FFA F48S MATRIX DSP

FFA F48S MATRIX DSP Product Image

Exceptional sound quality and user versatility

FFA F48S has premium sound quality with instant access to parameters using front panel controls for tour or FOH sound

Inputs and outputs are software switched in channel pairs between analogue and AES/EBU. The F48S software flexibility ensures ease of system design.

Audio compression is specified on each input. High pass filter, 8 bands of parametric EQ, a 28 band graphic EQ, 3 bands of dynamic EQ and up to 1.3 seconds of delay are all part of the specification.

Routing to outputs can be configured to either mix-matrix mode, free-routing or several pre-configured routing options. Flexible channel linking enables quick and easy configuration of common loudspeaker systems.  Extensive filter types are specified with 16 bands of parametric EQ and up to 1.3 seconds of delay. The limiter section features Predictive eXcursion Limiter (PXL) algorithm designed to offer precise loudspeaker power control with the lowest distortion.

Front panel control gives instant mute of input or output, editing of all parameters and recall of presets. 

FATWARE Ethernet based control software for PC, Mac and iPad gives the ability to not only control all the devices on a network but also to store preset memories and pre - configure systems offline.

The unit has an output matrix of all channels and have 4 XLR balanced audio inputs and 8 XLR balanced audio outputs
