Integrated DSP
The DSP100-2-CV combines amplification and digital signal processing in a single compact unit. Its DSP can be used to optimize the connected loudspeakers and address acoustic challenges within individual zones.
Key DSP functions include:
- Cross-point mixer
- Equalization (EQ)
- Filters
- Limiters
- Signal routing
- Level optimization
- Zone-specific audio processing
This makes the amplifier particularly useful where different rooms or zones require individual audio settings.
Two-Zone Audio Solution
With two 100W output channels, the DSP100-2-CV can power two separate 70V/100V audio zones. Each zone can be configured and optimized according to its speaker arrangement and acoustic requirements.
For example:
Zone 1: Conference Room
Zone 2: Reception / Lobby
This makes it a practical solution for commercial facilities that need independent audio distribution without installing separate amplifiers for every zone.
USB Configuration
The integrated USB programming interface simplifies amplifier setup. Installers can configure the DSP quickly and reproduce the same settings across multiple amplifiers, which is especially useful for larger commercial installations.
Dante™ & Network Audio
The amplifier supports two Dante™ input channels through the optional network input configuration. Dante allows compatible audio sources to be transported over an Ethernet network, simplifying audio distribution in larger AV installations.
Remote Control & Integration
The DSP100-2-CV provides multiple control options:
- 0–10VDC remote volume control
- External contact-closure mute
- USB programming
- Trim controls
This allows the amplifier to integrate with a variety of commercial AV control systems.
Key Benefits
Two-Channel Architecture: Provides 100W per channel for two independent 70V/100V zones.
Built-In DSP: Eliminates the need for separate signal-processing hardware in many installations.
Professional Audio Quality: A >100dB signal-to-noise ratio and <0.1% THD+N provide clean, reliable audio performance.
Quiet Operation: Fanless convection cooling makes it suitable for conference rooms, classrooms, offices, and other noise-sensitive environments.
Compact Design: The 1/2-rack enclosure provides substantial amplification and DSP capability in a small footprint.
Easy Configuration: USB programming enables fast setup and repeatable configurations across multiple installations.
