Crown Audio DSi 8Mn Projection Booth Monitor for Network Digital Cinema Systems

Description The Crown DSi 8Mn is a projection booth monitor designed to work with digital cinema systems using the Crown DSi Series amplifiers. The unit is designed to meet remote-level and remote-audio monitoring requirements and expands upon the standard booth monitor to allow network monitoring of cinema audio for quality control purposes.Network monitoring of a large network operations center allows the manager to monitor auditorium audio from the office. The DSi 8Mn also serves the standard booth monitor purpose of allowing listening to various audio channels through the front-panel speaker or headphones.The front panel and a web browser provide all the controls necessary for the daily operation of the DSi 8Mn. Controls are easily accessible from the front panel or from a web browser interface. Eight-channel monitoring allows you to monitor either the inputs from the cinema processor or the power amplifier’s outputs: L,C, R, Ls, Rs, Lrs, Rrs, and LFEs in any combination.The rear panel provides Phoenix and HD-15 connectors for quick connection to power amplifiers. All inputs and outputs are balanced, and the unit features a universal power supply. There are no special tools required for installation. The built-in VU meter test jack provides the technician with immediate information about the status of the DSi 8Mn and all power amplifiers. The DSi 8Mn includes a power cord. FeaturesAt a GlanceMonitor hearing-impared and visually-impaired (HI and VI-N) signalsAll inputs and outputs are balanced to interface with modern amplifiersInput levels for processor and power amp monitoring can be adjusted independentlyBar graph display can be calibrated to the cinema reference level so projectionists can see the accurate auditorium levelsDB25 and HD-15 connectors for inputs and outputsEthernet RJ45 connector allows remote viewing of bar graphs and live audio streaming to server rooms or NOC centersMonitor biamp systems with up to four subwoofersFront-Panel InterfacePush button selection of audio channels to listen to, including HI and VI-NListen to processor output or amplifier outputListen to individual bands of biamp crossover whether located in processor or amplifierLED level indicator of channels being listened toFront panel control for speaker and headphone volumeInternal speakerFront-panel headphone jackNetwork User InterfaceWeb browser based (no software to install, use any operating system, monitor on desktop, or tablet computer)Bar graph display of all processor output or amplifier output levels (individual biamp bands if crossover in processor or amplifier)Streaming audio monitoring of selected audio channels or bands from processor or amplifier SpecificationsConnectorsEthernet: 10/100 MbpsAmplifier Returns Terminal Block: Left High, Left Low, Center High, Center Low, Right High, Right Low, Left Surround, Right Surround, Low-Right Surround, Rear-Right Surround, Spare, Low-Frequency Effects, and EffectsSurround and LFE Terminal Block: Left Surround, Right Surround, Effects, Low-Right Surround, Rear-Right Surround, Low-Frequency Effects, and Spare; also has Line Out TerminalsScreen and LFE Terminal Block: Left High, Left Low, Effects, Right High, Right Low, Center High, Center Low, and Low-Frequency EffectsHD-15 Connectors: Lrs/Rrs, SPARE, LFE3/LFE4, Rl/Rh, LFE1/LFE2, Ll/Lh, and Cl/Ch All Connect to Amplifiers for Both Input and Output SignalsCrossover and Spare Inputs: Receive Audio for the Left, Center, and Right Channels from the Processor or CrossoverMain Inputs: Connection Point from the Cinema Processor over 25-Pin ConnectorHI/VI-N Out: Receives Hearing Impaired (HI) and Visually Impaired (VI) Signals from the ProcessorFont Panel Test Jack / Headphone: 1/4″ / 6.35 mm Monitor Audio OutputAC Power Input: IEC ConnectorIndicators & ControlsChannel Select Buttons:8 Switches for Input ChannelsMonitors Signal from the Channel (Any Combination of Channels Can be Selected)Volume Control: Rotary Potentiometer with knob Controls Volume of Internal or External Speaker (No Effect on VU Bargraph Meter)Processor/Amplifier Switch: Switch with Corresponding LEDs Selects Inputs from Cinema Processor or Power Amplifiers for MonitoringLED: 8 Channels Processor/Amplifier SwitchVU Bargraph Meter:12-Segment MeterDisplays Input Level of Selected Channels from -40 VU to 3 VUCalibrate by Rear-Panel Trim AdjustmentOperates Independently of Volume ControlInput ImpedancesProcessor Inputs: 10 kOhmsAmplifier Inputs: >50 kOhmsPower100 to 240 Vrms, 50/60 Hz, 32 WDimensions16.9 x 10.4 x 3.4″ / 42.9 x 26.4 x 8.6 cmWeight9.6 lb / 4.4 kg
