The S 3-way is a versatile 2-way, 3-way and 4-way crossover with a difference. First, it's a perfect 2-way
or 3-way stereo crossover. But its mode is also switchable for use as a 4-way mono crossover. The input
gain features +/-12dB range with LED metering and Peak indicators. S 3-way features Low, Mid and High
Frequency outputs with +/-6dB of gain control. Each output incorporates a Mute switch for monitoring the
individual frequency bands and a phase switch to invert the phase of the output. The first crossover point
is sweepable in three ranges: from 35Hz to 800Hz, from 350Hz to 8kHz with the 10X-Multiplier switch
engaged, or from 16Hz to 400Hz in 4 way low-mode. The second crossover point is sweepable from 175Hz
to 4kHz or from 350Hz to 8kHz depending on the setting of the mode switch.
The S 3-way also includes a Delay section with up to 2ms of delay to time-align low frequency outputs for
improved phase response of any PA system. S 3-way's global section features a variable threshold Limiter,
a CD function (for constant directivity horns) and High Pass Filter.

The ARX EC-2 is a flexible yet affordable 24 dB per octave Phase Correct active crossovers. It has 2 modes of operation; as either Stereo 2 way or a Mono 3 way units, with a switch on the back panel selecting either mode.
Features Ultra low noise circuitry Totally phase aligned at crossover point Switchable Dual Channel 2 way or Single Channel 3 way Unique 'semi-fixed' crossover point 24dB per octave (Fourth Order) Linkwitz-Riley filters Separate Summed Mono Output Balanced Inputs and Outputs Built in High Pass filters Intuitive, 'user friendly' layout Flawless performance in any audio environment
Tamper-Proof Crossover Points The crossover points are determined internally by the value of 4 resistors per channel; changing the resistor value changes the crossover point. This 'semi fixed' method avoids the pitfalls of externally adjusted crossover points, making the crossover points tamper-proof once they are set. Idle fingers can't fiddle with the crossover points and create havoc with the system! As a handy guide, a list of common crossover points and their corresponding resistor values are printed inside the unit's lid, and also set out in the Owner's Manual. On the front panel are level controls for Low and High in dual channel 2 way mode, and Low, Mid and High in single channel 3 way mode, with corresponding Outputs on the rear panel.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs EC-2 has Balanced Inputs and Outputs, on XLR connectors. The EC-2 also has an additional summed Mono Low output, for applications that need a Mono Low feed (e.g. Left and Right full-range plus a single Sub Bass speaker). High Pass Filter There is also a preset 30 Hz HighPass filter to remove unwanted subsonics which can damage speakers and waste amplifier power. In addition, each output has up to +6 dB of gain available, to compensate for amplifiers and speakers of differing sensitivities. Universal AC Power AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240VAC, and is connected to the unit via a standard IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change switch. Uncompromising Audio Quality Innovative circuit design is pointless unless it delivers stunning sound quality, and here the EC-2 excels. It has been designed for uncompromising audio quality, and to achieve this, Linkwitz Riley 24dB (Fourth Order) state variable filters are used throughout, ensuring a smooth Phase Correct transition through the crossover region. From Stage Monitors to Studio Monitors, from Front of House to the Front room of your House, the ARX EC-2 is a crossover that is suited to any application that requires flawless, transparent sound. You'll never compromise on Quality when you choose ARX

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.
