MECHANICAL DATA

SPACE REQUIRED
1U (WDH: 48.3 cm x 27.4 cm x 4.37 cm / 19in x 10.8 in x 1.72 in). Depth does not include connector allowance.  Allow at least 1 inch additional clearance for rear panel connections. Additional depth may be required depending upon your specific wiring and connections.

ELECTRICAL
100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 60 watts maximum. No line voltage switching required.

VENTILATION
Maximum recommended ambient operating temperature is 30 C / 86 F. Fan on equipment right pulls hot air out of unit. Air intake at equipment left. Ensure that the left and right equipment sides are unobstructed (5.08 cm, 2 in minimum clearance). The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items
such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

WEIGHT

Architects & Engineers Specifications

The series of four DSP audio matrix devices shall include four different configurations of balanced mic/line inputs and balanced line outputs on plug-in barrier-strip connectors. These configurations shall be 12x4, 4x12, 8x8, and 4x4. Each shall be offered with CobraNet compatibility. Additionally each device shall include two analog control inputs, one open collector output, and one relay output on plug-in barrier-strip connectors, ARC interconnect on one RJ-45 connector, ARC Audio on one plug-in barrier strip connector, and 24 VDC backup power on one 4-pin male XLR connector. The devices shall include one RJ-45 connector for CobraNet network audio. Audio inputs and outputs shall be analog, with internal 24-bit A/D & D/A converters operating at a sample rate of 48 kHz. All internal processing shall be digital (DSP). Software shall be provided for creating/ connecting DSP system components within each hardware device. Available system components shall include (but not be limited to) various forms of: mixers, equalizers, filters, crossovers, dynamics/gain controls, routers, delays, remote controls, meters, generators, onboard logic, and diagnostics. Ethernet or serial communications shall be utilized for software control and configuration. After initial programming, processors may be controlled via dedicated software screens, third-party RS-232 control systems, and/or optional analog or RS-485 remote control devices. A designer software application shall operate on a Windows computer, with network card installed, running Windows® 98/2000/XP. The DSP series shall be CE marked, CSA tested to UL 60065.
