The New Hypex Fusion Plate amps

I am not working at Hypex.

Remote uses standard RC-5 codes, so you can use any programmable remote.

Okay, but you seem to have some connection to them.
Please, please please suggest them to make the remote interface and protocol more accessible!
RC-5 is only for infrared purposes. Since Hypex is adressing pro-audio users like me, I'd rather like something more tactile with USB connection.
I mean how great would it be to use something like RME Advance Remote Control together with these Fusion Amps. That would give hell of a monitor controler
RME: Remote Control
 
AFAIK, the DLCP also has 15 biquads per channel. So I am not sure if this is an issue at all.

15 is enough for me. Sub to start with. 4xHP, 2xLWT, 4x LP make 10 biquads; might add some small corrections with 3-4 biquads - mainly some warmth.
Then start to replace the main amp (300B, as if I’m crazy:eek:). Now full range 16 cm & tweeter at 96 dB efficiency; I am adding maybe 38cm at 95 dB. The Fusion amp should sreve this too .

I heard Grimm’s monitor and it was the best I heard for very long. So this ncore stuff is great coming from Grimms great enigineering team.
 
I am planning on using the Plate amps with the Viawave GRT-145 ribbon tweeter.
The manufacterer states that:
"With active filtering of the bands, it is necessary to provide protection from the DC voltage at the tweeter input, since there is a transformer at the tweeter input.
It can be a capacitor, or an LR chain, if the use of a capacitor is undesirable"

Is there dc voltage coming from the hypex amps?
What value capacitor is needed? (I plan on a 4th order crossover at min. 1800Hz).
What is a LR chain? :confused:

Thanks
 
It will be graceful you can brief explain the above implementation in slightly more details?

I'm too keen to replace the plateamp for my sub.

TIA

- I still have real vinyl LP's so need a sharp low cut at 24 dB/octave, using 4 biquads at 18 Hz
- A Linkwitz Transform gives a shelving low pass for correcting the 10 inch driver I am buying (Scanspeak 26W or maybe SEAS L26), uses another two. I will try a slightly higher Q because of the LPF on the bottom side.
- A steep high pass to get a center sub without much channel information, using a 24 dB slope again, using another 4 bi-quads.
Cannot give more details, this is what I intend, the plate is to be delivered and the software is a bootcamp partition I cannot reach simultatenous. Will post later.

There are biquad calculators that help me out in understanding it. i use the Linkwitz Transform Circuit design spreadsheet: on Elliott site, it is analog but as such easy to understand.
The calculations made by the MiniDSP calculus are instructive too: the Biquad filter spreadsheet.

When I'm in the next stage I can post examples.
 
I have been looking into the "protection department", yould anyone please add:

- is there a possibility to set limiters (RMS, Peak, etc..) in the DSP?
- If driven by heavy bass, how much is the PMS capable of putting out? Any spec sheets available for the product range?
- The modules don´t seem to be air tight. This calls for the need of an closed chamber in the box - how about thermal issues - is there a protection, forced cooling option?
- the powercon of the Successor was nice, any reason why it was ommited?

1 biquad is 12db, 2 biquads 24.

Use a capacitor calculated at 2 octaves below your x-over point.
