Introduction and Key Features
Introduction
The Danley Sound Labs DNA SC48 Advanced System Controller represents current state-of-the-art
technology. Taking advantage of the latest advances in analog to digital conversion and digital signal
processing technologies the unit achieves performance levels higher than previous devices. Below is
a list of key features, followed by some information on the major advancements of the SC48 feature
set.
Key Features
- Danley Sound Labs minimal signal path design
- 96kHz sampling frequency provides for a nominally flat response beyond 40kHz.
- Three rotary encoders, illuminated buttons and graphical display provide a rapid, intuitive,
and user-friendly control interface
- High speed capable and flexible Ethernet communications that supports DHCP, static-IP and
auto-IP and direct connection to a computer without the need for a router or a switch
- Class leading sonic performance achieved by the use of state of the art converters, a 4
th
Generation Analog Devices Sharc DSP and highly advanced DSP algorithms
- Powerful Drive Module concept, abstraction from device centric to loudspeaker based
control
- Innovative Component Presets to allow individual outputs to be used for selected drivers of
a loudspeaker system
- Twelve layers of Parameter Overlays for trouble-free Grouping
- Unique VX limiter providing dynamic control for passive 2-way enclosures
- Unique LIR linear phase crossover shapes giving FIR-like performance without the drawbacks
- Linear phase HF system EQ profiling which provides perfect integration between enclosures
- Innovative excursion control limiter with sliding High Pass Filter; limits only the damaging
low frequencies
- Transducer thermal modelling provides regulation limiters, addressing long term overload
- Overshoot limiter governs amplitude of transient signals retaining average power whilst
constraining peak energy
- Dante and AES 67 compliant audio networking with AVB upgrade path
- AES3 inputs and outputs, switchable in pairs
- High p
erformance ‘universal mains’ switch mode power supply
, designed in-house
Drive Modules
The DNA SC48 processor has a new way of ordering and grouping channels in order to give a more
loudspeaker-based approach to controlling, designing and recalling loudspeaker configurations;
these are called Drive Modules. A Drive Module is the Processing provided by one Input DSP Block,
and a number of Output DSP Blocks, which are associated with one-another by means of routing. For
example, if Input DSP Block B is routed to Outputs 3 and 4, then this is a 2-way Drive Module with
Input DSP Block B forming the ‘Master’ control, and Output DSP Blocks 3 and 4 providing the driver
-
related control. Overall, this forms the processing typically for one loudspeaker sub-system. The
System Engineer Drive Module control panel for this sub-system may then be used for control and
monitoring of the associated loudspeaker.
