DMS26

Technical brochure V1.0

Overview:

The DMS26 is a 2-in/6-out digital processor offering all the

necessary routing and distribution functionality for system

management. Primarily intended for the management

and processing of large systems, the DMS26 can also be

used for loudspeaker processing, as a replacement for a

non-dynamic analogue APG processor. Presets for Micro

Axial, Micro and Dispersion Series loudspeakers and

associated subwoofers are available on request.

The number of filtering, EQ and time-alignment functions

makes the DMS26 ideal for the management of FOH

systems, such as Matrix Array APG4000 and APG6000 in

conjunction with APG’s dynamic Matrix processors. The

combination of DMS26 for system management and APG

dynamic processors for active processing and loudspeaker

protection constitutes a highly sophisticated, versatile and

reliable solution for any APG system.

DMS26 may be configured and controlled via the front

panel or via the PWAPG software, which is quickly

installed, instantly usable and offers real-time remote

control of all relevant parameters. Networking capabilities

are available via an optional BVNETCARD card and

BVNETADAPT interface.

Benefits:

The DMS26 is characterised by the high quality

electronics that are an integral part of the design

concept. The use of high specification converters and

the quality of its design make for an unprecedented level

of performance. It has an extremely simple user interface

based on three velocity-sensitive rotary encoders which

provide instant access to most parameters.

Processing functions include:

On each input: Gain, High and Low-pass filters, High and

Low shelving, 6-band parametric EQ and delay.

On each output: Gain, Crossovers, High and Low

shelving, 6-band parametric EQ, phase reverse, delay

and limiter.

A complete set of parameters can be saved, and later

recalled, in any one of the 50 presets.

The PWAPG software enables remote control of the

device via an RS232 port or over a network using an

optional plug-in enabling BvNet connectivity.

. Remote control via a PC The APG DMS26 system processor may be remotely controlled in two different ways: - Via the onboard RS232 port This is an end-to-end link which only allows for the connection of a single device to the PC - Via the BvNet network (optional) BvNet is a high speed digital networking technology to enable the remote control and monitoring of APG DMS26 processors.

The BVNETADAPT interface This interface enables access to a BvNet network via a PC for remote control and monitoring of the devices on the network. It provides two connectivity options – RS232 serial port or USB. The device itself consists of a rugged steel box which will easily fit into any laptop computer bag, or in a standard 19” rack with the appropriate fixings (optional). An external power supply will also fit into the same 1U rack space.

6. Adapter cables Even though it is not recommended, (wrong impedance cable, non-adapted connectors, different electrical specifications etc. which can lead to electromagnetic compatibility problems and audible interference), it is possible to transport command signals through a microphone modulation cable or a multicore.

8. Wifi There are several “wireless device servers” on the market offering wireless connectivity over RS232 through a “Virtual Coms Port”. We have tested the following model: MOXA NPort W2150 - Up to 119 DMS26 - - - - - MOXA W2150 - - Digi connect wi sp DMS26 – BvNET Technical brochure V 1.0 Use the RJ45/SUBD9 cable to connect the WIFI device to the DMS26 or the BVNET ADAPT interface. Switch on the W2150 using an Ethernet cable connection rather than WiFi whilst the device is being configured.

9. Troubleshooting Podware couldn’t find any device. - - Have you selected the correct COM port in the “Network” menu? (“Network”, “com port” See Virtual Com Port below). Check that the LEDs are illuminated. Check the state and length of your cables. Ensure that the “TX” indicator flashes when you click on “online”.

Sundry Training APG organises a number of training days on the use of its product aimed at different areas of specialisation within the world of professional sound reinforcement. There are two levels of training: sound technician and sound engineer. Technical support APG’s technical support engineers offer an advanced level of ongoing technical support with the aim of finding the optimum solution from both a technical and economic point of view.
