AmpTraXX 2 - Group 13 Fall 2011/Spring 2012
AmpTraXX 2 can be best described as a network enabled, centralized DSP, distributed speaker system. This system is not like just any other distributed speaker system. The System allows a user to switch output channels on the fly at an unlimited number of locations while monitoring the status of each location all through a mobile device. AmpTraXX 2 comprises of a DSP unit performing filtering and digital conversion over Ethernet, while each breakout box receives the audio over Ethernet and outputs eight independent audio channels.
This project was completed as necessary according the University of Central Florida's degree requirements for Electrical and Computer Engineering students. A two semester course, Senior Design requires students to design and construct something using skills learned at the University. AmpTraxx 2 was completed by Group 13 of the Fall 2011 and Summer 2012 semesters. Group 13 consists of Matt Webb, Daren Ruben, Earl Maier, and Talitha Rubio. Alcorn McBride sponsored AmpTraXX 2. Without Jim Carstensen and Adam Rosenberg none of this would have even been remotely possible. Thank you so much gentlemen. Group 13 was also sponsored by Workforce Central Florida. Thank you to both of our sponsors.
