With its concealed, authority seal-able and straightforward set-up controls, you'll be able to quickly protect hearing and the environment, either on the road or in fixed installations. The Argos front panel clearly displays the level reduction applied.
You can choose between different 3 modes of operation: use the measurement microphone provided, the line inputs or the power amplifier inputs as level measurement reference.
Argosʼ unique servo-loop circuitry will preserve the whole audio signal quality and the entire dynamic range of the sound programme. Its unique silence detector makes it an indispensable tool for live music performance as well as interrupted recorded music, it will prevent pumping artefacts when the signal returns.
Configuring the Argos in fast mode and connecting it directly to your power amplifiers output, in parallel with the speakers, will protect your sound system against dangerous DJs, hard-rockers and extensive repair bills.
Use the Argos together with the Apex Hera, they will be your neighbours dream team !

Weight Net 4.6 kg (10.14 lbs) | Behringer DCX2496 Overview
The DCX2496 ULTRADRIVE PRO from Behringer is a digital loudspeaker management system, that provides excellent audio quality, along with a comprehensive feature list. It allows for precise set-up of multiple loudspeaker arrays, suitable for live sound, fixed installations that require control of loudspeaker systems, and other contractor-installed applications.
Each of the three-inputs and six-outputs have fixed processing blocks, including gain, delay, EQ and dynamic EQ on the input channels, and gain, crossover, EQs, limiter and delays on the output side. One of the inputs can accept a stereo AES/EBU digital signal. An integrated sample rate converter assists in accepting various sample rates. Additionally, an internal input-sum signal is easily set-up.
Four different mono and stereo output operating modes are available, all with individual crossover filter types with selectable roll-off characteristics. Input and output delays allow for time adjusting signals to compensate for ambient temperature changes or for adjusting arrival time differences for individual speaker clusters. EQs can be used for both musical enhancement or for level-dependent equalization. Brick-wall limiters guarantee speaker protection.
Remote control of one or several units can be accomplished utilizing downloadable software for a Windows based computer. Set-ups can be saved to the software, or to an optional PCMCIA card for the ultimate in portability. Servo-balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors for all inputs and outputs guarantee excellent connectivity.
- Three-input, six-output loudspeaker management system

- Dynamic EQ for level-dependent equalization and parametric EQ selectable for each channel
- “Zero" attack limiters on all output channels for optimal signal protection
- Automatic or manual-adjustable delays for all inputs and outputs allow for adjustment due to room temperature, phase and arrival time differences
- Link option via RS-485 network interface allows for linking multiple units for larger installation requirements
- Downloadable software enables single- or multiple-unit remote control utilizing a Windows based computer
- Sixty user-defined internal presets can bestored via software or on a PCMCIA card

With the DSP 260 digital 2-in-6 sound system manager, DYNACORD is continuing its proud tradition in the fi eld of innovative digital signal processors.
Based on the most modern hardware, this system manager offers tried-and-tested as well as new algorithms for the simple and swift construction of active multi-way systems. As much importance has been attached here by the developers to high user-friendliness as to the realization of an extremely favorable price.
24-bit sigma-delta AD/DA converters and a 32-bit floating-point signal processor make possible a dynamic range of 111 dB. In addition to the two analog inputs, a digital stereo input in AES/EBU format is available. A -6 dB pad switch in front of the AD converters offers additional security against overload when the device is connected to mixing desks with very high output levels. The 6 individually mutable outputs are electronically balanced and available on XLR sockets. For all inputs and outputs, easily read LED level meters are provided on the front panel.
Users can choose whether to configure their own systems at the device itself using the controls and display provided or else by means of the intuitive editing software.
3-way stereo, 2-way stereo + FR, 4-way mono + FR etc. Furthermore, factory presets compatible with those of the tried-and-tested DSP-244 are available for Dynacord loudspeaker systems.
In terms of DSP, the device offers parametric and graphic EQs as well as a delay function in the input and crossover, channel EQ, channel delay and a level control with limiter in each output channel.
An RS-232 interface allows Master/Slave operation of multiple devices as well as GPI switching of settings. A PC (the editing software runs under Windows) can be connected via the USB interface on the front panel.
A variable parameter lockout function allows you to determine which settings and parameters can be accessed directly at the device. This is just one of many features that make the DSP 260 an ideal choice also for the rental business.
The wealth of features combined with its outstanding audio performance and favorable price commend this audio system manager for a multitude of professional applications.
