DMP108

Digital audio matrix/automatic mixer with DSP, 10 inputs, 8 outputs The complexity of professional audio installations necessitates equipment able to process, distribute and control signals throughout the entire set-up. Tutondo’s DMP108 offers this possibility: a matrix and automatic mixer in rack format, with its DSP (Digital Signal Processing), multi-room functions for controlling six different outputs and the possibility of individually controlling the microphone or line signal of each input and output channel, this professional-class unit is versatile and extremely useful for audio installations in conference rooms, sports centres, multi-function halls, places of worship, hotels, etc.

The 3" front display showing settings enables to control the unit and check operation in real time; dedicated software, with an effective user-friendly graphic interface, also allows remote control of the settings and precise fine-tuning of the audio system.

DMP108 provides a complete series of settings for incoming signals: it has ten inputs, eight of which are balanced (mic/line) with three-pin Euroblock connectors and the remaining two line inputs with RCA connectors. Each channel has numerous control possibilities: 1/1 octave three-band graphic equalizer with second-order high-pass and low-pass filters (12 dB/octave) with adjustable cut-off frequency and compressor/limiter. Each mic input also features switchable phantom power.

It has eight balanced outputs with Euroblock connectors and two unbalanced outputs with RCA connectors. Every output has a feedback suppressor and four of the outputs can be controlled to create delay lines, very useful for aligning loudspeaker systems. Each output is fitted with 1/3 octave nine-band equalizer, two-band parametric equalizer and two second-order high-pass/low-pass filters, which also have selectable cut-off frequency. This feature enables to obtain a crossover system with up to six mono channels or up to three stereo channels, with a 12 or 24 dB slope per octave. As an automatic digital mixer, it offers several functions not available on traditional mixers: with speech reinforcement systems, the automatic mixer function enables to raise the useable gain by up to 9 dB (before feedback), which can be done in complete safety, thanks to the fact that each output channel has a specific feedback suppressor able to further increase the system’s stability.

OhL subwoofer + Lamp

Although launched on the market recently, OhL has already become a classic of the design world, a perfect example of how to combine sound quality and luminous fascination.

OhL is the result of the intuition of young designer José Merla Laguna, who combined in a single eye-catching object the influence given by the luminous spectrum and those offered by sound vibrations, from light to sound waves of the music, the pleasure of vision to the art of sound. The result is OhL, self-powered active subwoofer that is powerful and technically advanced and that, in its streamlined winning design, combines sound and light diffusion. OhL is the proof of aesthetic research able to offer new possibilities even to technical development: inspired by the functioning and shape of pipe organs, it is able to reproduce low notes that other non-electronic instruments can not reach. Beauty merges with technology.

OhL is a self-powered (Class D) subwoofer, with a frequency response ranging from 20 to 150 Hz (± 3 dB); it houses a 200 mm diameter double coil and has various settings that enable to adjust emission according to personal preferences and the characteristics of the music in question (Volume, Cut-off Frequency low/pass, Roll/off compensation); OhL is a perfect complement for multi-room systems, and adds depth to the listening experience.

OhL was conceived, designed and manufactured in Italy by Tutondo, the research group that already created the “Oh by Tutondo” system, composed of loudspeaker with a double vocation: offer a high quality sound and, thanks to their very particular design, becoming a perfect aesthetic complement of stylish environments, for a new lifestyle, a new way of living.
