Congratulations on purchasing the PSR1212, a highly advanced twelve-by-twelve

digital matrix mixer with audio processing. It utilizes an internal macro language

and 32 user-definable presets to quickly adapt to a variety of sound reinforcement

and room-combining applications in auditoriums, stadiums, theatres, gymnasiums,

hotel/convention centers, conference rooms, training rooms, and boardrooms.

The PSR1212 facilitates local and remote PC setup and diagnostics, logic

outputs, and automatic gated microphone operation. Gating parameters for

microphone inputs can be individually customized, while automatic gain control

keeps the overall sound level consistent. Eight of the 12 channels can be

configured as an automatic microphone mixer.

All microphone mixing parameters can be customized and any combination of

inputs can be routed to any combination of outputs, with attenuation adjustments

at each cross point. This allows flexibility in accommodating different applications

and customer requirements.

Adjustments in routing, level, and other functions can be made through

presets activated through a closure on the rear panel, an RS-232 serial interface,

or a control panel through the RS-485 port.

The PSR1212 features eight audio processing blocks, each with 15 filters.

Each filter can be configured as a parametric equalizer, high pass, low pass, CD

horn, high shelving, low shelving, all pass, or crossover. This allows you to tailor

the PSR1212’s audio response to optimize the audio quality and fidelity in a wide

variety of venues.

The GPIO (general purpose input/output) allows switching among any of 32

user-stored presets. This gives you real-time flexibility to meet a variety of audio

reinforcement requirements.

Network-based interconnectivity allows up to eight PSR1212s to be

connected and controlled as a single unit, allowing microphone coverage in

applications requiring up to 64 mics.

The PSR1212’s Macro Pro™ scripting language allows the unit to function

without the need for an external controller. However, it can be easily interfaced to the

ClearOne Control Panel or XAP IR Remote via either of the two RS-485 ports. The

unit can also interface with a PC or external controller through the RS-232 port.
