Behringer ULTRADRIVE DCX2496 Digital 24-Bit/96 kHz Loudspeaker Management System

The Behringer ULTRADRIVE DCX2496 Digital 24-Bit/96 kHz Loudspeaker Management System is the ultimate digital loudspeaker management system with an unheard-of audio quality and feature list. It is an indispensable tool for the precise set-up of multiple loudspeaker systems or arrays. Installation contractors, live-sound engineers, cinemas/discotheques/concert hall operators will quickly learn to love this model's rich features. Signals can be split in various ways to assure precise sound by using the optimal frequency range of each loudspeaker.

CONNECTIVITY AND SOUND QUALITY

With 3 analog inputs and 6 analog outputs on servo-balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors and four different mono and stereo output operating modes, you get maximum flexibility in just one rack space. In addition, one of the analog inputs also supports the AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital protocols, while a pair of RS-484 ports and an RS-232 connector provide linking and computer-controlled digital networking capabilities. Superb high-end Cirrus Logic 24-bit/96 kHz AD and DA converters give you ultimate signal integrity and an incredible 120 dB dynamic range.

PROCESSING POWER

Speaker protection and processing are the cornerstones for any speaker management system. The DCX2496 features precise dynamic EQs for level-dependent equalization, plus extremely musical parametric EQs that can be applied to all I/O for high-precision signal sculpting. The unit offers 6 outputs with individual crossover filters, including your choice of Butterworth, Bessel, and Linkwitz-Riley designs, each with selectable roll-off characteristics from 6 to 48 dB/octave, perfect for optimizing any 2-, 3-, or 4-way system. Finally, the “Zero”-attack limiters provide the ultimate in loudspeaker protection on all output channels.
