The Ultra-Drive Pro DCX-2496 is the ultimate digital loudspeaker management system offering superior audio quality and an extensive 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 and 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.
Start with its 3 analog inputs (one suitable as a digital stereo AES/EBU input) and six analog outputs. You get maximum flexibility in just one rack space. Superb high-end AKM 24-bit/96kHz A/D and D/A converters give you ultimate signal integrity and an extreme dynamic range of 113dB. Easy connection of external digital signals with sampling rates from 32kHz to 96kHz is a breeze with the integrated sample rate converter. There are precise dynamic EQ for level-dependent equalization and extremely musical parametric EQ, selectable for all inputs and outputs, and "Zero"-attack limiter 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 48dB/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 DCX-2496 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 DCX-2496s. 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 two high-power 32-bit 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.

Comments about Behringer DCX2496 Ultra-Drive Pro PA Management:
Used this on my sound system, went through 3 units in 4 years. Sent each one back to Behringer and they sent me new units each time. Ended up blowing 3 subwoofers total with this unit. Every unit I had at some point would lose the crossover settings and run the speakers into frequency's that were way off. Not good when in the middle of a show, your subs go up to 3k Hz. Never liked the product. Your best bet, stick with the simple crossover from Behringer, or a different brand if you want a speaker management system.
