Our Protea System Processors (SPs) with DSP deliver premium sonic performance with an intuitive and user-friendly software platform.  The 4.8SP (4-in x 8-out) is a great choice for both live sound and use in fixed installations like worship facilities, schools and performance spaces.  Use the full Protea DSP Suitecrossover, equalization, compressor/limiter and delaywith up to 682ms on the input and the output, SPs serve as a front-end processor for delay stacks. 

SPs have front panel controls for immediate access to the settings during a dynamic, live performance.  The front and rear panel USB ports allow you to program the processors via Ashlys Protea Softwareand set a password-secured security system to prevent unauthorized tampering. 

The 4.8SP is the 4-in by 8-out model.  With active front panel controls, SPs are at home in a dynamic, live sound environment.  The USB inputs (front and rear panel) provide set-up via Protea Software, making SPs a great choice for permanent installations. 

A backlit 2 x 20-character LCD displays channel and function settings.  Dedicated front panel controls provide access to all audio functions and system tools.  There is a rear panel RS-232 port in addition to the USB ports. 

Advantages of using the software include greater preset capacity, and a very intuitive visual representation of the audio routing and control process.  A 6-foot (1.8m) USB-A to USB-B cable is provided.
