2 English ± INTRODUCTION DATA The Shure Model DP11EQ is a single-channel, digital signal processor that combines a comprehensive dynamics processor, two parametric equalizers, and a delay in a single, half-rack enclosure. The DP11EQ can function as a gate, expander, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) leveler, compressor, limiter, and no overshoot peak limiter. All of these features are accessed via the supplied Windows* software. You can connect a computer to set up the unit in a sound system, then remove the computer so no one can tamper with the settings when the unit\ is left unattended. The DP11EQ is designed for installed sound reinforcement applications: theater, conference rooms, meeting halls, houses of worship, etc. Hardware Features Crystal* 20-bit A/D and D/A converters (Analog-to-Digital, Digital-to-Analog) for 104 dBdynamic range. 48 kHz sampling rate for flat response to 20 kHz. Half-rack space chassis allows rack mounting of one or two units in a single rack space with nosagging or bending. Shure Link Interface allows multiple units to be programmed with a single computer. Independently driven, cross-coupled, balanced1/4-inch and XLR outputs. Can be used with balanced or unbalanced inputs. Electronically balanced input with combination1/4-inch and XLR connector. Can be used with balanced or unbalanced outputs. No internal batteries. Settings and DSP program stored in internal EEPROM. +4 dBu/±10 dBV DIP-switch-selectable input andoutput levels. 80 MHz Motorola* DSP56009 processor enginewith full 24-bit internal processing. RS-232 interface for external computer controland firmware updates. Internal linear power supply eliminates the needfor a cumbersome external power supply. Solid state bypass eliminates unreliablemechanical relays and switches. A SIGNAL presence and a CLIP indicator DYNAMIC GAIN meter. Shure Link connectors for networking to otherShure Link devices, such as the modelsDFR11EQ and UA888. Software Features Four (4) processing blocks: pre-dynamics equalizer (EQ1), dynamics (DYN), post-dynamics(EQ2), and Delay. The dynamics processor functions as a Gate, Expander, AGC Leveler, Compressor, Limiter, andNo Overshoot Peak Limiter. The parametric equalizer offers up to 10 filters with adjustable frequency, up to 6 dB of boost or±18 dB of cut per filter, 1/40 to 2 octave bandwidth. Response Viewing. The dynamics and equalizer windows each have a viewer which shows theeffect of the process on the signal. Up to 1.3 seconds of Digital Delay with temperature compensation option. Displayed intime and distance. Digitally-controlled signal polarity inverting for equipment that inverts balanced signals. Front panel lockout control to prevent tampering. Storage of multiple scenes to floppy or hard disk.
