DACS: The Distributed Audio Control System
A Major Qualifying Report
submitted to the Faculty
of the
WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE
in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the
Degree of Bachelor of Science
by Stephen Scott Richardson
Date: 25 July 1997
Approved
Professor William R. Michalson, Advisor
Abstract:
The Distributed Audio Control System (DACS) is a hybrid digital and analog
system designed to automate common audio tasks such as audio mixing, digital
audio cueing, and MIDI device control. The MQP explores the development of
a powerful, expandible, and inexpensive system to perform these tasks.
The implementation of two custom hardware components, firmware, and
software bring the design to fruition, with near production quality.
