AC26N is a digital sound processor for the management of audio systems, designed for fixed and touring installations. AC26N uses the most modern technology with 28/56 bit processors and high performance 24 bits AD/DA converters.

The functions available in the processor are: input and output levels, delay, polarity, 12 equalization bands for each input and output channel, multiple crossover and high performance limiter.

The control resolution of the filters is 1Hz. Inputs and outputs can be set according to many configurations to meet any need.

AC26N can be controlled in real time and each one of its parameters can be configured on the front panel, and through a computer by means of an intuitive graphical interface, accessible through the software DVA Network and a dedicated RDnet or USB network connection.

The CPU and DSP software update, via PC, allows to keep the device up to date. It is possible to save and recall 32 preset configurations.

DVA Network

The AC26N is equipped with proprietary network interface, called RDNET, for PC interface through a device (RDNET control).
For this purpose, a proprietary communication protocol has been developed for receiving and sending data; this connection permits real-time monitoring of the diffuser parameters, such as output power, amplifier temperature, limiter status, etc...
It is also possible to select various equalizations or create new ones, set the desired volume levels using the specific plug-in.

It is recommended to download DVA Network free software directly from dB Technologies (www.dbtechnologies.com) in the special section «Software & Controller»

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

5) -6dB SELECTOR

This selector allows to reduce all the analog XLR [6] input levels by 6 dB at the same time to compensate for the high output levels on the mixers or other audio devices. When the input signal level bar on the display [1] remains always at full scale, this means that the input signal level is excessive and a -6 dB attenuation is recommended. In the Option menu it is possible to check when the selector is activated

6) INPUT CONNECTORS "A" AND "B"

Inputs balanced at line level. Capable to accept XLR male connectors

7) OUTPUT CONNECTORS "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" AND "6"

CONNECTIONS

Analog Audio Connections

Balanced connections allow to minimize the cable induced noise, so cable can be longer. Such connections may be used both on inputs and outputs.

XLR connector must be cabled with pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to hot (+) and pin 3 to cold (-). With shielded cables, connect the shield to pin 1.

XLR-XLR e XLR-Jack 1/4"(6,3 mm) connection cables can be used to connect the AC26N.

text_image Input XLR - female Pin 2 = Positive/Hot+VE Phase Pin 1 = Screen/Ground/Earth Pin 3 = Negative/Cold+VE Phase Output XLR - Male Pin 1 = Screen/Ground/Earth Pin 2 = Positive/Hot+VE Phase Pin 3 = Negative/Cold+VE Phase

DB Technologies AC26N - Analog Audio Connections - 2

The unbalanced connections can also be used. However, the cable induced noise increases and cable length must not exceed 5 meters.

Such connections may be used both on inputs and outputs.

Unbalanced connection may lower the level of the input signal up to 6dB; in order to overcome this drawback, connect pin 3 to ground, although this can increase the noise.

DB Technologies AC26N - Analog Audio Connections - 4

Digital Audio Connections (AES/EBU)

AES/EBU (AES3 protocol) is and a balanced input, electrically insulated by means of a transformer. It allows carrying two audio channels in a single two-wires shielded cable. The cable characteristics are: twisted, 3 poles, impedance 100 ohm, shielded, equipped with XLR connector (AES3 standard)

RDnet

Each RDNet port on Control 2 and Control 8 can be connected to maximum 32 cascade-connected compatible devices.

In the example below, the control unit RDNET CONTROL 2 port is connected to the DATA INPUT of an AC 26N, whose parallel DATA LINK output is sent to the input of the next AC26N.

In the example, [n] is a number between 3 and 32 (maximum limit for the devices connected to a sub-network)

DB Technologies AC26N - RDnet - 1

The overall length of a CAT5 sub-network cable cannot exceed 900 meters.

