Q-SYS DPM-300H 10-Channel Digital Cinema Audio Processor

QSC’s DPM is a powerful solution for today’s D-Cinema audio systems. From server to speakers, the DPM offers a complete set of tools to facilitate all the signal processing, audio distribution, monitoring, and automation control services required in a modern D-Cinema sound system.

The DPM builds on the legacy of QSC’s DCM and DCP products to provide all signal processing and monitoring functions for Digital Cinema in a single integrated system. Designed to be used with QSC’s Digital Cinema Amplifiers (DCA) and featuring advanced Intrinsic Correction™ settings for QSC’s Digital Cinema Speakers (DCS), the DPM optimizes loudspeaker performance while simplifying cinema sound system wiring and configuration.

The DPM 100 and DPM 100H are configurable for passive and bi-amp operation. The DPM 300 and 300H are also configurable for tri-amp and quad-amp operation. Though optimized to receive audio content directly from a D-Cinema server, the DPM is also compatible with all analog cinema processor formats and features an 8-channel analog input for integration with 35 mm audio systems.

The DPM is more than an audio processor. Whether designing a system for a single auditorium or designing a large multiplex, the DPM offers the flexibility in configuration, networking, audio distribution, and advanced management services to get the job done.
