8 Bands of Parametric EQ
In addition Auto EQ the APA1200DSP has three additional EQ bands for a grand total of eight bands of fully parametric EQ. All bands include a 0.4 to 14 continuously variable Q, and range from 20Hz to 20kHZ with -12dB to +6dB of adjustment. Each of the five bands controlled by the Auto EQ can also be adjusted to operate as high and low pass filters, bass and treble shelves, or notch filters; providing supreme control of the system EQ.
Built-in Limiter
With 1200 watts of power it can sometimes be easy to overpower your favorite speakers. The built-in limiter allows for complete control and easy protection of any speaker. Full control of threshold, attack, and release can be independently applied to each channel or linked for stereo control.
The APA1200DSP is built for connectivity. The Input section accepts +4dB and -10dB line-level signals on either stereo RCA connections of Balanced XLR as well as digital audio on a Coaxial SPDIF connection. Ensuring compatibility with almost any source, these inputs are mirrored on the XLR and RCA outputs for building an expanded system with multiple zones or subwoofers. The two amplified channels can power 2 ohm, 4 ohm, and 8 ohm speakers in stereo and can be bridged to power 4 ohm speakers at 1150 watts. Additionally, the APA1200DSP features an ethernet port for connecting to a data network, and 12 volt trigger inputs and outputs for integration into automated systems.
