3. Operasi anu Amppangagung

3.1 Kadali Panel hareup

The front panel features a color display, navigation buttons (HOME, ENTER, EXIT, GAIN), and a rotary encoder for intuitive control and configuration. Input and output mute buttons, along with signal and clip indicators, provide real-time status.

3.2 Fleksibel Amplifier Summing Technology (FAST)

FAST allows for active distribution of amplifier power across channels in various combinations. This enables the amplifier to drive a wide range of loudspeaker systems efficiently, from single high-power subwoofers to multi-channel full-range setups.

3.3 Loudspeaker Processing

The PLD 4.3 integrates sophisticated independent loudspeaker processing per channel, optimizing both amplifier and loudspeaker performance. This includes:

• Input Sensitivity and Gain adjustment.
• Dynamics Processing (RMS and Peak Limiting).
• Source Selection.
• High-pass and Low-pass Crossover Filters (Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel slopes).
• Paramétrik EQ.
• Alignment Delay.
• IIR and FIR Filtering.
• Intrinsic Correction.

3.4 Preset Wizard

The Preset Wizard streamlines setup by providing access to top loudspeaker selections and pre-configured settings. This feature simplifies the configuration process, allowing users to quickly assign and optimize outputs for specific speaker models.
