Sound Town MODE Audio 4x8 FIR DSP Speaker System Processor for Line Array Management, Factory Presets, Supports Dante/AES (MTD48-D8)
The MODE Audio MTD48-D8 is a high-performance, rack-mountable 4-in / 8-out DSP loudspeaker management processor designed for demanding professional applications. Featuring a powerful 32-bit floating-point DSP core and 96kHz/24-bit sampling rate, it delivers pristine audio quality with ultra-low system delay. This processor provides precise control for both live sound reinforcement and sophisticated fixed installations, ensuring consistent, transparent performance and exceptional dynamic range across the full audio spectrum.
At its core, the MTD48-D8 incorporates enhanced Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters, offering 4x1280 taps on inputs and 8x2048 taps on outputs for superior linear phase correction and magnitude response shaping. This processing power enables precise speaker optimization and advanced line array management. Connectivity is highly versatile, including 4-channel balanced XLR analog/AES digital inputs, 8 balanced XLR outputs, and 8-channel Dante network audio I/O with full primary/backup support. Additional connection options include Ethernet, RS-232, and USB ports for flexible integration in any setup.
Designed for efficient control, the MTD48-D8 features a backlit LCD front panel and intuitive MCONSOLE software for Windows, providing full PC operation and visual signal routing. Speaker presets allow engineers to create and password-protect custom curves for different speaker types, while project presets store complete system configurations for streamlined multi-device deployment. The comprehensive DSP suite includes 15-band input PEQ, 10-band output PEQ, and 15-band speaker preset PEQ, along with dynamic EQ, noise gate, compressor, expander, limiter, delay, matrix mixing, and multiple filter types. With up to 30 user memory preset slots and device, project, and archive locks, the MTD48-D8 delivers secure, versatile workflows for complex audio environments.
