Make your venue sound like it was tuned by the pros with the Behringer ULTRADRIVE DCX2496. The unit provides a comprehensive sound processing feature set that includes analog and digital inputs/outputs, A/D/D/A conversion, EQ, filtering, limiting, and delay and phase correction. Use the DCX2496 to manage a multi-speaker sound system in any sized venue—from cinema, to sanctuary, to concert hall. This powerful processor features two analog inputs, one analog input with AES/EBU support, and six analog outputs. Two RS-485 ports and one RS-232 connector allow for linking and digital networking. High-end 24-bit/96 kHz AD/DA converters ensure outstanding performance.

Superb Connectivity and Impeccable 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.

Huge 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.

Limitless Control
In addition to the plethora of EQ filter and crossover options, the DCX2496 offers adjustable delays for all I/O, allowing you to either manually, or automatically correct for room temperature, phase, and arrival time differences in order to perfectly configure your delay-line speakers. You can store up to 60 user-defined presets internally for quick recall any time you change location. The DCX2496 gives you the rock-solid solution for great sound, show after show.

Incredible Sound and Protection Every Time
The ULTRADRIVE’s sleek design, with its high-power 32-bit Analog Device Sharc DSP, ultrahigh resolution 24-bit/96 kHz Cirrus Logic AD & DA converters, and maximum processing power provide outstanding audio performance, helping you get the most out of your sound system—no matter where the gig takes you.
