1 INTRODUCTION
The LMS608 is a complete digital loudspeaker management system designed for the
touring or fixed sound installation markets. The absolute latest in available technology
is utilized with 64-bit floating point processors and high performance 24-bit Analogue
Converters. The high-bit DSP prevents noise and distortion induced by truncation
errors of the commonly used 24-bit fixed-point devices. A complete set of parameters
include I/O levels, 2 second-delay per channel, polarity, 10 bands of parametric EQ
per channel, multiple crossover selections, full function compressor and peak limiter.
Precise frequency control is achieved with its 1 Hz resolution. Inputs and outputs can
be routed in multiple configurations to meet any requirements.
The LMS608 can be controlled or configured in real time on the front panel or with the
intuitive PC/Mac GUI accessed via the USB interface or Ethernet. Software upgrade
for CPU and DSP via PC keeps the device current with newly developed algorithms
and functions once available. Multiple setup storage and system security complete
this professional package.

audio input and output. The device's output stage employs the balanced
impedance topology. All I/O connectors have pin 1 as ground (shield), pin 2 as +
and pin 3 as -.
D) Ethernet port –RJ45 connector to connect with the PC via Ethernet. Use CAT-5
or CAT-6 cable.
E) AES/EBU Input –This XLR connector accepts a 2-channel digital input in
AES/EBU or S/PDIF format, 16 or 24-bit. Supported sample rates are 44.1, 48,
88.2 and 96 kHz.
4 QUICK INSTALLATION
4.1 Before you start
Before powering up the unit, make sure that the input and output XLR cables are in
good state and following the following pinning diagram: 1 for shield, 2 for live(+), 3 for
return (-) as defined by the AES14 standard.
Do not connect the unit to your computer before installing the software and the USB
Driver. Please refer to installation instructions in this manual.
When connecting the LMS608 to the amplifiers, mute the LMS608 outputs (or turn
down the amplifier’s volume knobs) until you configure your processing. Loudspeakers
may be damaged due to a wrong setup. It is advisable to unmute first the high
frequency channels: in case they are connected to low frequency drivers by mistake,
they cannot be damaged. Otherwise, high frequency speakers may be damaged
because of trying to reproduce low frequencies.
4.2 Power Up
After powering up the unit, all LEDs will be lit for about six seconds, while the following
message is displayed on the LCD:

After that, the LMS608 unit displays its main screen:
Now the LMS608 unit is ready to operate. The screen shows the name of the unit
(above line) and the program name currently active (below line). The program
assigned is always the last program the user recalled or stored before powering down
the unit.
An admiration mark (!) beside the program name means that the program has been
modified but not stored. This symbol does not appear when the modified program is
the default preset.
4.3 1 Control Software
The LMS608 units are shipped with a Computer Software which provides a Graphic
User Interface (GUI) application - DSPLink. DSPLink allows the user to control the
LMS608 unit from a computer via the USB communication link or through Ethernet, in
models. For the USB connection, a driver must be installed (included with the DSPLink
installation package).
The GUI application makes it much easier to control and monitor the device, allowing
the user to get the whole picture on one screen. Programs can be recalled and stored
from/to Computer’s hard drive, thus expanding the storage to become virtually
limitless. See Section 6 of this manual for instructions to operate the software.
DSPLink is available for PC and Mac. A USB pen drive or CD-ROM with the software
is included in the original package of the unit. Check Amate Audio’s website for a latest
version download (www.amateaudio.com/DSPLink).
Installation for PC-Windows:
Double click the installation file, depending whether you have a 32 or a 64-bit system:
Amate_Audio_DSPLink_32_bit_v_10_X_X_BuildNr.msi
Amate_Audio_DSPLink_64_bit_v_10_X_X_BuildNr.msi
Follow the on-screen instructions. You may be prompted to install the Microsoft Visual
Runtime libraries before finishing the installation. Click the checkbox to proceed with
this action.
Installation for Mac:
First unzip the provided installation file:
Amate_Audio_DSPLink_v_10_X_X_BuildNr.mpkg.zip
Then select the .mkpg file with CONTROL+Click and select “Open”. Then follow the
on-screen instructions.

4.4 Connecting the device to a computer
4.4.1 USB
WARNING: Always install the software package DSPLink before connecting your unit
to the computer. See previous section for details.
After installing DSPLink, please use the provided USB cable to connect the unit to
your computer. The first time you connect a device, the system will ask you to look for
the driver. Choose the option “do not look for updates and to automatically select the
best driver”.
Run DSPLink and the unit will be automatically detected.
Click on the arrow next to the detected unit to open the window for parameter edition.
4.4.2 Ethernet
Use a standard CAT5 or CAT6 cable with RJ45 connectors (not supplied) to connect
the unit to your Local Area Network. The most convenient way is to connect it to a
router that provides automatic IP addresses (DHCP enabled), and that is sharing the
same network with the computer in which you are running DSPLink. In this case the
unit will be detected and configured automatically.
For direct connection with a computer, or through a switch not supporting DHCP, then
you can either let your computer get an automatic IP of the ZeroConfig range, or
assign a fixed IP to it:
To obtain an automatic IP in the ZeroConfig range:
1. Connect the unit to the switch or computer. The computer network card’s
settings must specify “Obtain an automatic IP” (by default)
2. DSPLink will detect the unit through its MAC address.
3. After some time (it may take a couple of minutes), the system will assign the
address and notify the message “This connection has limited or no
connectivity”.
To set a fixed IP in the ZeroConfig range:
1. Open your Network Connection settings and edit TCP/IP address
2. Set the IP in the ZeroConfig Range (169.254.0.0 –169.254.255.255)
3. Set a Subnet Mask as 255.255.0.0.
4. Other parameters such as Gateway or DNS Servers may be left blank.
5. Connect the unit to the network where your computer is connected to.
6. DSPLink will detect the unit

4.5 System Optimization
In order to have a proper start of your system and an optimized configuration, follow
these steps by the first configuration:
1. Play a signal at the nominal level from your mixing desk, and set the input gain
of your processor to 0dB (Default Preset setting)
2. Set the crossovers that you want to use, while keeping the output gains also at
0dB.
3. With DISCONNECTED loudspeakers, turn up the volume of the power
amplifiers entirely clockwise (full volume).
4. Reduce the output gain and / or the output limiter setting to get the desired gain,
so that the amplifier is just clipping and the built-in limiters of your processor
are just limiting (Orange led blinking at the output channels).
5. Turn down the volume of the power amplifiers, connect your speakers, and
slowly increase the volume while checking the sound.
6. Check if the loudspeakers are reproducing distortion-free sound, and the limiter
LEDs are flashing or off, but not continuously on. If they are continuously on,
reduce the output gain of your processor.
7. If you cannot reach enough signal level, increase the processor's input gain or
turn up the level from your mixing desk.

A true RMS compressor can be set to avoid the input signal go above a certain RMS
value. The following parameters can be adjusted:
• Thr. - Compressor Threshold. Sets the level at which the compressor will activate.
• Att. - Attack time. Time it takes the compressor to start actuating after reaching the
threshold.
• Hold - Hold time. Sets up a delay before the compressor enters the release cycle.
Useful for compressing low frequency long notes.
• Rel. - Release time. Time the compressor uses to return to unity gain after the signal
is below the threshold.

• Gain –The compressor make up Gain. Use it in case the level of the compressed
signal must be corrected (0dB by default)
5.1.7 Limiter
A peak-limiter can be set at each input. It is a zero attack time limiter, so it will
immediately act on the signal. The parameters that can be changed are:
