Protea 24.24M Matrix Processor
Features and Specs
November 1, 2004
The Protea 24.24M Matrix Processor uses modular expansion cards to provide up to twenty-four channels
of audio matrixing and processing. The base unit offers a four-input four-output confi guration. Each
input and output expansion card has an individual DSP processor allowing you to expand the base unit’s
total inputs or outputs four channels at a time. These cards are easily installed. Matrixing allows you to
route any input to any output and control individual levels once they have been assigned. Fixed path
architecture and extensive processing power per channel will reduce the amount of time it takes to set up
your system.
Input channel processing blocks include Mic Preamp with Phantom Power, Gain, Delay, 15 EQ Filters, Gate,
Autoleveler and Ducker. Output channel processing blocks consist of a Cross Point Mixer, HPF/LPF, Delay,
15 EQ Filters, Gain and Limiter. The cross point mixer in the output section allows you to route any input
to any output at any level and mute any input at any output without affecting the true input confi guration.
The HPF/LPF block offers Bessel, Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley fi lters with 12, 18, 24 and 48dB octave
slopes.
Euroblock connectors for audio, preset recall, dc remote level control and data in/out connections are on
the rear panel. Standard 9-pin RS-232 data connectors are located on the front and rear panel to allow all
functions to be controlled either by a PC or a dedicated control system.