The connector must be connected as follows:

1 - Available for other functions (for example: audio +)
2 - Available for other functions (for example: audio -)
3 - Available for other functions (for example: analog ground)
4 - digital ground

a) INPUT AND OUTPUT CHANNELS

The input and output connectors are identified by the same information provided on the screen printing located on the device rear side.

b) SIGNAL LEVEL

It shows the signal gain The increased signal intensity is expressed in decibels (dB). Such parameter can be selected in the range from -80.00 dB to +20.00 dB in steps of 0.01 dB.

An increase of 6 dB is approximately equal to doubling - in a linear scale - the signal voltage level

If the gain exceeds 0 dB the signal is amplified, while if the gain is lower than 0 dB the signal is attenuated.

c) SIGNAL DELAY

The reproduced audio signal may be delayed to perform an acoustic alignment. This compensates for the different positions of the speakers during the installation and the sound reproduction; it is expressed in ms. The parameter can be selected in the range from 0.0 ms to 72.9 ms in steps of 0.1 ms.

The following formula can be used to align an audio signal:

Delay = (GAPx1000)/344

Delay = ms (in milliseconds)

GAP = distance between speaker and reference point (in meters)

Speed of sound = 344 m/s

d) MUTE

Each channel can be individually muted. The same command can be activated in the Meters Menu.

NOTE: The general mute has the highest priority with respect to the muting of individual channels.

e) Phase

It performs a phase rotation of 180^ with respect to the input signal.

Such phase rotation allows the optimization, in special way for low frequencies in complex installations.

DB Technologies AC26N - e) Phase - 1

f) EQUALIZATION

This control opens the menu controlling the single channel equalization. It is mainly used to correct one or more frequencies that must be reduced or increased.

The AC26N manages 12 filters for each individual channel input and output, with three different kinds of configuration:

  • PEQ Equaliser (peaking equalizer); ideal to identify, isolate and correct only a certain range of frequencies. All frequencies pass, only those around the centre frequency are increased and decreased, for a given bandwidth and set gain.
  • High-shelf Equalizer. All frequencies pass, but frequencies above the selected cut-off frequency are increased or attenuated by the given gain.
  • Low-shelf Equalizer. All frequencies pass, but frequencies below the selected cut-off frequency are increased or attenuated by the given gain.

Identification of the output channel to set

b) IDENTIFICATIONS OF THE INPUTS

It selects the type of signal to match each output, as needed. It is possible to select:

In R Associated with the input signal "A"

In B Associated with the input signal "B"

In A+B Associated with the algebraic sum of the two input signals "A" and "B"

Allows to display the system settings, such as the allocation of the inputs and outputs, attenuation, display contrast and firmware version

InA-B Src

This option allows to set the type of input audio signal.

An. In = Analog audio signals (inputs A and B)

Dig.In = Digital audio signals (AES/EBU input)

Diq.Out Src

This option allows to select the audio source that will be forwarded to the connector AES/EBU OUT (digital output)

An. In = Audio signals available at analog inputs

Dig. In = Audio signals available at digital inputs

OUT 1-2 = Audio signals available on outputs 1 and 2

OUT 3-4 = Audio signals available on outputs 3 and 4

OUT 5-6 = Audio signals available on outputs 5 and 6

Input Mode

It allows to configure the inputs.

Indip. = They are independent, not subject to constraints of any kind between them

Linked = They are connected and work in stereo mode

Compressors, filters, delays, volume... are identical for the two channels

Atten. Pad

It shows how to set the -6 dB switch located on the rear side [Ref. 5]. It is necessary to activate this selector when the analog input levels are too high. The selector can be activated only by means of the button; the menu is for display only.

8 dB = Selector not activated.

The input signals are the same as the input source

-6 dB = Selector activated.

The input signals are attenuated by -6 dB with reference to the inner processor

Contrast

Allows to adjust the LCD display contrast to compensate for the brightness difference at the installation sites. Greater display brightness allows to navigate correctly and quickly within the menu.
