DMP SERIES
Digital Matrix Processors and Automatic Mixers
The Asystems DMP8800 digital matrix processor
promise simple integration into any live commercial
setup. These systems combine smart signal processing
with a exible modular mixing matrix. Sound complex?
It’s not, because all routing and processing is adjusted
through a simple, intuitive graphical user interface.
DMP8800 processors provide racks-full-o-gear in
a modest 2 unit construct. Combining many great
products into a simple design, the DMP8800 simplies
your installation and saves you money. The input and
output count on the DMP8800 are ideal for small-to-
medium sized venues, with possible expansion for
larger venues through optional 8x8 networking.
With extensive onboard signal processing, flexible
matrix routing and optional Dante audio interface
capabilities, the DMP8800 matrix processors do
it all. Asystems engineers have also ingrained
each DMP8800 with versatile and extensive signal
processing, including full 31-band GEQs, 4-band
parametric EQs, compressors, limiters, gates, auto-
mixing and auto-leveling, and page ducking. All
control is accomplished through the included Windows
software that allows for remote operation through local
area networks or the internet. With password protected
user accounts, extensive scheduling capabilities, and
flexible audio networking (optional), the DMP8800
digital matrix processor is a exible yet reliable center
for any commercial installation.
Designed specically for installed sound, the Asystems'
DMP808 automatic mixers combine clean, simple
designs with smart signal processing. These systems
offer fast-acting, noise-free microphone normalization
that automatically adjusts to changes in background
room noise. This essentially helps maintain high
quality audio despite the number of open microphones.
Networking capabilities allow integration of any number
of DMP808 mixers for expanding the system to up to
400 microphones.
Input on the DMP808 is achieved through professional-
standard 3-pin euroblock connectors for balanced
connections. Two sets of stereo RCA connectors are
also included for extended application. All inputs and
outputs are utilized through the flexible matrix routing
system, controlled via the included user-intuitive PC
software. This software also allows you to control the
extensive on-board signal processing, including 4-band
parametric EQs, feedback silencers, duckers, noise-
gates, compressors, limiters and, of course, automatic
mixing including NOM (Number of Open Microphones)
compensation. With flexible networking capabilities
(including a Dante networking option) and highly
accurate automixing, the DMP808 automatic mixer is a
must-have for all large commercial installations.

DMP SERIES
Digital Matrix Processors and Automatic Mixers
Designed specically for installed sound, the Asystems'
DMP801 automatic mixers combine clean, simple
designs with smart signal processing. These systems
offer fast-acting, noise-free microphone normalization
that automatically adjusts to changes in background
room noise. This essentially helps maintain high quality
audio despite the number of open microphones.
Input to the DMP801 is achieved through professional-
standard 3-pin euroblock connectors for balanced
connections. All inputs and outputs are controlled
via the included user-intuitive Windows software.
This software allows you to control the extensive on-
board signal processing, including 4-band parametric
EQs, feedback silencers, compressors, limiters and,
of course, automatic mixing including NOM (Number
of Open Microphones) compensation. With flexible
networking control capabilities and highly accurate
automixing, the DMP801 automatic mixer is a must-
have for all large commercial installations.
Designed uniquely for sound reinforcement scenarios,
the Asystems DMP81 Digital Automatic Mixer combines
intuitive operation with state-of-art signal processing
technology. Asystems DMP81 features 8 mic/line
inputs via balanced Euroblock connectors, all of which
offer selectable +48V phantom power for condenser
microphones. The 8 1/4” TRS insert jacks can directly
route incoming signal to external sound processing
devices, or simply be used as additional input or output
connectors. All channels are equipped with front-panel
low- and high-pass lter control.
The DMP81 automatic mixer's adaptive threshold
distinguishes uctuating audio signals from background
noise and continuously adjusts the audio signal to be
louder than background noise. Furthermore, when
several channels “receive” one particular signal source,
DMP81 can be set to control the number of channels
that activate when triggered by one signal source
through which the best input quality is guaranteed
for every input channel. The last input source lock-on
feature keeps the most recently used channel activate
to get a natural uninterrupted signal ow.
Asystems DMP81 also provides a 1/4” headphone
output jack, an AUX input jack (both are with level
control knob), and LED indicators, offering intuitive
control that caters a wide-range of system setups.

The DMP8800, DMP808,
and DMP801 software offers
a number of digital signal
processors that can activated
at will on any of the input
and output mixes. This page
will also allow you to edit the
names of input and output
mixes.
Up to 4 signal processors
can be added to each of
the individual inputs and
outputs on the DMP8800 and
DMP808, with delay, VCAs,
graphic equalizers, parametric
equalizers, feedback silencers,
and more all available.
Channel Matrix
This page allows you to
adjust the signal flow of the
inputs from both the input
channels and the network
function. Numerous controls
commonly found on analog
mixers can also be found on
this page, laid out in a familiar
analog style. Level faders can
be adjusted, as well as the
panning, on/off status, phase
invert, ducking and ALC status,
and automixing. Meters are
also included on this page for
monitoring incoming signals
and mixes. It also allows direct
access to the signal generator
and SD card audio player (SD
card playback available on the
DMP8800 only).

Events
Pre-program events into the
DMP8800 and DMP808 digital
matrix processors. Using
the event scheduler you can
determine what kind of event
you wish to schedule, whether
it be power on or a memory
recall, and when the event
should occur – right down
to the minute. You can even
program the unit to play music
at a specic time on a specic
day. This feature allows you to
set routinely scheduled events,
such as musical interludes or
power disable, or single events
that may involve channel
muting or level adjustment.
Security
Up to 8 user profiles can be
activated on the DMP8800,
DMP808, and DMP801. Users
can define their own user
names, while each account is
protected by a user-defined
password. User accounts
provide a means to ensure
there is no unauthorized access
to the control software.

Asystems offers the RM series of remote controls for the DMA
series of digital matrix amplifiers. The RM-2VR offers remote
level control of up to two channels o󰀨 a single control, while the
RM-4 can be used to recall presets at the touch of a button. The
RM-6E is a microprocessor-based control unit with 6 function
select buttons and 2 parameter buttons for controlling a range of
assigned functions within the connected product.
Remote Connections
Multiple units of the RM remote controls can be utilized at any
one time. The RM-2VR and RM-4 can be connected to the DMA
using euroblock connectors. The RM-6E includes RJ-45 ports for
connection, as well as 3 DIP switches for setting the remote ID.
For more exible commercial installations, the RM series is the
ideal companion to the Asystems DMP matrix processors.
