Second, digital vastly expands the signal
processing capabilities that would require racks
and racks of external analog equipment to
achieve with a “dumb” active speaker.
A pristine 24-bit/48kHz digital signal path
From the instant the analog signal enters the
B512DSP, the 24-bit digital processor takes over,
ensuring the highest possible signal integrity—
and we’re talking CLEAN. First, this internal
computer does chores like assigning frequencies
to the low and high frequency amplifiers far
more elegantly and with less distortion than
old analog crossovers ever could. Then it
compensates for the inevitable non-linearity in
transducer frequency response.
But much more than just selective EQ
enhancement, the engine in the B512DSP
analyzes the signal and intelligently applies
specific filters to actually improve the sound
quality depending on the bass content of the
music and how loud you have it turned up.
It’s like having a tiny sound guy inside each
enclosure (with all the best gear), monitoring the
input and output signals, dialing in the perfect
EQ and constantly making subtle adjustments to
the crossover, compressor/limiter and more.
This powerful 24-bit DSP circuitry takes all
the guesswork out of running the system so
you can concentrate on your performance.
All these intelligent processes work together
proactively behind-the-scenes, making the
B512DSP the best-sounding 12" loudspeaker
system on the market.
Slam the gate on noise
The B512DSP is ultra-quiet. But that can’t
be said of all of the sound sources you connect
to it either directly or through a mixer. Add
a noisy computer sound output, a couple of
microphones, a guitar with six stompboxes
chained to it, and your aunt’s antique
cassette player and you are going to hear…
HISSSSSSSSsssss.
Once again, the remarkable digital
processing inside the B512DSP comes
to the rescue. Turn up its Noise Gate
and hear background hiss disappear!
The internal computer is analyzing the
sound and selectively cutting out the hiss
without compromising the music!
Instant PA system
With just a single B512DSP
loudspeaker system and one or two
dynamic microphones, you can set
up an instant sound system. Connect
microphones directly to the B512DSP
via the built-in mixer section. Put the
B512DSP on a table-top or speaker stand,
and power up. It’s just that easy. And if
you need more coverage, you can chain
together as many as you like via the
convenient Line Out XLR connector.
Now when you need a small PA,
you can plug a microphone into the
B512DSP right out-of-the-box and start
the show. The rear panel of this speaker
features inputs and level controls for two
microphones or line-level sources such as
MP3 players, audio from a DVD deck or a
laptop computer.
There are also bass and treble master
tone controls and an adjustable Low
Cut filter to help eliminate annoying
breath pops and mic handling
noise. An additional filter, which we
call Contour allows you to select
Speech (for enhanced voice intelligibility),
or Music for the broader frequency range
required for high-fidelity reproduction
of music.
Put this all together and you have a
mixer. Only you get it free built into the
back of the B512DSP.
