EXPLANATION OF GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsu- lated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans. The exclamation point within an equi[...]

Section 1: Introduction- Overview 5 The DSP-3 is a digital signal processor ( or DSP ) accessory for audio power amplifiers designed to reduce the need for exter- nal signal processing while increasing overall system reliability through distributed intelligence. It is intended primarily for QSC’s CX, DCA, and Powerlight2 series amplifiers and mou[...]

IMPORTANT! Pleas read before operating the DSP-3 with your audio system. The DSP-3 is a professional level DSP product that allows the user to produce virtually unlimited signal processor varia- tions and configurations. Because of the infinite configura- tion possibilities of digital signal processing and the DSP-3, it is possible to create config[...]

This quick start section is for those users who want to get up and running with the DSP-3 and Signal Manager software as quickly as possible. It is in no way a substitute for reviewing the contents of the entire hardware manual. It is intended for people familiar with the equipment discussed and should be followed up with a review of the manual and[...]

In the Signal Manager application, check the COMMUNICATION STATUS PANE (lower right corner of the Signal Manager window, see above). If the COMMUNICATION STATUS PANE indicates..... ONL[...]

Section 1: Introduction- Quick Start The last applied configuration that is “running” in the DSP-3 when it is turned off becomes the active configuration again once the power is turned back on to the DSP-3. This ensures that the system “comes up” just as it was left last time it was powered down. If you decide to edit an existing configurat[...]

Section 1: Introduction- T echnical Overview 17 Audio Input Path There are two audio channels each with two input connectors, a balanced 3-pin ‘euro’ terminal block jack and an electronically balanced DataPort input. The inputs are protected with a filter that prevents radio frequency interference. The inputs have software- selectable full scal[...]

Section 2: Installation- Unpacking and Mounting 18 UNPACKING There are no special unpacking precautions for the DSP-3. However, it is recommended that you keep the original packing material for reuse in the rare event that service be required for your DSP-3. If service is required and the original packing material is not available, insure that the [...]

Section 2: Installation- Remote mounting (4-ch., Powerlight & non QSC amp ’ s) 19 REMOTE MOUNTING THE DSP-3 : 4-Channel CX and DCA , Powerlight series, and all non-QSC amplifiers Use of the DSP-3 with the 4-channel CX and DCA and all Powerlight amplifiers requires the remote mounting of the DSP-3. Use with non- QSC amplifiers also requires re[...]

20 Section 2: Installation- Connections CONNECTING AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS: The audio inputs and outputs of the DSP-3 use 3-pin “Phoenix”-type (Euro-style) terminal block connectors. These connectors allow pre- wiring of inputs without any soldering and allow for rerouting of audio inputs by simply interchanging connector locations without the[...]

21 Section 2: Installation- Connections DATAPORT Connection- This section applies to those users interfacing with the QSC DataPort products. If using the DataPort for your audio inputs, DO NOT use the terminal block inputs. If the DataPort is used only for control & monitoring of the amplifier (no audio input through the DataPort), then audio i[...]

Section 2: Installation- Connections 22 DAISY-CHAINING THE DSP-3 OUTPUTS TO ADDITIONAL AMPLIFIERS The DSP-3 provides audio output jacks for each channel. These outputs may be used for daisy-chaining the post-DSP signal to other amplifiers or for monitoring purposes. The signal on the output jacks is post-DSP. All signal processing functions done by[...]
