The 4 Series are powerful DSP based audio processors, ideally suited for install applications, where they combine the functions of a multitude of conventional products in a compact 1U unit with extensive remote control capabilities. DP444 has four inputs and eight outputs which can be configured in a selection of basic crossover modes (2 x 2 way, 1 x 4 way, 4 x 1 way). It also offer a “free assign” mode, which allows completely flexible routing of any output from any combination of inputs.

Each input has a gain control, variable delay, a 28 band graphic equaliser and a further eight bands of fully parametric equalisation. The parametric filter bands have a large selection of different filter types available, including shelving, notch, band-pass, phase and elliptical behaviours.

Each output has a gain control, variable delay, high and low pass crossover filters, nine bands of fully parametric equalisation, polarity switching and, additionally, a fully featured limiter, and a final clip limiter. The crossover filters offer slopes of up to 48dB/Octave., with a variety of responses available.

Remote control is catered for in the form of RS232 and RS485 ports, and multiple user memories are provided for the storage and recall of settings. A GPI interface may also be fitted to allow remote memory recalls using simple switch closure apparatus.

Security lock-out is available for all controls.

The 4 Series are also equipped with AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs, and include sample rate conversion, capable of accepting digital audio from 32kHz up to 192kHz.

Units can be controlled externally by XTA’s proprietary AudioCore Windows software, along with existing and future ‘AudioCore’ products.
