Modular Signal Processors
Each signal processing module is encapsulated in a graphic block that you can manipulate with the
mouse. You can access the processor settings by double-clicking on the block to open its parameter
window. Settings can be saved and recalled from the computer, and copied between similar modules.
Processor settings can also be synchronized via the link feature. The P4800 includes the following
selection of signal processor modules.
§ Shure's Powerful Digital Feedback Reducer § Gate/Expander
§ Automatic Gain Control and Leveler
§ Mono and Stereo Compressor/Limiter with Soft-
Knee Option
§ Combining and Non-Combining 10 and 30-Band
Graphic Equalizers
§ Ducker
§ 3 to 10-Band Parametric Equalizers with Cut
and Shelf Filters
§ Peak Stop Limiter
§ 2 to 5 Way Crossovers and Splitter
External Device Control
After it is installed and programmed with the software interface, the System Processor can be controlled
with a simple hardware interface, as well as with a computer or MIDI device. The control pins on the rear
panel can be connected to external hardware, so that the P4800 will respond to contact closures,
potentiometers, and wall-plate switches. The output pins can be configured to indicate preset and mute
status to LED's, control relays, or other equipment.
Security
The security feature gives the installer peace of mind that the device cannot be tampered with after it is
installed. User access can be completely restricted so that the user cannot change any settings, or even
switch presets. They will only be able to view the settings of the current preset from the software interface.
End-user control can also be customized to allow access to certain settings, and not to others.
P4800 Software Minimum Requirements
The P4800 Software Version 4 requires a PC with the following specifications to function properly:
§ 20 MB available hard disk space
§ CD-ROM drive
§ VGA monitor with 640 x 480/256 color, or higher resolution
§ Mouse or other pointing device
Processor speed and memory requirements vary, depending on the version of Windows and number
of background applications you are running. Operating the P4800 software simultaneously with
programs such as SIA-Smaart or Gold Line TEF™ requires a faster processor and more RAM. The
following table lists the minimum requirements for running the P4800 software with no other
applications in the background, including virus protection, firewall, instant messaging, or email.
Windows Version Processor Speed RAM
95, 95B, and 98 Pentium 166 MHz 32 MB
98, Second Edition Pentium 166 MHz 48 MB
NT Pentium 233 MHz 64 MB
ME Pentium 300 MHz 64 MB
2000 Professional Pentium 300 MHz 96 MB
XP Professional, Home Pentium 300 MHz 128 MB
