Rack Processor Controls

The Surround Processor contains the ASP510 audio electronics and is controlled from the desktop remote over the RS485 link.

The rear panel provides interfaces for:

  • three surround monitor sources
  • three stereo monitor sources
  • encoder and decoder inserts
  • console monitoring and logic
  • stereo and surround record/playback
  • six main speaker outputs plus alternate Left and Right outputs

The Console Interface can accept Solo, Dim and Talkback logic from a host console. Its Control Room inputs can also feed the Left and Right monitors directly when ASP510 is in Bypass.

A Guide or Production track can be routed to the main Left and Right monitors through the same interface.
