ASHLY XR-2001 Stereo 3-Way – Mono 4-5-Way Crossover

  The XR-Series crossovers are the product of an intensive research effort started in 1972 which combined a reexamination of traditional crossover theory with practical field use. Over the years, a number of refinements and new models have been added to our crossover series, but the original design goals have remained the same: to produce a crossover which is sonically accurate, is flexible enough to suit a wide variety of systems, and affords maximum protection for speakers and drivers.

All Ashly crossovers are based upon the same powerful state-variable filter circuit, which guarantees that two adjacent frequency band outputs always remain in phase. Our crossovers offer a number of useful and unusual features, including continuous tuning, a response control, and a unique output stage which maintains low noise at any level setting. These models also include a 200:1 tuning range, output mute switches, and both TRS and XLR connectors. Like other Ashly products, your crossover features low noise and distortion, active balanced inputs, a peak level indicator, a precision regulated power supply, protection against abnormal input or output conditions, and rugged mechanical construction. Conservative design and an unusually thorough procedure for quality control have earned Ashly a reputation for dependability in the recording, sound reinforcement, and broadcast fields.

Response Control an Ashly Exclusive...
This control, found adjacent to the crossover frequency control, adjusts the damping of the filter affecting the response shape of the filters at the crossover point. The dial calibrations refer to the amount of attenuation effected by the filter at the crossover frequency, i.e., a setting of 3dB means that the filter's high-pass and low-pass outputs are each "rolled off 3dB at the crossover point“. This describes Butterworth filter response, or a gentle 3dB peak at the crossover point when the two filter output signals overlap. To obtain a flat signal, or "Linkowitz-Riley" response through the crossover region, set the Response control to "6“. This attenuates each output of the filter by 6dB at the crossover point (two identical signals added together yield a +6dB increase). To obtain a notch at the crossover point, turn down the response control past "6" to best suit your needs.

The purpose of this control is to help offset the inaccuracies inherent in typical loudspeakers, thereby helping you to achieve a flat system response. NOTE: The Response control is not a "slope" control. A 24dB/octave crossover will always have a slope of 24dB/octave. The Response control only affects filter response shape in the immediate vicinity of the crossover frequency; the ultimate crossover slope is a fixed parameter.

The VENU360 provides all the processing and flexibility you need between your mixer and amplifiers to optimize and protect your loudspeakers. With the latest advancements in dbxʼs proprietary AutoEQ and AFS algorithms, additional input channels, ethernet control via an Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows device, and updated wizards, the DriveRack VENU360 continues the DriveRack legacy of great-sounding, powerful, and affordable loudspeaker management processors, for a whole new generation.

Based on a two-in, six-out topology, the DC-One is designed primarily for users of small-to-medium sized sound systems in both mobile and installed applications. While the unit is an all-new development based on a powerful SHARC processor, it is 100 percent compatible with all settings from other Electro-Voice signal processors. A large part of DC-Oneʼs development was aimed at ensuring that users can easily handle its serious digital horsepower and high-end audio performance. Free.

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.
