The Zapco Digital Programming Network 

 

All Digital Reference amplifiers, and the ZAPCO DSP6-SL, stand-alone 

Digital Signal Processor incorporate Zapco’s exclusive Digital Programming 
Network™ (DPN). This network allows the user to program all amp functions 
using a DRC-SL or a PC. The amps DSP can then be programmed to 
control Gain, Volume, Crossover, Q-Bass, Equalization, and even Time 
Delay. More importantly, the system allows you to network all amps in your 
system so you can control up to 16 amplifiers from a single DRC-SL or, with 
a PC from a single window. 
 

While the DRC-SL provides functions never before available, its small 

size does limit the graphics of the network and it takes a while to make the 
settings through the menu system. To allow higher resolution graphics and 
to make the setting go much faster, we have also developed a program that 
lets you make all adjustments with a PC. Each Digital Control product has a 
USB interface. This allows you to plug a PC into any unit on the network and 
control the entire network.*
