Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase of the Protea ne24.24M. The Protea ne24.24M Matrix Processor uses modular expansion cards to provide up to twenty-four channels of audio matrixing and processing, along with provisions for remote control and logic output. The base unit offers a four-input/four-output configuration. Each input and output expansion card has individual DSP processing allowing expansion of the base unit’s total inputs or out

A flat blade screwdriver is required to connect a stripped wire lead to the external connector piece, which is then inserted into the rear panel Euro Block receptacle. It is important that both (+) and (-) inputs are prop- erly terminated or signal loss and noise may result. In other words, if an unbal- Eurobl

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor To use contact closure switching, up to eight presets (1-8) must first be defined according to the needs of the installation. To use the mic input “Push To Talk” feature, select the “Push To Talk Mic” checkbox in the Protea NE Software’s mic preamp dialog box. The preset recall feature for that contact closure is then deactivated. Switches are to be configured so that closing the switch contact triggers the preset recall event. It doesn't matter i

A standard RJ-45 jack is used for connecting directly to a PC, PDA, or 10/100 Base-T network. 7.3 Connecting the ne24.24M to a computer using the RS-232 Dataport The ne24.24M is optimally designed for use with ethernet control, however it remains backward compatible to systems using RS-232 control.

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor on either side of the fre- quency center is boost or cut, whereas a larger "wider" bandwidth (lower Q) pro- duces an audible change to the overall tone of a signal. Parametric filters are best used to hunt down and elimi- nate problem feedback fre- quencies, add or remove a characteristic "hot spot" from microphones, or clean up room resonance situations. It is well worth the time becom- ing proficient with paramet- ric EQ filters, as they offer the

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor is 0 degree phase shift, at the All Pass filter center frequency there is -180 degrees of phase shift, and at high frequencies there is -360 degrees of phase shift. Each input channel has an EQ On/Off button for all filters, and in turn each filter band has its own bypass button. The Flatten Curve function returns all filters to 0dB, but preserves the frequency and bandwidth of any used filters. 8.1g Noise Gate Noise gates are used to minimize unwan

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor 8.1i Ducker A Ducker is used to attenuate the level of selected input channels when one or more "Trigger" inputs have signal present. Input channels can be set to one of four ducker modes: 1.) BYPASS - no ducking action applies. 2.) DUCKED PROGRAM - signal present on other "Trigger" selected input chan- nels act to attenuate this input channel. 3.) LOW PRIORITY TRIGGER - signal present on this input channel attenuates all other inputs set to "Duc

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor 8.2b Hpf/Lpf - Crossover Bandpass or crossover func- tions on the Protea ne24.24M are available only on the output chan- nels. Every channel's crossover consists of a high pass filter (HPF) and a low pass filter (LPF), along with the frequencies and filter types used. Each output's cross- over section is essentially a bandpass filter, making it neces- sary for the user to map out ahead of time which outputs will be used for the various frequency ba

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor Bessel These filters, as implemented on the ne24.24M, are always -3dB at the displayed crossover frequency. Bessel filters are used because they have a maximally flat group delay. Stated another way, Bessel filters have the most linear phase response. When a Bessel HPF and LPF of the same crossover frequency are summed, the combined response is +3dB for 12dB/oct, 18dB/oct, and 48dB/oct Bessel filters, and -2dB for 24dB/oct Bessel filters. One of t

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor 8.2f Output Compressor/Limiter A full function compressor/limiter is included on each out- put channel. A limiter is commonly used to prevent transient audio signal spikes from damaging loudspeakers, manage ana- log and digital recording levels, optimize broadcast levels, or "thicken" the sound of an audio source (compression). The ad- justable parameters include Limiter In/Out, Threshold, Ratio, Attack Time, Release Time, and Link Group, and Atten

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor Since there are no user controls on the ne24.24M, the only way to load presets is by using Protea NE Software to recall files saved on either the PC or the ne24.24M. The exception to this is through the use of contact closures or the Ashly WR-5 wall-mounted remote control. Contact closures can load presets 1-8 from the ne24.24M memory using switches wired to the rear panel contact closure connector block (see sec. 5.4). Note: A preset recall event

Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor In addition to using a WR-1 as the control device, the remote level control feature can be used for relay activated muting of selected channels, as in a fire alarm application (see sec. 16). Note: Use Protea System Software version 6.1.4 or higher, and ne24.24M program version 1.5 or higher to allow assignable remote control. Level control is "attenuate only" meaning that the maximum setting of the control potentiometer (fully clockwise) results in
