Behringer Ultradrive Pro DCX2496 Crossover

The Behringer ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496 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 - ideal for install contractors, live engineers, theaters, clubs & concert halls. Signals can be split in various ways to assure precise sound by using the optimal frequency range of each loudspeaker.

Start with its 3 analog inputs (one suitable as a digital stereo AES/EBU input) and 6 analog outputs. You get maximum flexibility in just one rack space. Superb high-end AKM 24-bit/96 kHz A/D and D/A converters give you ultimate signal integrity and an extreme dynamic range of 113 dB. Easy connection of external digital signals with sampling rates from 32 to 96 kHz is a breeze with the integrated sample rate converter. There are precise dynamic EQs for level-dependent equalization and extremely musical parametric EQs, selectable for all inputs and outputs, and Zero-attack limiters on all output channels guarantee optimal signal and loudspeaker protection.

You also get four different mono and stereo output operating modes, all with individual crossover filter types (Butterworth, Bessel and Linkwitz-Riley) with selectable roll-off characteristics from 6 to 48 dB/octave. The delays for all inputs and outputs are adjustable. This allows you to manually or automatically correct for room temperature, phase and arrival time differences. An additional sum signal is easily derived from the A/B/C inputs.

Now that remote control is such a hot topic, you’ll be glad that the future-proof ULTRA-DRIVE PRO software enables single or multi remote control via PC through RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces. And the link option via RS-485 network interface enables cascading of several ULTRA-DRIVE PROs. A Windows-based editing software is available for download free of charge. No matter what the future brings, its open architecture assures easy software updates. A PCMCIA slot allows you to store all your settings and recall them anytime you change the location—virtually taking your ULTRA-DRIVE PRO with you.

But don’t be fooled by the ULTRA-DRIVE PRO’s sleek design. Its high-power Sharc-DSPs and ultra-high resolution Crystal/AKM A/D & D/A converter provide outstanding audio performance—and the servo-balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors for all inputs and outputs guarantee excellent connectivity for the years to come.

Subject:Amazing Piece of Equipment!!!
Overall:

QUALITY:
Very well put togeter piece of equipment. Solid construction like all Behringer products.

FEATURES:
Alot of buttons and parameters to play with. If you want the right sound for your party or listening pleasure I would recommend getting to know the DCX 2496 by adjusting the different frequencies for each channel and output or, program Lows, Mids and Highs then copy the program to the other channel.

EASE OF USE:
A little complex at first; but if you are an easy learner you will be adjusting the frequencies and correcting the sound in no time.

VALUE:
Worth every penny. I traded in my Behringer CX 3400, MDX 2600 and EX 3200. The DCX 2496 is all you will need. I would recommend a Sonic Maximizer BBE 882i and the Behringer DEQ 2496 to complement the DCX 2696.

SOUND:
Great sound. I read many reviews before purchasing the DCX 2496 and my mind was 50%. Now, I have no regrets regarding my investmen

Subject:Very capable unit, sounds great.
Overall: Mine drives a stereo 3-way stack, with L-R 24db/oct xovers, 12db/oct bandwidth limits, two slope filters, 4 parametric corrections, limiters, no dynamic filtering enabled. As you turn on more features, available CPU drops to zero and you have to choose. But everything works as advertized. Replaces a pile of 9 (!!!) units (dbx xover, 6 eq, 2 delay) in my rack. Sounds cleaner, very wide dynamics from soft to loud.

Subject:GREAT UNIT AT GREAT PRICE
Overall: I AM USING THIS UNIT ON BI AMPED WEDGES. ONE UNIT GIVES YOU 3 MIXES. CLEAN CLEAR, AND YOU CAN HOLD A MIC RIGHT INTO THE HORN OF A MONITOR WITH NO FEEDBACK IF THE UNIT IS SET UP RIGHT. WORTH THE INVESTMENT
