Chapter 1: Introduction
This series including i4800 and i3600 are professional speaker processors that can realize a variety of DSP functions. This
series of products are integrated with compressors, limiters, frequency dividers, d ynamic EQ, delayers, equalizers, input
and output with FIR phase correction, and audio mixers. The matrix can be quickly debugged and monitored through
the beautiful and intuitive software, which provides a broad operating space for the construction and operation of
professional audio amplification systems. D4 represents the function of configuring 4 channels of Dante network audio
input and output interfaces.
