The Behringer Ultradrive Pro DCX2496

The Behringer DCX2496 is a professional speaker management system. In recent years, the DCX2496 has become an industry standard and several hundred thousand units have been used in both high-end touring and installation applications.

With 2 inputs, 6 outputs, and 24-bit/96 kHz high-end AD/DA converters, this state-of-the-art processor will take your system to the next level and beyond.

Limitless Control

In addition to the numerous EQ filter and crossover options, the DCX2496 offers adjustable delays for all I/O, so you can either manually or automatically correct room temperature, phase, and arrival time differences to perfectly configure your delay line speakers. A PCMCIA slot allows you to store up to 60 custom presets internally or optionally via your PC for instant recall when moving between venues. With the Behringer Ultradrive Pro DCX 2496, you have a rock-solid solution for great sound - show after show!

Excellent connectivity and impeccable sound quality

With its analog inputs (one of which is suitable as a digital stereo AES/EBU input) and 6 analog outputs, the speaker management system offers maximum flexibility in just one rack space. The outstanding high-end Cirrus Logic 24-bit/96 kHz A/D - D/A converters additionally ensure ultimate signal integrity - and an extremely wide dynamic range of 120 dB!

Enormous processing power

Speaker protection and processing are the cornerstones for any speaker management system. That's why the Ultradrive Pro DCX 2496 features precise dynamic EQs for level-dependent equalization, as well as extremely musical parametric EQs that can be applied to all I/O for highly accurate signal shaping. 6 outputs with individual crossover filters, including 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, our "Zero" Attack Limiters provide the ultimate in loudspeaker protection for all output channels.
