Two-channel active amplifier with DSP filter control.
Description
The PSC2 is a plate amp for use in powered speaker systems. As an active speaker controller, a PSC2
can form the basis of a powerful active two-way monitor.
Figure 4 shows the audio path of the PSC2. The module has two 400Watt UcD modules implemented
and is also available with a digital audio input AES/EBU, called the PSC2.400d version. The supply
voltage is provided by a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS400) module, also a module from Hypex
Electronics.
A PC controls the PSC2 through the USB port. This connection is used to upload the configuration
and filter settings. It will also be possible to update the firmware through USB.
Audio performance data
