Important developments in the electronic register are available at APG !

 

APG provides turnkey solutions with modular amp racks (UNIRACK & TOURACK) that improve usability and standardisation of APG systems.

Uniline system preset V2 available for DMS48. Performance, reliability and ease of use is boosted again!

The latest firmware for DMS48 processor brings significant improvements, especially the front panel LCD that becomes clearer. This now displays the of routing inputs, DSP, output modules and the names of DSP presets.

PodWare, the dedicated control software for DMS48, gains various improvements to make it more intuitive, easier to use as well as increasing stability.

  • The four modules in DMS48 now offer 12x overlays on groups (each has 2x lo shelf, 6x parametric EQ, parametric hi-shelf FIR, gain and delay). The parameters for each group are overlaid bringing a virtual control panel with master controls. The EQ and Level of sections of the PA, for exapmple L&R, Fills, etc.. can now be controlled globally.

  • Eq Palette gives four memories for quick comparisons of Eq, users "preferred" settings for wedges etc. A graphical palette lets you quickly save and recall different equalisation by simple drag / drop.

  • Navigation is easy with the quick access buttons to the 4 in / 8 out panel of settings.

 

This APG touring standard power platform can be fully integrated into 2 types of standardized racks delivered ready to use:

  • UNIRACK: Universal solution for all APG products in a 3U portable rack. It provides 4 inputs / 4 DSP modules / 4 amplified outputs.
  • TOURACK: Optimized solution for FOH kits and bi-amplified wedges in a 10U rack. It provides 4 inputs / 4 DSP modules / 8 amplified outputs.

These two racks have the same size (height excluding) and can be stacked and interlock together. A wheel board (TFCWB) in the same modular format is also available for transport.They can be operated on a standard Ethernet network, 10M/100M, CPL or WiFi.These racks made their arrival in APG providers inventory internationally, especially in the Uniline Technical Solution Network.

The Uniline system itself benefited from the new performance brought through this platform with a new and extended version of preset bank, faster and easier to tune. There is also new specific presets for small size Plug & Play Uniline configurations, and it includes the new modular subwoofer UL118B.
