Example Signal Chains
1. Source -> Signal processing -> Conversion -> Amplifier -> Loudspeakers. (Recommended.)
The computer outputs to an Avid® MTRX Studio, which handles room calibration. The MTRX studio
outputs balanaced audio to the LEA® amplfier. The LEA® amplifier processes speaker tuning and
outputs to the speakers.
2. signal processing in computer -> Dante
®
-> Amplifier -> Loudspeakers.
The computer handles room calibration in software with a program like Sonarworks® SoundID. The
computer uses Dante Virtual Soundcard® as the output to a Dante®-capable LEA® amplifier. The
LEA® amplifier processes speaker tuning and outputs to the speakers.
3. signal proc loudspeaker processing in computer -> Conversion -> Amplifier ->
Loudspeakers.
The computer handles room calibration in software with a program like Sonarworks® SoundID. The
computer also handles loudspeaker tuning with a separate EQ processing program. The computer
outputs to an I/O device like an Apogee® Symphony I/O. The amplifier only processes voltage limiting
functions and outputs to the speakers.
