The 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. 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.
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 ULTRADRIVE 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 ULTRADRIVE 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 ULTRADRIVE PRO with you.
But don’t be fooled by the ULTRADRIVE PRO’s sleek design. Its high-power 32-bit
SHARC®-DSP 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.
