Behringer SPL3220 Stereo Multiband Sound Processor

Behringer SPL3220 Stereo Multiband Sound Processor
Whether in a club, a church or an outdoor festival, the ability to control sound volume has always been a challenge. Especially in today's regulatory environment, it is extremely important for proprietors to have a solution in place to prevent complaints and fines, and to protect their customers and sound system when an over-enthusiastic engineer decides to "crank it up". The EUROCOM SPL3220 offers the ideal solution, providing dependable, seamless full-loudness control without sacrificing the sonic integrity of the sound system, or listening pleasure of the audience.
Thanks to onboard, multiband Interactive Gain Control (IGC) and Interactive Knee Adaptation (IKA) compression, the SPL3220 allows you to apply processing with surgical precision for maximum punch and intelligibility without the audible artefacts associated with traditional, broadband dynamics processors. Additionally, the SPL3220 can be used for mix levelling and maximizing signal density at low volumes, where perceived loudness becomes even more important. Add to this the ability to enhance speech intelligibility and provide exceptional loudspeaker protection, while preserving dynamic range —and the EUROCOM SPL3220 becomes an essential part of any audio engineer's toolkit.
Professional XLR/TRS combination and Euroblock connectors provide ultimate versatility, allowing the SPL3220 to be inserted in-line prior to house amplification, no matter the configuration. Built-in hard-bypass relays ensure system protection and signal continuity in the event of a power failure or accidental disconnect. High-accuracy I/O Level and Gain Reduction meters plus an elegant, intuitive control panel make optimal system setup fast and easy. SPL3220's control panel access cover can even be sealed to prevent unauthorized access, providing total system security.
