The AVE Digital Audio Processor (AVE48) is a high-performance professional audio solution designed for demanding sound reinforcement applications, featuring advanced 32-bit DSP processing and pristine 48KHz sampling that delivers studio-grade audio quality with comprehensive control over every aspect of your sound. Built around TI’s OMAP-L138 high-performance DSP chip, this processor delivers exceptional computing power of up to 3648 MIPS, while the 32-bit ADC and 24-bit DAC conversion ensures every nuance of your audio is captured and reproduced with remarkable clarity, maintaining an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of ≥110dB and THD+N of ≤0.002% for pristine sound quality in the most critical applications. Each channel receives dedicated processing with 11-band parametric EQ for precise tonal control across the entire frequency spectrum, along with independent high-pass and low-pass filters featuring multiple slope options including Butterworth, Bessel, and Linkwitz-Riley characteristics, input noise gates and compressors with full parameter control, brick-wall output limiters for speaker protection, and up to 2000ms of adjustable delay per channel for perfect time alignment in complex sound systems. Available in three versatile configurations—2 input/4 output, 3 input/6 output, or 4 input/8 output—the processor features a free routing matrix that enables complete flexibility by connecting any input to any output, an intuitive front panel with LCD screen and direct-access function buttons for quick adjustments during live events, multiple control options including Ethernet, USB, and RS-232 ports for seamless integration, 32 preset scenes for instant recall of different configurations, a built-in signal generator providing pink noise, white noise, and swept sine waves for system tuning, professional Neutrik XLR connectors, and a universal power supply (100V-240V) for reliable operation in any professional environment.
