TI1048 Audio Management
Thursday, 16 December 2010 12:42
MC² Audio are known as a leading manufacturer and supplier of extreme high quality and high output power amplifiers that are used in a variety of very demanding applications worldwide.
The recently developed Ti Series is now augmented by the addition of the Ti1048, which is surprisingly NOT an amplifier. It is a 4 input, 8 output audio management system that has been added to the range to compliment the Ti Series.
Complete with full matrix mixing and a palette of EQ functions the Ti1048 from MC² Audio offers no-compromise digital signal processing. 24-bit high end converters coupled with a 96k sample rate, ensure a bandwidth in excess of 30kHz and a dynamic range of over 112dB. World class limiters, offering unrivalled transparency, give peace of mind when configuring a system to ‘set and forget’.
The Ti1048 can be completely configured under the iCore2 software package via either the front USB or an RS485 link, along with MC2 Audio Ti Series Networked Audio Components. By using the new, custom panel facility within iCore2, it is now possible to design control panels specific to any venue, with as much or as little complexity and security as is required.
Quick access keys make setting up the remote facilities a breeze, with simple easy to remember menus. Preset recalls may also be implemented from the front panel. The real time clock and calendar in each unit allows for the set-up of fully automated preset recalls, so your system can seamlessly adapt in the background with no need for user intervention.
With a GPIO interface built-in, along with the USB easy access front panel connector, and RS485 networking, it’s easy to get your system configured and then left secure with only remote access via the touch panels (or any other system you choose).
SPECIFICATIONS
Equalisation Pallette
- EQ bands – 8 per input, 9 per output.
- Each band can be switched to Bandpass, Allpass, Notch, VariQ, Shelf and Elliptical response.
- Any band may also be used as a phase filter with 2 degree accuracy.
Crossover Filters
- Bessel/Butterworth 6/12/18/24/48dB per octave and Linkwitz-Riley12/24/dB per octave.
Audio Inputs and Outputs
- Electronically balanced on 3-pin ‘Phoenix’
- Input impedence >10k Ohms
- Input CMRR . 65dB 50Hz-10kHz
GPIO Connections
- GPI port opto-isolated inputs
- GPO ‘open collector’ isolated outputs
Limiters
- Program limiter with look ahead response and attack time from 0.3-90mS and release time from 4-16x attack
time. Automatic option for taking care of these!
- DMax clip limiter for setting absolute output level with look ahead attack time and variable release.
Matrixing
- Full matrix 4-8 mixing with 650mS delay available on every output along with polarity switching.
Remote Connections
- USB front panel socket for local control
- RS485 rear panel for network
- USB-RS485 conversion
LOCAL AND REMOTE
Remote touch sensitive wall panels allow for quick recall of up to four presets (with the facility to program an offset for different banks). These panels can be paralleled up around a venue so any one will trigger a system-wide recall, with messages relaying via RS485.
Additional control line allows for an override memory to work with emergency evacuation systems.
