From the Manufacturer
The Panaray digital controller is a complete solution for controlling Bose professional loudspeakers that require active equalization. Equalization for any combination of Bose loudspeakers can be accessed simply by selecting the appropriate preset. No programming is required. And when additional processing like delay and limiting is needed, the Panaray controller provides these features, allowing you to reduce the number of components needed for the installation.
The Panaray controller is engineered to grow as your needs do. Upgrading your speakers no longer means adding or changing controllers. Its DSP platform allows the software to be upgraded so the Panaray controller will not become obsolete.
By eliminating multiple controllers, the Panaray system digital controller consolidates all settings and system information into one central source for easy, efficient display and functionality. Troubleshooting becomes more accurate and immediate. And the special "lockout" feature prevents others from changing your settings once your installation is complete.
Standard presets in the Panaray controller used in conjunction with Bose Panaray MB4 speakers and bass array brackets let you create bass arrays at the touch of a button. Bass arrays enable you to control your bass energy -- directing the bass to the dance floor but not the bar, for example. The combination of the MB4 speaker, bass array brackets and the Panaray system digital controller provides a level of bass directivity unattainable in a typical conventional sound system.
Product Description
The Bose PANARAY system digital controller utilizes digital signal processing (DSP) architecture to provide smooth, accurate spectral response for any Bose professional loudspeaker product requiring active equalization (EQ) or additional processing. Any Bose professional loudspeaker EQ can be accessed by simply selecting the appropriate preset and configuration. No programming is required. The controller has two balanced XLR analog inputs and four balanced XLR outputs. It can be configured to run two mono Bose EQ presets or a single stereo Bose EQ preset (including preset crossover settings). Mains voltage: 100 to 240VAC, 50Hz to 60Hz (auto switching). Power consumption: < 15WIn addition to providing Bose speaker EQ presets, the controller also has the following easy-to-use programmable features:Four independent signal delays (200 ms per output) which can be used for decentralized or distributed speaker alignment and for creating custom bass arrays.Four independent output limiters that can be set to protect speakers from unpredictable spikes in program material.A programmable signal router which allows each output to select full-range and high- or low-pass combinations of input signals.Sample Rate: 44.1kHzConnectors: (2) XLR balancedImpedance balanced: 21k?Input level: Maximum: +18dBu / Minimum: 0dBuSensitivity: @9dB headroom: -12dBu to +9dBuA to D conversion: 24 bit, 128 x oversampling bitstreamDynamic range: 95dB typ, 20Hz - 20kHzTHD: ...
