Q-SYS DPM-300 Digital Cinema Audio Processor: 10-Channel Powerhouse for Immersive Sound
Upgrade your cinema's audio experience with the Q-SYS DPM-300! This 10-channel digital cinema audio processor builds on QSC's legacy, offering all signal processing and monitoring functions in one integrated system. Designed for use with QSC's Digital Cinema Amplifiers (DCA) and featuring advanced Intrinsic Correction settings for QSC's Digital Cinema Speakers (DCS), it optimizes loudspeaker performance while simplifying wiring and configuration. With its wide range of features and compatibility, the DPM-300 is a must-have for any cinema looking to enhance sound quality.
Features:
- • Ten digital inputs for 5.1 and 7.1 soundtracks and HI/VI
- • HDMI input/output for non-sync sources (DPM 300H)
- • Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD (DPM 300H)
- • Control and monitoring via Ethernet including full SNMP support
- • Serial automation control via RS-232
- • Analog Inputs for film processors, non-sync and Mic/Line
- • Master volume and full 1/3 Octave Graphic EQ on all channels (except subwoofer)
- • Booth Monitor loudspeaker and headphone jack
- • Digital Loudspeaker Crossovers for three passive bi-, tri-, or quad-amp screen channels
- • Compatible with all existing DCA amplifiers - thousands of DCA-equipped screens are ready for full network monitoring and control
- • Bypass mode routes audio around failed components to insure that the show will go on
- • Intrinsic Correction for DCS loudspeakers for optimal “out of box” performance and reduced set-up time
- • Continued development of software and firmware will add new capabilities to the existing hardware with easy firmware updates
