DSP functions, including parametric EQ, delay, muting, gain and preset selection, can be controlled over Ethernet from a PC or Windows® tablet via intuitive VU-NET™ proprietary software.
For simple set-ups, ‘plug-and-play’ presets for operation with the CDD-LIVE 8, CDD-LIVE 12 or CDD-LIVE 15. As well as a user-defined preset, it can be selected on the rear panel, instead of using computer control. Additional presets provide the appropriate settings for the rear-facing subwoofer in a cardioid pair.
