Protea System II Digital Processors
4.24G GRAPHIC EQUALIZER/SYSTEM PROCESSOR
The Protea Series 4.24G digital equalizer offers true 24-bit resolution from input to output and provides you unparalleled audio
processing power for a wide range of applications—monitor systems, front of house PAs, commercial sound installations requir-
ing fixed and tamperproof equalization, recording and broadcast studios, Surround-Sound™, digital audio workstations, and
computer recording applications.
The 4.24G has all the audio processing tools needed for flawless graphic equalization and sound control. In addition to 28
bands of 1/3-octave EQ, the 4.24G features a programmable compressor/limiter for general compression or speaker protec-
tion, and programmable delay of up to 1.364 sec. for time compensation of speaker clusters, arrays, or monitor speakers.
Individual, programmable 24dB/octave high- and low-pass filters allow you to zero in and fine tune the audio spectrum.
A large 240 x 64 fluorescent backlit display keeps you constantly informed of every parameter, function and utility. Full control
of the 4.24G is available from the front panel in an intuitive and straightforward layout—it’s as intuitive as using your famil-
iar analog equalizer. When used with the 4.24RD Full-function Remote Control, leveling a system becomes a breeze. Imagine
standing anywhere in the room with your sound system or monitors and adjusting your EQ on the spot! No running back and
forth between your sound source and the board to make EQ adjustments. The Protea system can also be expanded to provide
up to 16 channels of digital equalization with the addition of the 2- and 4-channel slave units, which can be easily controlled
from the 4.24G main unit, from the 4.24RD remote control, or by using a PC running the included Protea System Software.
Never before has equalization been this powerful and simple at the same time.
