P1 AVB processor and measurement platform
L-Acoustics P1 is an AVB processor and measurement platform. Remote controlled from LA Network Manager 2.6
Windows/macOS software together with L-Acoustics amplied controllers, its 20 inputs / 18 outputs dual core DSP
platform provides a comprehensive solution for mixing desk selection, signal processing and distribution over AVB
networks, AES/EBU or analog lines.
P1 includes four microphone inputs and an advanced library of acoustic measurement functions for efcient system
tuning. The workow is twofold: the impulse responses of all parts of the system are acquired from multiple audience
locations; then, optimal system tuning is directly determined from LA Network Manager 3 with automatic delay nder
and EQ modelization ofine algorithms. Thanks to a powerful database architecture and online integration with amplied
controllers, the System Engineer can easily select and apply the settings that will achieve the desired result in accordance
with the Soundvision design, the audience characteristics, and the artistic objectives.

Technical description
Main features
Internal components
P1 has 20 inputs:
• four microphone inputs with switchable +48 V phantom power and high-pass lter.
• four analog line inputs with high-quality A/D conversion
• four AES/EBU inputs with high-quality Sample Rate Converter (SRC)
• one AVB listener capable of retrieving up to eight audio channels from one stream
Its dual DSP core allows to mix these inputs to four independent DSP busses for EQ and dynamics signal processing,
and/or route them directly to any of the 16 + 2 outputs:
• four analog line outputs with high-quality D/A conversion
• four AES/EBU outputs
• one AVB talker capable of sending up to eight audio channels in one stream
• one stereo headphone output
Power is provided by a universal Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS). Control is possible from the front panel TFT color
touchscreen display user interface, and remotely over 1 Gb/s Ethernet. One General Purpose I/O (GPIO), containing
two GPI and two GPO, allows for control of precongured status or operations. Two USB 2.0 host connectors allow the
connection of the P1 Sensor for temperature and humidity measurement or a USB storage device (max. 500 mA / 5 V).
