Amate Audio has introduced the LMS206 loudspeaker management processor, bringing the system configuration capabilities of its Nítid active loudspeaker series to passive audio systems.
The LMS206 is the first in a series of next generation loudspeaker management processors, providing ‘round-the-clock’ operation with a 64-bit DSP architecture. The 2-input/6-output (on balanced XLR, with 24-bit resolution ADDA signal convertors), 1U-high 19-inch rackmount device is fully configurable. Each input is assignable to any output. Each output has two crossovers with selectable filtering – Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley and Bessel – and independent compressor/limiter settings. Ten parametric equalisers, with 1Hz frequency resolution, employ best industry practice dB/2 bell parametric filtering. Delay lines are selectable up to 2s (680m), and polarity is switchable. Up to 80 storable user configurable memory presets can be password protected.
The LMS206 features 20 pre-installed configuration preset memories, providing operational efficiency with the rapid onboard system set-up capabilities of the Nítid active loudspeaker series. These provide instantaneous system control configurations for various combinations and numbers of Amate Audio’s Nítid and Key passive loudspeakers.
The unit’s front panel features a 2x16 black backlit LCD with extensive LED input and output monitoring (level, clip and limiter). A USB port provides for enhanced external control with Amate Audio’s DSPLink control software for Windows and Mac OS (downloadable from the website).
Differing levels of password protection allow for complete lockout of the unit, whereby software is only enabled for monitoring, or specific user memory mode, where operation is restricted to the loading and configuration of a particular user’s own memory settings.
‘The LMS series is a completely new and robust platform, specifically designed for constant operation in adverse environments and with a new PEQ implementation.’ Says International Sales Manager, Jordi Amate. ‘In addition, there is the system configuration presets for our Nítid passive loudspeaker systems, which offers new opportunities for operational efficiency.’
