2. INTRODUCTION
ALMA26 DIGITAL PROCESSOR FOR SPEAKER SYSTEMS
The ALMA26 is a digital signal processor featuring 2 audio inputs and 6 audio outputs, USB
connectivity and two ports of volume remote control (0-10VDC).
Main features
 2 audio inputs and 6 audio outputs, with XLR connectors
 DSP with 24-bit quantization and 48kHz sampling frequency
 2x20 characters LCD display in front panel
 4 setup keys + digital rotary encoder to navigate in the menus and set the parameters
 1 LED backlit key (MUTE function) for each input and each output (8 in total)
 Level meters for each input and each output
 2 REMOTE ports to control the volume of the inputs or outputs (0-10VDC) from external devices,
such as WPm series panels
 USB interface and compatibility with EclerCOMM software (free download from
http://www.ecler.com/en/products/software.html )
 Processing:
o Controls of gain, phase, MUTE, etc., per input and output
o 4 pEQ (parametric filters) per input/8 pEQ per output
o Butterworth, Bessel or Linkwitz-Riley crossovers on the outputs (up to 48 dB/oct)
o Delays on the inputs and outputs
o Compressor/limiter on the outputs (with make-up gain)
o 3 LINK groups (linking output channels)
 System templates for the creation of user setups:
o T1: 3 x 1 stereo way
o T2: 2 stereo ways + 1 stereo way
o T3: 3 stereo ways
o T4: 4 mono ways + 2 mono auxiliaries
o T5: 5 mono ways + 1 mono auxiliary
o T6: 6 mono outputs
 Each system template automatically sets the operating and control mode of the channels and
their settings, including the LINK group they pertain to. Example: in a stereo setup, the settings
applied to a left channel output will be automatically applied to the output which is assigned to the
right channel, and vice versa (same LINK group)
 User presets: 20
 Editing names (labels) of inputs, outputs, presets and device
 Two front panel lock modes with password protection (full lock or excluding MUTE keys).
