3 Introduction and Key Features
3.1 Introduction
The APG DMS48 processor represents current state-of-the-art technology. Taking advantage
of the latest advances in analogue to digital conversion and digital signal processing technolo-
gies the units achieve performance levels higher than previous devices. Below is a list of key
features, followed by some information on the major advancements of the DMS48 feature set.
3.2 Key Features
• APG minimal signal path design
• Bandwidth: 96kHz sampling frequency provides for a nominally flat response beyond
40kHz.
• Three rotary encoders, illuminated buttons and graphical display provide a rapid, intuitive
and user-friendly control interface
• High speed capable and flexible Ethernet communications that supports DHCP, static-
IP and auto-IP and direct connection to a computer without the need for a router or a
switch
• Class leading sonic performance achieved by the use of state of the art converters, a 4
th
Generation Analogue Devices Sharc DSP and highly advanced DSP algorithms
• Powerful Drive Module concept, abstraction from device centric to speaker based control
• Unique VX limiter providing dynamic control for passive 2-way enclosures
• Unique LIR linear phase crossover shapes giving FIR-like performance without the draw-
backs
• Linear phase HF system EQ profiling which provides perfect integration between enclo-
sures
• Innovative excursion control limiter with sliding High Pass Filter; retains dynamic impact
whilst effectively protecting drivers.
• Transducer thermal modelling provides regulation limiters, addressing long term overload
• Overshoot limiter governs amplitude of transient signals retaining average power whilst
constraining peak energy
• Dante audio networking with AVB upgrade path
• AES3 inputs and outputs switchable in pairs
• High performance universal mains switch mode power supply, designed in-house.
