The Ultra-Drive Pro DCX2496 is the ultimate digital processor for managing acoustic systems with unparalleled sound quality and unique features. It is an indispensable tool for precise tuning of multi-way acoustic systems and arrays. Installation technicians, live sound engineers, concert hall sound operators, theaters, or clubs will love this device for its ease of use and rich features. Signals can be split in various ways to ensure accurate reproduction using the optimal frequency range of each component of the speaker system.
The DCX2496 offers 3 analog inputs (one of which can be used as a digital stereo input in AES/EBU format) and 6 analog outputs. You get maximum flexibility in a 1U rack format. High-quality 24-bit/96 kHz AKM A/D and D/A converters ensure ultimate sound clarity and a wide dynamic range (113 dB). Thanks to the integrated sample rate converter, easy connection of external digital devices with sample rates from 32 kHz to 96 kHz is possible. You have precise dynamic equalizers for level-dependent equalization and exceptionally musical parametric equalizers, freely assignable to all inputs and outputs, as well as limiters with "zero" attack on all output channels, ensuring optimal signal and speaker protection.
The Ultra-Drive Pro DCX2496 also offers four different mono and stereo operational modes, each with an individual crossover filter type (Butterworth, Bessel, and Linkwitz-Riley) with slopes ranging from 6 to 48 dB/octave. Delay times for each input and output can also be freely adjusted manually or automatically depending on room temperature, phase, and time discrepancies. An additional summed signal can easily be obtained from any combination of input signals A/B/C. Remote control is an essential feature of any modern equipment. The constantly updated software for the Ultra-Drive Pro DCX2496 enables remote control of one or multiple processors from a computer via RS-232 or RS-485 ports, with the Link option providing cascading connection of multiple Ultra-Drive Pro DCX2496 units through the RS-485 port.
Features:
- Open processor architecture guarantees easy operating system updates, while the PCMCIA slot allows you to save all settings and load them at any time
- Powerful 32-bit digital signal processor SHARC and CRYSTAL and AKM A/D and D/A converters ensure unmatched sound quality
- Integrated sample rate converter for connecting external digital devices with sample rates from 32 kHz to 96 kHz. Precise dynamic equalizers for level-dependent equalization and exceptionally musical parametric equalizers freely assignable to all inputs and outputs
- Additional EQs (Low/High cut, Bandpass) freely assignable to all inputs and outputs
- Limiters with "zero" attack on all output channels for optimal speaker protection from overload
- 4 output configurations provide all possible combinations of mono and stereo modes
The distinctive types of crossover filters (Butterworth, Bessel, and Linkwitz-Riley) with adjustable order (from 6 to 48 dB/octave). Adjustable delay time for each input and output for precise adjustment of time and phase discrepancies depending on temperature in manual or automatic mode. An additional summed signal created from any combination of input signals A/B/C forms the fourth internal input signal.
