PS-8810
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
4.0 Introduction
The BSS PS-8810 is a virtual 24x10 routing mixer that also
provides unique dual input processing paths, making it two
complete eight-channel mixers in one chassis. In addition, every
input and output channel includes a full complement of signal
processing as well as automixing features to offer a complete
'system-in-a-box' solution.
Each of the eight balanced inputs is independently adjustable for
any mic or line-level source and, all analogue audio inputs have
low noise microphone preamps and switched phantom power.
The input signal is routed through a switch that allows either the
analogue input or CobraNet input (PS-8810C) into the ‘Input
Processing Section’.
The BSS PS-8810 features high-quality 24-bit A/D and D/A
converters along with 240MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) of
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) for optimum dynamic range.
Around 4000 DSP objects can be handled internally.
The 16 Input Processing Sections include a fader, advanced
algorithms for gating, auto-levelling, filtering, compression and
automixing. Automixing functions include ‘NOM’ (Number of
Open Mic’s) Attenuation, Priority Ducking, and Adaptive Gating
processing.
Each of the Input Processing Sections is further processed by a full
24x10 Matrix Mixer (with CobraNet fitted) that allows any
combination of routing and mixing from any input to any output.
The Matrix Mixer outputs are routed to the two Main Outputs and
eight AUX Audio Outputs.
The Main and AUX Audio Output sections further process the
signal with individually adjustable signal delay and filters along
with an Ambient-Leveler and a high performance Output Limiter
for system protection.
32 user configurable ‘Presets’ allow control over all the settings and
configuration of the unit, while 32 ‘Scenes’ allow partial settings
changes for only those controls that need to be adjusted. An event
scheduler allows Presets or Scenes to be recalled on a single or
periodic occurrence based upon an internal real-time clock.
All of the BSS PS-8810 parameters are backed up via reliable
FLASH Memory.
