About the Linea Research ASC48
The Linea Research ASC48 is an advanced system controller and signal processor built for professional sound systems, featuring four input channels and eight output channels driven by 96kHz digital signal processing. It supports analogue, AES3 and Dante/AES67 inputs and outputs, with Ethernet remote control via Linea's System Engineer PC application and a full front-panel interface for local operation. Proprietary DSP algorithms, developed entirely in-house, include LIR linear phase crossover filters and the VX Limiter suite covering peak, RMS and excursion limiting, plus multiband limiting for passive two-way enclosures. Third-party integration is supported via contact closure ports, and the unit is fully manufactured, tested and supported in the UK.
Linea Research ASC48 — buyer FAQs
What is the Linea Research ASC48 and what does it do?
The Linea Research ASC48 is an advanced system controller and signal processor for professional sound systems. It provides four input channels and eight output channels, processed at 96kHz. The unit supports analogue, AES3 and optional Dante/AES67 connectivity, offers Ethernet remote control via Linea's System Engineer PC application, and includes a full front-panel interface for local operation without a computer.
Who makes the ASC48 and where is it built?
The ASC48 is made by Linea Research, a UK-based manufacturer. The unit is conceived, designed, manufactured, tested and supported entirely in-house in the UK. All DSP algorithms, including the LIR linear phase crossover filters and the VX Limiter suite, are developed by Linea's own engineering team, meaning they are not found on products from any other manufacturer.
What proprietary DSP features does the ASC48 include?
The ASC48 carries DSP algorithms designed entirely in-house by Linea Research. These include LIR linear phase crossover filters, which the manufacturer states are as easy to use as conventional filter shapes but have lower latency than FIR filters, and the VX Limiter suite, which covers peak, RMS and excursion limiting as well as multiband limiting specifically for passive two-way enclosures.
How does the ASC48 integrate with third-party systems?
The ASC48 supports third-party control via contact closure ports, allowing straightforward integration into broader system setups. Remote control over Ethernet is handled through Linea's System Engineer PC application. The unit also offers OEM-friendly flexible parameter hiding, making it suitable for installations where end-user access to certain settings needs to be restricted.
What should I check when buying a used Linea Research ASC48?
Confirm the input and output configuration matches your system requirements, particularly whether the optional Dante/AES67 connectivity is fitted, as not all units include it. Check that the front-panel interface and all analogue, AES3 and Ethernet ports are fully functional. Used ASC48 listings on this page carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; full details are in the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.
