Merlin
®
:
Performance, flexibility, simplicity
Modular inputs and outputs –
two channels to a module –
allow the purchase of just the
amount of processing required.
For the Xi-Series
™
family of
loudspeakers, typical configura-
tions include:
• 2 x 4 (two in/four out) for a
stereo two-way system
• 2 x 6 for a stereo three-way
system
• 2 x 8 for a stereo three-way
system with dual low-fre-
quency enhancement
outputs.
Additional Merlin
®
ISP-100’s
can be used to augment loud-
speaker management with
signal routing to fit many
performing arts, church and
other applications.
The power and versatility of
Merlin
®
are best displayed
when applied to the manage-
ment of Xi-Series
™
speaker
systems:
• Two-element (dipole) and
three-element (tripole) line-
array configurations extend
vertical coverage control to
as low as 125 Hz. (See pages
4 and 5 for full explanations
and the models that apply.)
• Excursion-smart protection
against mechanical overdrive
of system components. (See
page 5 for full explanations
and applicable models.)
In general, conventional digital
processors do not offer the
programming flexibility or DSP
power to handle these signifi-
cant special applications.
At the heart of Merlin
®
ISP-100 are QuickMAP’s. They
denote the signal-flow from
inputs to outputs, with the
specific EQ filters, crossover
filters, signal delays, combining
blocks and limiters included
along the way. Each QuickMAP
™
is a system configuration that
incorporates the system design-
er's requirements for signal
routing and multiway loud-
speaker management.
The VUE-IT
™
software pro-
vided includes many standard
QuickMAP’s for typical applica-
tions. Custom QuickMAP’s can
be constructed by the
factory or the system designer
using available QuickBUILD
™
software. The two-way/left-
center-right QuickMAP’s above
— designed by Brian Elwell of
Acoustic Dimensions, Dallas,
Texas — are examples.
Merlin
®
ISP-100 is a truly flexible, fully configurable digital
control system that manages the crossover, voicing
(equalization), signal alignment, directivity control and
protection of X-Array Xi-Series
™
speaker systems.
It is easy to configure and install, and intuitive to use.
Available with 24-bit input and output modules, parameter
algorithms were developed and "tweaked" by engineers
who are serious music listeners. Merlin
®
ISP-100 delivers
sound quality in the digital domain that is truly
exceptional.
Merlin
®
ISP-100 is supplied with
a special applications manual
(Special Applications Merlin
®
ISP-100 and Electro-Voice
Xi-Series
™
— part #535297) and
two special
Merlin
®
/Xi-Series
™
QuickMAP’s, one for three-way
systems plus subs, capable of
dipole and tripole configura-
tions, and the other for two-way
systems plus subs, featuring the
excursion-smart loudspeaker
component protection. For a
