D80, D20 amplifiers tutorial 2 Device setup: Input modes

All d&b amplifiers incorporate sophisticated Digital Signal Processing capabilities for comprehensive loudspeaker management, switchable filter functions, remote capabilities and user-definable controls. They are designed specifically to power d&b loudspeakers and are the beating heart of all d&b systems. This tutorial will guide you through the basic functions of the D80 and D20 amplifiers in 5 chapters, which represent d&b's next generation of high power four channel system amplifiers. D80 and D20 provide two user-definable 16-band equalizers with parametric, notch, shelving and asymmetric filters and up to 10 seconds of delay, all of which can be applied to each of the amplifiers’ four channels. As is the case for all other d&b amplifiers, they feature analog and AES / EBU digital inputs assignable to each channel, not to mention System check, Input and Load monitoring, overvoltage protection, temperature and signal controlled cooling and switch mode power supplies.
