About Marani DPA880

Be at the forefront of audio management with the Marani DPA880 8"x 8 Out Speaker Management System, an advanced solution designed to cater to the intricate needs of both live performance setups and fixed installations. This state-of-the-art system boasts a full spectrum 20Hz-20kHz frequency response, ensuring pristine audio quality across all outputs.

The DPA880 is engineered with a robust DSP Engine and high-performance 24-bit AD/DA converters, delivering exceptional sonic clarity. With eight analog inputs and outputs, plus two digital S/PDIF inputs, this system offers extensive connectivity options for a variety of audio sources.

Each input channel is equipped with a comprehensive suite of sound shaping tools, including a 5-band parametric equalizer, a noise gate function, gain control, and a configurable delay. The integrated Pink/White noise generator on each input channel is an invaluable tool for sound system tuning during installation, ensuring optimal performance.

Output channels are just as impressive, featuring up to seven bands of parametric equalization and sophisticated crossover filters with selectable slopes ranging from 6dB/Octave to a steep 48dB/Octave. These filters include Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley, and customizable topologies for precise frequency separation. Dynamic range control on each output is meticulously handled by a Peak Limiter and an RMS Compressor, both with adjustable parameters to maintain audio integrity.

The DPA880's full matrix mixing capabilities allow for flexible routing and mixing of inputs to any output, creating a versatile and customizable audio experience. Delays can be finely adjusted up to 850 ms for each input and output channel, enabling precise synchronization and alignment of sound across different speaker zones.

Remote configuration and control are seamless with the DPA880's multiple connection options, including Ethernet, USB, and RS485. The accompanying remote PC software facilitates the management of up to 32 units simultaneously, offering real-time level monitoring and parameter adjustments.

On the device itself, an interactive LCD display provides local access and configuration, while the front panel features 7-LED level meter indicators for each channel. A Memory Card reader/writer is also available for convenient preset storage and recall.

Security features include a lockout function, ensuring that settings remain unchanged during critical operations. The Marani DPA880 is a comprehensive audio management system that delivers unparalleled control, flexibility, and audio quality for professional audio engineers and technicians.
