1 INTRODUCTION

 

The  DPA  28X  is  a  complete  2  input  -  8  output  digital  loudspeaker  management  system 

designed  for  the  touring  or  fixed  sound  installation  markets.  The  absolute  latest  in 

available technology is utilized with 64-bit floating point processors and high performance 

24-bit  Analogue  Converters.  The  high-bit  DSP  prevents  noise  and  distortion  induced  by 

truncation  errors  of  the  commonly  used  24-bit  fixed-point  devices.  A  complete  set  of 

parameters  include  I/O  levels,  delay,  polarity,  8  bands  of  parametric  EQ  per  channel, 

multiple  crossover  selections,  compressor,  Limiter,  USB  and  Ethernet  port  connection. 

Precise frequency control is achieved with its 1 Hz resolution.  

 

The DPA - 28X can be controlled or configured in real time on the front panel using the 

previously  stored  presets  or  with  the  intuitive  PC  software  via  the  USB  or  Ethernet 

interface. The Ethernet port allows controlling the device from a long distance using just 

an Internet connection.
