term signal averaging.
Comp/Limiter
Automatically adjusts gain based on
short-term signal dynamics.
Ducker
Module has two inputs, one input for the
primary signal, the other input for the
triggering signal. When the triggering
signal reaches threshold, the module
reduces or “ducks” the gain of the
primary signal.
Noise Gate
Automatically mutes until the
gate is activated and opened by an
incoming signal.
Ambient Noise Compensator
Automatically adjusts volume in response
to changing background noise levels.
External mics are used to monitor ambient
background noise.
5. Operation
The DM8500 DSP is equipped with comprehensive library of processing modules that can be deployed and configured remotely by using the DM8500’s PC software.
The user can build the entire processing structure and signal routing using the remote software, and then compile and send to the DM8500 DSP.
Group Name Module Name Description
Routers
Routers
Module allows each input to be assigned
to multiple outputs via In/Out. Each
output allows only one assigned input
at a time.
Source Selection
Selects a single input from
multiple input sources.
Delay Module is used to delay an audio signal.
Controls
Level Control Adjusts an audio signals level.
Invert
Reversed the polarity (phase) of an audio
signal by 180°.
Mute Reduces an audio signal’s level to zero.
Preset
Recalls system parameters at either a
global or local level.
Remote Preset
Interfaces with external devices to control
settings.
Logic Gates Processor
Interprets and responds to
logic signal events.
Logic Delay Adjusts logic output time.
Meters
Signal Present Meter Indicates signal presence.
Peak Meter Indicates peak signal level.
RMS Meter Indicates average signal level.
Logic Meter Indicates presence of logic trigger voltage.
Generators
Tone Generator Generates a single-frequency signal.
Pink Noise Generator
Generates broad frequency noise shaped
to the Pink Noise standard.
White Noise Generator
Generates broad frequency noise with
even spectral density.
