Chime Master's ''' | Chime Master's '''inSpire Audio™''' DSP amplifiers are required in systems that mix full range speaker systems with traditional narrow band long through horn speakers. Millennium and Platinum ''inSpire Edition'' carillons have an extended low frequency output that can damage conventional horn speakers unless they are filtered. | ||
The inSpire amplifier is more than just an amplifier. It is also a capable and sophisticated loudspeaker processor. Integration of DSP and amplification means that the processor knows exactly what the amplifier is doing, allowing the dynamics processing and protection circuitry to be far more accurate and effective. This synergistic approach employs both RMS and Peak Limiters that provide the amplifier and loudspeaker combination to produce more output without being pushed to distortion or destruction. | The inSpire amplifier is more than just an amplifier.

We have engineered the amplifier's programming using a combination of filtering, limiting and speaker processing that compensates for the non-linearities in speaker and horn design, resulting in exceptional performance. | ||
