QSControl.net Network: Basis + Rave

BASIS

BASIS processors include Amplifier and Loudspeaker Management, Configurable DSP and CobraNet Digital Audio Transport in a compact 1RU device. BASIS processors can be generally considered a superset of the RAVE and DSP 322ua devices.

Automatic Power Limiting* is one of the most powerful features of the BASIS products. This technology establishes a feedback loop between QSC's speakers and amps that assesses the driver's thermal response to the true power delivered to it and uses this information to dynamically limit the power allowed to reach the driver. Power Limiting has no effect on the sound until the designated thermal limit is exceeded, beyond which the power to the driver is reduced to a safe level. This maximizes each loudspeaker's performance without exceeding its safe operating range.

Previous configurable DSP systems have often suffered from the problem of variable latency for signal propagating through different processing paths. QSC has solved this problem by yielding a short, fixed processing latency through its DSP subsystem, regardless of the signal path.

BASIS processors connect directly to the DataPort on select QSC amplifiers, providing network control and monitoring of amplifier functions. All models incorporate the DSP functions discussed in Venue Manager Software.

RAVE

In addition to its Digital Audio Transport functions, the RAVE 522ua incorporates DSP functions controlled by Venue Manager Software.

DSP 322ua

The DSP 322ua operates under QSControl.net but without CobraNet Digital Audio Transport capability. It incorporates DSP functions controlled by Venue Manager Software.

* BASIS Automatic Power Limiting is patented by QSC (U.S. patent number 6,940,981)

All of the BASIS, RAVE and DSP devices operate under the same Venue Manager software . The units differ by the inputs and outputs that they offer.

Connector Types:

• 1: Analog Line Level and Universal Mic/Line via 3-pin "phoenix style" (euro style) detachable terminal blocks. XLR inputs are balanced XLR/TRS combo connectors. (Pin 1/Tip: Hot, Pin 2/Ring: Cold, Pin3/Sleeve: Shield)
• 2: 25-pin DB-25 style AES/EBU electrically balanced, 48 kHz sample rate
• 3: RJ45 connector
• 4: HD-15 Dataport connector
• 5: 5-pin "phoenix style" (euro style) detachable terminal block
