Ultra-Dyne Digital 24 Bit Dual DSP Mainframe Leveler/Exciter/Limiter

DSP 9024

Overview

The DSP9024 offers six freely definable bands of dynamic processing plus a program-adaptive 3-band exciter, tube emulation and an integrated delay for “look-ahead” parameter adjustment. Interactive signal analysis and unique automatic functions enable you to get results fast, whether you need multiband compression, loudness maximization, de-essing or selective gating.

And the optional AES8024 adds digital inputs/outputs to your DSP9024

Features

• High-end 24-bit A/D and D/A converters for ultra-high dynamic range and resolution of detail with selectable sampling rate of 44.1 or 48 kHz

• Ultimate 6-way multi-band dynamics processor for analog and digital mastering and sound reinforcement systems

• 6-band compressor with separate peak limiter section for “inaudible” compression. No side-effects, such as “bass pumping”, etc.

• 6-band gate with adjustable threshold, hold time, release time and peak width

• ULTRAMIZER® automatically adjusts output level and signal density for maximum perceived loudness

• VIRTUOSO® function for super-easy, program-dependent and self-learning program setup

• 3-band harmonics exciter with user-definable balance for odd/even harmonics and unique “kick” control

• Extremely sophisticated tube emulation with selectable tube types (12AX7, 12AY7, EL34, EL84) for authentic tube sound

• Internal 600 ms delay enables a “look ahead” for intelligent, anticipating processor function

• Ultra-accurate level peak meter with peak hold and selectable reference levels (+4 dBu / -10 dBV / Dig Max)

• Full MIDI parameter and snapshot control allow for real-time editing

• Extremely versatile presets give you outstanding and instant sound results for numerous standard applications

• 100 settings can be stored under any alphabetic name; memory backed by a long-life battery

• Extremely flexible stereo link, band link and clone functions

• 24-bit AES/EBU interface for digital inputs and outputs at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz (optional)

• Large high-resolution LCD graphic display with high-contrast LED backlight

• Servo-balanced inputs and outputs on gold-plated XLR and ¼“ TRS connectors for high signal integrity

• Relay-controlled hard bypass with an auto-bypass function during power failure (fail-safe relay)

• High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life
