UX48 Owners Manual11EAW UX48 Introduction and Key FeaturesIntroductionThe EAW UX48 Advanced System Processor represents current state-of-the-art technology. Taking advantage ofthe latest advances in Analog to digital conversion and digital signal processing technologies the unit achievesperformance levels among the very best that engineering permits. Below is a list of key features, followed bysome information on the major advancements of the UX48 feature set.Key Features– EAW minimal signal path design– 48kHz sampling frequency– Three rotary encoders, illuminated buttons and graphical display provide a rapid, intuitive and user-friendlycontrol interface– High speed capable and flexible Ethernet communications that supports DHCP, static-IP and auto-IP anddirect connection to a computer– Class leading sonic performance achieved by the use of state of the art converters, a 4th GenerationAnalog Devices Sharc DSP and highly advanced DSP algorithms– Linear phase HF system EQ profiling which provides perfect integration between enclosures– Dante audio networking with automatic fall over to Analog or AES3– AES3 inputs and outputs, switchable in pairs– High performance ‘universal mains’ switch mode power supplyGreyboxes include:EAW FocusingBy deploying advanced signal processing EAW Focusing corrects for mechanicallyinduced anomalies in the loudspeakers acoustic system and provides a pureimpulse response. This means the sound you hear is true to the original version freefrom time smear created by intra-cabinet reflections.Crossover SettingsWhat is a Greybox?A Greybox is a file that includes everything you need to get optimal performance from an EAW loudspeaker.‘White’ component that is user accessible. ‘Black’ component that is EAW-provided and locked down.Mix together = Grey.DynO (where applicable) & limitersDynamic Optimization, which maximizes the output of every passband. This tangiblyincreases output over what would otherwise be possible.
