Description

The MERLIN ISP-100 provides the tools

the contractors need to get the job done.

They are tools designed to make the user

successful at audio, not computer program-

ming. The ISP-100 is designed with flex-

ibility in mind, providing a powerful tool

which allows you to adapt to ever-chang-

ing applications.

A versatile platform utilizing the latest in

DSP technology allows the ISP-100 to

quickly adapt to new market demands and

continually changing improvements and

advancements in semiconductors.

A series of predefined, signal path topolo-

gies, called QuickMAP™s are offered,

which enable the designer to quickly de-

fine the processing structure of the sys-

tem. This approach allows for a continua-

tion of new processing solutions and/or

variations, providing “market-specific”

templates to help minimize your design time

and increase your profit. In addition, we

offer a stand alone program,

QuickBUILD™, which allows system de-

signers to modify or create their own

QuickMAPs.

Integrated operations and functions sim-

plify the total audio system design. Inte-

gration eliminates extensive cabling, con-

nectors and components, along with mini-

mized noise and failures due to cables and

solder joints. The result of this consolida-

tion of processing is overall system per-

formance and audio integrity being greatly

increased.

An ergonomically designed software in-

terface called VUE-IT™ for the ISP-100 pro-

vides graphic control panels with the “con-

ventional” look and feel of signal proces-

sors. As well, the advanced and easy-to-

use filter tool graphically displays the con-

figuration of your filter block settings.

The ISP-100 is designed with modular in-

puts and outputs. This feature allows the

designer or installer to select between ana-

log input or output modules and/or a digi-

tal input/output combination module. The

modules are two channel units and can be

intermixed between analog and digital pro-

viding a variety of I/O combination possi-

bilities.

The ISP-100 supports a maximum of four

inputs with a maximum of eight outputs.

Combinations such as 2x2, 2x4, 2x6, 2x8,

4x2, 4x4, 4x6, or, for example, two in digital

by eight out analog could all be accommo-

dated by simply varying the I/O modules

within the same ISP-100 chassis. Our

QuickMAP software topologies support

most of the configurations with more in

development continually based on market

demand.

The ISP-100 provides a dynamic range

which rivals anything currently on the

market. The Audio Precision System II (the

testing standard for digital audio equip-

ment) resolves signals down to -128 dBFS;

at this level the ISP-100 is still performing

exceptionally. The ISP-100 noise floor mea-

sures -110 dB, typical, and maintains a

THD+N of less than 0.003%, typical. Due

to the design efficiencies, propagation time

is minimized in the ISP-100. Less than two

milliseconds of inherent delay is introduced

from any analog input to any analog out-

put with full processing.

Another measure of the flexibility designed

into the ISP-100 is the General Purpose In-

puts (GPI). GPIs allow multiple system con-

figurations to be selected without the need

for a PC to control the unit. GPIs are pro-

grammable dry contact closure interfaces

which allow user-supplied contact closures

to switch system settings directly to a de-

fined program and/or scroll through sys-

tem settings as desired.
