Lynx Pro Audio is now manufacturing all of its self-powered systems with the new generation of DSPB-FL software and hardware, which includes improvements in signal processing capabilities and user communications. This new development was first incorporated in the CLS coaxial line array cabinets, one of the flagship ranges, and later this technology was included in the new XT series of amplifiers.
As of January 2022, all the brand’s self-powered cabinets have the new built-in DSP
The CLS line array has been using the new DSPB-FL system for several months in all environments. Now Lynx Pro Audio announces the incorporation of this new DSP in all the brand’s self-powered enclosures.
This new generation of DSP offers greater processing power, up to 8 times more than the previous version and provides greater advantages in communication with the user, increasing the operating use of the system. In addition, new direct control capabilities and custom memories are integrated.
How are the new DSPs different from previous models?
The differences between the two generations are remarkable. The change in technology of both the DSP and the microprocessors has increased the computing power considerably, with a processing power up to 8 times greater in the new DSPs, working at 96KHz without any loss of performance compared to the previous generation (48 KHz). It can process at 96KHz with double precision and has FIR filters of up to 2000 Taps per output. Also, depending on the cabinet model, AES3 and Ethernet are optional or standard.
The features have also increased: with the new generation of DSP the user can modify the gain, the delay and can create up to 5 custom memories and load them from the cabinet itself. In addition, presets can be made from the computer with access to gain, delay and 10 parametric filters.
Externally, the screen has changed in both size and quality. The old screen was an alphanumeric LCD with 16 characters on 2 lines, while the new screen is a full colour 320 x 240 pixels IPS, which offers a very complete and user-friendly navigable menu, being comfortable to handle and easy to use and read.
Technology 100% developed by Lynx Pro Audio
The development of the new generation of software and hardware has been carried out entirely at Lynx Pro Audio with our own R&D laboratory. It is a milestone of great importance led by our team of engineers and developed in our facilities in Valencia.
For Carlos Matalí, director of R&D at Lynx Pro Audio, the fact of having developed it internally has been advantageous: “In this way, we master the technology and do not depend on external companies, we have the ability to add or improve the features according to the needs. We can turn customer feedback into product features very quickly and even add solutions to problems that may arise in installations and that we had not considered before.”
Lynx Pro Audio has one of the most advanced product ranges on the market. The Spanish company’s engineering team recently completed the implementation of new capabilities for the Rainbow acoustic prediction system, renamed Rainbow 3D thanks to its interface in a dynamic 3D environment, whose promising future will also be confirmed within this year.

Where can you find this technology?
You will find it in our self-powered cabinets including CLS, CXA, GXR and Ionic series.
XT series is a new generation of amplifiers that offer a high voltage output,with a powerful 96 KHz and double-precision 64 bits DSP. These amplifiers are ideal for touring and install applications.
Based on a switching mode power supply with an innovative Class H 3 steps topology, these amplifiers work with high voltages and offer superb dynamics.
They also include a completely new PMS™ system, with protection both on the power supply and the audio modules, working in real time to make sure all the variables are secure. All these features make these amplifiers ideal for working with asymmetric loads and provide maximum power for each audio system.XT amplifiers are suitable for the most demanding applications offering the best reliability.
A powerful 96 KHz, double-precision 64 bits DSP with FIR filters, with a software specially developed for this series is key.
The XT amplifiers have a user interface with an extra-large 4.3″ IPS touch panel, making it easier and faster to use. From this panel you can control and manage each parameter of the amplifier and choose among the system presets, users, EQ and created snapshots.
The XT series has two Ethernet ports for daisy chain connection andaccess to the OCS software, designed to monitor the amplifiers in real time.
R&D Lynx Pro Audio’s department is working on Rainbow 3D, a new acoustic simulation software in a 3D and dynamic environment. With a sophisticated design, Rainbow 3D stands out for its speed, being able to do a simulation in a few seconds. It has algorithms for beam steering and optimizing the listening area.
Rainbow 3D has been programmed from scratch by the engineers of Lynx Pro Audio, using new programming procedures that achieve an effective simulation with a really low calculation time. For example: calculating 40 sound sources lasts less than 1 second.
The program can simulate all Lynx Pro Audio’s acoustic enclosures located in a 3D space, including the classic side and top views. It can also define multiple listening zones and include an unlimited number of sound sources. Allows the acoustic simulation for all audio systems: subwoofers, arrays, columns and individual boxes.
Optimization algorithms are used in the listening area to cover the sound pressure and the frequency response. This task is carried out in a matter of seconds thanks to the processing of FIR filters. In addition, the export of FIR coefficients can be performed with the optimization for later loading in the DSP, via Ethernet or a USB device. In the near future, you can communicate directly with the OCS (Online Control System) of Lynx Pro Audio.
Rainbow 3D has the chance of adding DSP processes in the simulation and uses algorithms to control the directivity (beam steering) in columns, without the need to tilt them physically, being able to divide the column into several beams that point to different zones.
Likewise, the R&D department is developing multiple measurement and analysis tools of the calculated data. For example, the sound pressure curves (SPL) in the listening areas and the capture of virtual measurements that show the frequency response in the points of location indicated and added.
Rainbow 3D presents some preliminary features: the ability to import CAD files, as well as the use of Google Maps. By adding the coordinates of the event, you can see the Google Maps image (with or without relief) and superimpose the result of the acoustic simulation to predict the sound pressure in the whole room.
Being a technology developed by our own engineers, we can adapt to the needs of our clients, make improvements when necessary and develop new tools. Rainbow 3D is a project that is constantly growing and that raises us endless possibilities.
