DBX 260 COMPLETE EQ – LOUDSPEAKER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

DBX 260 DRIVE RACK Complete Equalizaton & Loudspeaker Management System

There is a reason that Tour Sound Professionals and discriminating Audio
Contractors choose dbx? DriveRack? products for their high-end tours
and installs. The DriveRack products provide the tools that ensure that the
system sounds its very best. With the introduction of the new 260, the
heritage of unrivaled system/loudspeaker control continues.
The 260 capitalizes on the road tested and contractor approved nature of
the other products in the DriveRack line. The 260 provides full bandpass
and crossover configurations as well as independent output processing
and a full time RTA for live sound applications. Contractors will appreciate
its control inputs for wall-panel logic control and the patent-pending Advanced
Feedback Suppression (AFS?).
The DriveRack 260 continues the legacy of DriveRack series, which has
been created by the company that has been redefining the standard of
signal processing for more than 30 years. The DriveRack 260 was designed
with the purpose and vision of providing state-of-the-art signal processing,
while utilizing a simple and intuitive user interface. This goal has been
achieved by offering two independent channels of processing power with
a linkable 28-Band Graphic Equalizer, industry-standard dbx stereo
compressor module, feedback eliminator and the 120A Subharmonic
Synthesizer on the input, with a six channel output system that includes
parametric EQs, PeakStopPlus? limiters (to provide protection against
speaker blowouts) and alignment delay. These features combined with the
Wizard setup system and complete DriveWare? GUI control represent a
methodical design that is guaranteed to deliver optimal, all-inclusive processing
in a completely scalable system.

Full-featured Speaker Processing in a 1U Space
Speaker processing can be a complicated business requiring a substantial array of equipment, but the Yamaha SP2060 offers everything you need in a single rack space. This innovative 24-bit, 96-kHz digital speaker processor delivers excellent sound quality, an impressive variety of processing functions — gain, delay, PEQ, comp, crossover, limiter, and an all-pass filter for phase adjustment — and intuitive programming from Yamaha's DME Designer application running on a personal computer. It has two analog inputs and six analog outputs, plus two AES/EBU format digital inputs for connectivity with a broad range of systems. And if you use Yamaha Installation Series Speakers, all you need to do is select one of the many optimized presets provided for great sound with minimum measurement and setup time. The SP2060 is a compact, portable 1U unit that is ideal for live sound or installations.

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.

The DX 4008 is a complete 4 input - 8 output digital loudspeaker management system designed for the touring or fixed sound installation markets.

The absolute latest in available technology is utilized with 32-bit (40-bit extended) floating point processor and high performance 24-bit Analog Converters. The high-bit DSP prevents noise and distortion induced by truncation errors of the commonly used 24-bit fixed-point devices. A complete set of parameters include I/O levels, delay,polarity, 6 bands of parametric EQ per channel, multiple crossover selections and full function limiters. The DX 4008 can be controlled or configured in real time on the panel or with the intuitive PC GUI accessed via the RS 232 interface. Software upgrade for CPU and DSP via PC keeps the device current with newly developed algorithms and function once available. Multiple setup storage and system security complete this professional package.
