The use of the DSP-3VS digital processor is

highly recommended when running the AERO-48
sound system, and the use of the DSP-1Sub when
running the AERO-218Sub. Whenever another
loudspeaker management system is going to be used,
it should be configured with the parameters provided
by the manufacturer. Not doing so may damage the
system´s speaker components and affect the sound
quality.

The DSP-3VS digital processor is a three-

way crossover with gain controls that offer +/- 6dB
variation per way. The processor has two inputs and
six outputs with level indication and muting for each
of the outputs. The digital processor includes fourth
order filters and parametric equalizers. The user
adjustable limiters are accessible from the front panel.

The DSP-3VS includes 10 presets that can

be selected from the front panel. Each preset memory
recalls specific operating parameters for a specific
DAS speaker systems. The selected program is visible
on the LCD screen located on the front panel.

In this example we are going to feed the

highs of an AERO-48 with one amplifier channel. Total
impedance of 4 M-10N high frequency drivers, as
wired in the AERO48, is 8 Ohms. The maximum rms
power to be delivered to the highs, or Pd, should be
700W (700/4=175W per driver).

Important Notice: The programs stored in

the memories of the DSP-3VS have been designed to
provide optimum performance and balance between
the different ways. In order to maintain this balance,
equal gain amplifiers should be used.

4.2 LIMITER SETTINGS

4.1 DSP-3VS INSTRUCTIONS

To select a program, turn the rotary mini-DIP

switch on the front panel labelled “Presets”. The name
of the recalled preset will appear on the LCD screen.
The first time the DSP-3VS is connected, the number 1
program for the AERO-48 system will appear on the
front panel screen.

To select the limit levels for each of the

ways, turn the rotary mini-DIP switches on the front
panel labelled “Limiters”. The limit level expressed in
Vrms and dBu appears on the front panel screen.

The “Settings” button allows the user to

check the saved limit levels. The limit levels appear on
the screen and after 5 seconds, the preset program
returns to the screen.

The limit levels to be entered should be equal

to or lower than the sensitivity of the amplifiers used.
Amplifier manuals provide the sensitivity at 8 Ohms
and 4 Ohms. Take into account the load impedance at
which the amplifiers will be working when adjusting
the limit levels.

When using amplifiers with a greater output

power than that recommended by the speaker
manufacturer, the limit levels should be adjusted so
not to exceed the power capabilities of the speakers.

The following formulas can be used to establish the
limiter voltage:
