Page 5: Apex 2011

Apex (Audio Products of EXcellence), a name and logo synonymous for quality.

Apex has been active in the professional audio industry since 1990, with our first development being the PE-133, which uniquely combined a graphic equaliser and multiple parametric/notch filters in a single device. At the time of its release, our ParaGraphic equaliser was an absolute first in the market.

Our goal has always been to be innovative in design whilst striving for sonic excellence, both in the analogue and digital domains. Our design team consists of a mixture of experienced and young engineers. The majority of Apex products are manufactured in Belgium, and each unit undergoes detailed quality control procedures.

This third edition of our brand new catalogue contains exiting new products within the intelli-Series. The future will see a further expansion of our product portfolio with analogue and digital devices being released aimed predominantly at the live sound and installation markets…

N E W The new Intelli-series consists of two system

management devices, Intelli-X²26 (2 in, 6 out) and Intelli-X²48 (4in, 8 out), providing all the system management tools necessary for comprehensive system alignment and EQ, through to the provision of IIR and FIR based crossovers.

The new Intelli-series comprises a no-compromise design resulting in unmatched audio performance, even when using lower sample rates. The internal processing is selectable from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, providing full compatibility with both standard and high-end sample rate formats. Sample rate convertors are provided on the inputs as standard and may be switched in and out of circuit as required, enabling

digital equipment operating at different rates to be connected. A high degree of sonic quality in the analogue domain is also attained based on a no-compromise design philosophy. The new Intelli-series is equally at home in both live and studio applications.

Intelli-X² I/O can be selected (in pairs) to be either analogue or AES3/EBU, enabling a mix of audio formats to be used simultaneously.

Comprehensive front panel control means that reliance on computers to configure or tweak parameters is a thing of the past.

Intelli-Series 9

An exceptionally intuitive front panel, with integral LCD menu (using graphical icons similar to those used on many smartphones) makes operation of the Intelli-X² extremely quick to learn.

Critical attention has been focussed on synchronisation. Four sync options are available: Wordclock, AES A/B, AES C/D and internal. The Intelli-X² series manages synchronisation by providing a three-tiered redundancy approach, ensuring that if any sync source is lost, the Intelli-X² will automatically revert to another (as defined by the user) ensuring no loss in audio.

An integral date and time-based logging system is incorporated within all Intelli-devices. The log provides details of any key configuration/control changes made and this log is available for viewing on the front panel display, or can be downloaded directly onto a computer.

The Intelli-series is designed to interface easily into any existing (or bespoke) Ethernet network via internal 3-way Ethernet switches. Both automatic IP (DHCP) and static IP configuration is provided as standard, enabling plug & play connectivity and more rigid IP assignments for use in fixed installations. SNMP support also provided. Wireless access points can be directly connected to Intelli-X² devices allowing direct control over a wireless network.

In addition to front panel control, the Intelli-X² is designed to be controlled remotely via the Apex Intelli-ware controller software application.

Intelli-ware is designed to provide fast and intuitive control from both portable Touch and Tablet PCs, and tethered PCs. The interface mirrors the powerful, but intuitive design of the hardware, whereby operation is predominantly icon driven.

The Intelli-ware screen layout is fully configurable and can be sized to match any type of display. Custom screen formats may be saved and linked to user access rights, allowing sound designers to restrict parameter access for visiting or other engineers for example.

remote control softwareFull offline design capabilities are provided within Intelli-ware enabling shows to be prepped off-site. Intelli-ware provides two modes of operation, Design and Live.

In Design mode detailed system designs can be entered encompassing both system management and/or crossover configurations. These settings can be secured using Intelli-ware’s comprehensive control/access rights facility.

Live mode only enables access to parameters that are deemed necessary after the design

phase. In Live mode, access to parameters could be entirely blocked (e.g., RMS and Peak

limiter control) or limited (e.g., a control tolerance of ±5 dB for input gain).

SL-Series 13

Noise level control systems

The Apex SL-Series is a set of tools to protect hearing, neighbours, the environment and equipment against excessive sound levels; all without altering the quality of the material. The concept behind the SL-Series is to have two basic units, the Argos and the Hera. These can be used independently or combined to provide a fully featured sound levelling system.

Page 16: Apex 2011

14 SL-Series

Argos

You may need to comply to local regulations in matters of sound levels, or you simply wish to have a responsible attitude towards your customers’ hearing. Alternatively you may wish to protect your speaker system from abuse, or maybe you wish to do all of the above.

Either way you’ld like to offer your customers great sounding music without damaging their hearing. The Apex Argos sound level limiter is regularly stated by the press and by our customers as the most natural sounding and smoothest level limiter available.

Argos will prevent your sound system from producing excessive sound levels, while perfectly preserving the dynamic range of the original signal by acting as a real gain control. Precise threshold overshoots are permissible as the Argos operates within the required equivalent continuous sound level (LEQ) range.

16 SL-Series

Hera

The Apex Hera is a microprocessor based sound level controller. Hera can be used either as a separate unit or combined with the Apex Argos.

Hera will not only log the average (Leq) and peak RMS sound pressure levels over time, but also detect and log any attempt to disable the system. The files can be easily consulted by any user directly from the front panel or retrieved on a computer and printed out.

Hera also offers two logic outputs that may be used to drive relays for signalisation or mains cut-off if a certain threshold is being exceeded. All settings are pin code protected and can easily be entered from the devices’ front panel.

COMBINED WITH THE ARGOS, UNITS WILL ACT AS THE ULTIMATE SOUND LEVEL (NOISE CONTROL) SYSTEM, WITH MEASUREMENT AND LOGGING FUNCTIONALITY

dBDI-2

The dBDI-2 two channels active DI box combines Apex audio performance with versatility. The dBDI-2 is just as at home in a studio or multi-media facility as it is in clubs and on-the-road.

With the dBDI-2 you won’t find yourself in a fix with incompatible connector types. Each channel provides XLR (3-pin), ¼” jack and RCA (cinch) input connectivity as standard, you can take the dBDI-2 anywhere. Capable of accepting a wide range of input signals (from guitar or bass pick-up to high level amplifier output) the dBDI-2 can be configured to meet the most demanding of applications. Dual mono, or stereo operation is catered for, while enhanced features enable channel inputs on the dBDI-2 to be summed together or even allow the dBDI-2 to be used as an active splitter.

High quality transformers, shielded within mu-metal cans, provide each channel with a galvanically isolated and balanced output; ensuring that audio integrity and performance is at its best.

Channels on the dBDI-2 can be individually powered with separate 48 V phantom supplies, or via an external power adapter. The rugged aluminium extruded standalone design conveniently allows cables to be run underneath the dBDI-2, while the rubberised end cheeks provide both additional protection and enable multiple units to be stacked in a safe and secure manner.

For those who require a rack based solution, two dBDI-2 devices can be mounted onto a single 1U optional 19” rack panel.

Applications

dBZ-48stereo distribution mixer

The versatility and performance of the dBZ-48 makes it an ideal solution for fixed installations, live sound, multi-media and broadcast applications. Housed in a 1U 19” rack enclosure, the dBZ-48 features two stereo analogue inputs and four stereo analogue outputs.

Each stereo input provides clear and precise LED metering, and Mute, Mono Sum and gain adjustment facilities. Similarly, each stereo output section comes fitted with identical features, with the addition of independent mix controls for both stereo inputs, allowing unique stereo mixes to be sent to each output.

For security purposes, an optional front panel guard is available to prevent anyone from tampering with the dBZ-48 controls.

The dBZ-48 provides the versatility to be employed in many situations.

Zone Mixer: The dBZ-48 allows installers to mix two stereo sources (for example, a multi-disc CD player and a hard disk based playout device) to four separate zone outputs.The four stereo outputs can then be wired to active speakers, amplifiers or speaker management systems in each zone.

Stereo Distribution Amplifier: It is now a common requirement to distribute a single stereo source to multiple destinations, whether they be to rooms in an installation or theatre, to FOH and Monitor consoles or for dedicated broadcast or recording feeds. The dBZ-48 comfortably provides this functionality in a way that is simple, effective and quick to configure.

Page 27: Apex 2011

dB-Series 25

Features

Stereo Merge:In many situations there is a requirement to merge multiple stereo sources. It may be the case that in a live environment the output of two FOH consoles need to be merged together. Alternatively there may be a requirement to free channel resources on a FOH console by removing any CD or hard disk playout device. The solution is to mix these sources together within the dBZ-48. By using the dBZ-48 the process is quick and efficient.

26 dB-Series

Applications

dBZ-48d

The dBZ-48d comes fitted with identical features as from the dBZ-48. Its uniqueness comes in the form of digital signal processing (DSP) within the device. Each output features user-selectable delay, 24dB/Octave high and low pass filters and polarity control, making the dBZ-48d an ideal solution for system designers looking to mix and distribute stereo sources to multiple destinations.

All DSP parameters are adjustable from the front panel via a comprehensive set of controls and a clear alphanumeric display. The dBZ-48d also offers eight memory presets enabling configurations to be stored and recalled from the front panel. An ideal feature for touring applications or multi-purpose venues.

Zone Mixer: More than a standard zone mixer, the dBZ-48d offers both high-pass and low-pass filters per stereo output channel. The ability to add and control these filters within installs, such as restaurants or bars, can help enhance the overall ambience for clients wishing to talk, by limiting the bandwidth of the background music.

In addition, by filtering unwanted frequencies from reaching small form-factor speakers, such as ceiling speakers, improved intelligibility and speaker protection can be achieved. Implementing such filters can also remove the need for using external crossovers on sub-woofers.

Stereo Distribution Amp: Time alignment has never been so straight forward. Setting delays for under balcony speakers or delay towers can now be performed quickly and efficiently.

stereo distribution mixerwith delay and EQ

Page 29: Apex 2011

dB-Series 27

In large venues or open-air areas it is important to make use of multiple speaker positions in order to maintain coverage. Delays are required to align the overall system and eliminate the ‘echo effect’ caused when speakers are set some distance apart. Implementing the delays accurately within the dBZ-48d can therefore result improve intelligibility.

Delay adjustment is made even simpler by displaying values in distance or time (user selectable) in a smooth and glitch-free manner.

Powered loudspeaker partner:In many live applications (such as conferences, product launches, diners and talk-shows) powered loudspeakers can prove to be very convenient. The dBZ-48d ensures that signal distribution, time alignment and crossover functionality (if required) are all provided within a single unit to four separate stereo or mono zones.

Video application:

With today’s increasing demand to integrate video into the live sound environment (such as concerts, V-DJs etc.) the issue of synchronising audio to video may well pose a challenge. The dBZ-48d is the ideal solution as it enables delays to be inserted at frame resolutions (24, 25 and 30-fps) across each output.

Page 30: Apex 2011

28 dB-Series

dBQ-Zero

The new improved version of the dBQ-zero features the 30-band constant-Q graphic section on each channel, plus a filter section consisting of a high-pass filter, high and low shelving equalisers and two notch filters. Shelving filters add warmth and colour to the mix. A typical application for our frequency adjustable high-pass filter is to remove hum or vibration transmitted by turntables. Notch filters allow fast and easy removal of noise or potential feedback frequencies. Interchannel crosstalk and THD+N figures are improved, as his load stability with the implementation of the updated line driver circuitry.

Constant-Q design preserves filter bandwidth independently from the amplitude control settings and therefore minimises the adjacent band interaction. Constant-Q reinforces the graphical representation by the front panel faders of the actual frequency response.

Changes have also been made to the chassis and cosmetics of the unit, resulting in improved ruggedness and an intuitive user interface. Two 10-segment LED level indicators, each with dedicated signal and clip LED, monitors the signal level.
