9.5 Output processing 

The processing available for each audio output channel is the following: 

1

 

Volume, Mute, polarity inversion and delay

 (up to 1 second, displayed in units of 

time or distance) controls. Also included are 2 level meters ("pre-processing" and 
"post-processing") 

for 

the 

output 

channel. 

With SELECT, choose the signal source for each output channel, between NONE, 
IN1,  IN2,  IN1+IN2  (mono  mix  from  a  stereo  source)  or  GEN  (internal  signal 
generator). 

AMP  GAIN  allows  you  to  set  the  gain  of  the  amplifier  that  will  work  with  the 
ALMA24/ALMAcard device. This parameter is critical for the compressor/limiter to 
process correctly the signal, in order not to exceed a certain level and/or to protect 
the installation speaker systems. 

2

 

CROSSOVER, or low-pass and high-pass filters

 to define a frequency range to 

work on amongst the entire audible spectrum. Available filter types are: 

 

BYPASS (filter not activated) 

 

BESSEL 12, 18, 24 or 48 dB/oct 

 

BUTTERWORTH 6, 12, 18, 24 or 48 dB/oct 

 

LINKWITZ-RILEY 12, 24 or 48 dB/octave 

3

 

PARAMETRIC  EQ

,  or  parametric  equalization  filters  to  enhance  or  attenuate 

different frequency ranges of the signal. 8 filters of this type are available for each 
output, and each one of them can have the following setting: 

 

BYPASS (filter not activated) 

 

Parametric  EQ  (controls  for  frequency,  Q  or  filter  width  and  gain  or 
attenuation of the affected band) 

 

HIGH SHELF, 6 or 12 dB/octave 

 

LOW SHELF, 6 or 12 dB/octave
