Routing Options and Processing Blocks
Due to the completely new DSP platform, the routing possibilities within the 5 Series have been made completely
flexible, with a matrix available allowing any combination of inputs to be routed to any output. The additional DSP power
has permitted the inclusion of more processing blocks, even considering the extra inputs and outputs, and the doubling of
sample rate.
To reduce set-up time and aid usability, several standard configurations are available as described in a later section.
This section will outline the processing blocks available in relation to the signal path, and explain the various options for
routing, including the “Free Assign” mode, which opens up completely flexible channel routing, and “Matrix” mode which
also adds gain controls for mixing capabilities.
Input Channel Makeup
The diagram below shows the processing available on each of the four input channels, before routing to the matrix.
Output Channel Makeup
The diagram below shows the processing available on each of the eight output channels, after routing from the
matrix/mixer.
Preset Routing Configurations: DP548
In addition to the ability to assign any combination of inputs to any output, a number of preset configurations are provided,
for use when designing a crossover from scratch. These have the advantage of suggested settings for the high and low pass
filters to useful basic starting points, to filter the different outputs as appropriate for the chosen configuration. These may,
of course, be freely modified afterwards should they not suit the requirements exactly.
The diagrams on the following pages show the connections made between inputs and outputs, and the suggested values
chosen for the high and low pass filters.
