01 / BRIEF INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This is a high-performance digital DSP processor, supporting multiple analog signal routing. Users can connect the machine via USB or Intranet IP and other methods to control the upper computer. The PC software interface is simple and user-friendly, offering intuitive operation.
The CPU utilizes the ADSP-21571 digital audio processing chip from ADI Corporation. It features a dual-core SHARC+DSP processor based on the Arm Cortex-A5 high-performance floating-point core architecture, supporting 64-bit floating-point optimization FIR and IIR algorithms. The A/D section uses the AK5552 analog-to-digital conversion chip, supporting a 32-bit 768kHz sampling rate and differential filter circuit input design. This ensures high resolution and low noise for input signals, achieving a professional-grade 118dB signal-to-noise ratio, effectively minimizing background noise in the digital audio processing circuit.
COMPOSITION OF PRODUCT
A block diagram illustrates the product's composition:

OPERATION EXAMPLE
A. Channel delay regulation: Press the [DELAY] button, select the corresponding channel (A~D or 1~8) on the left to enter the parameter adjustment screen, and use the [Enter] control knob to modify the parameter.
B. Modifying channel routing: Press the [MATRIX] button, select the corresponding channel (A~D or 1~8) on the left to enter the parameter adjustment interface. Press the control knob [Enter] under the selected channel to enter the editing state, and press the corresponding channel key to perform routing links.
C. Channel silence: Long press the [Channel key] on the main screen for 2 seconds. The silent indicator will light up, indicating the current channel is in the silent state.
D. Restore factory Settings: Connect the power cable. Hold down the [ENTER] + [BACK] keys on the panel, then power on the unit. Release the keys when "Factory Boot Loading...OK" appears on the screen.
