Operating Manual -4048A digital signal processor 1. INTRODUCTION Your new 4048A is a flexible four input/eight output digital signal processor capable of precise control of a broad range of audio functions. Because it has no user controls, it is ideal for applications where real-time changes are unlikely or when tamper-proof security is required. All adjustments are made using Altec Lansing Maestro™ soft- ware for Windows™. The 4048A utilizes state of the art DSP technologies, beginning wit

Each input channel's three color Sig LED indicates input signal level of -20dB (green), 0dB (amber), and +20dB clip (red) respectively. Note that the Sig LEDs detect actual signal at the input connections, before any gain adjustments are made within the 4048A. The red input mute LED becomes lit when

A flat blade screwdriver is required to connect a stripped wire lead to the loose connector, which is then inserted into the rear panel Euroblock receptacle. It is important that both (+) and (-) inputs are properly terminated or signal loss and noise may result. In other words, if an

There may be times, however, where audio system adjustments must be made in response to real time acoustic changes, such as room size. For these types of changes, the 4048A offers the ability to recall up to eight different presets using contact closures. Contact closures are nothing more than external,

Input channels have eight selectable EQ filters, while output chan- nels have six selectable EQ filters. On all inputs and outputs, each EQ filter is selectable between parametric (PEQ), 1st order Low Shelf (LS1), 2nd order Low Shelf (LS2), 1st order High Shelf (HS1), 2nd o

All shelving filters have a boost/cut range of +/-15dB. Low shelving filters have a frequency range from 19.7Hz through 2kHz, and the high shelving filters range from 3.886kHz through 21.9kHz.

Operating Manual-4048A digital signal processor Butterworth Butterworth filters individually are always -3dB at the displayed crossover frequency and are used because they have a "maximally flat" passband and sharpest transition to the stopband. When a Butterworth HPF and LPF of the same crossover frequency are summed, the combined response is always +3dB. With 12dB per octave Butterworth crossover filters, one of the outputs must be inverted or else the combined response will result in a larg

Operating Manual-4048A digital signal processor Attack and Release settings adjust the time it takes the limiter to engage and then disengage when the signal increases above threshold and then subsequently falls back below threshold. Attack time is adjustable from 0.5ms/dB through 50ms/dB, while release time ranges from 10ms/dB through 1s/dB. A very fast attack time can sound unnatu- ral, while a very long attack time can miss some of the initial transient. Similarly, a very short release tim
