If you've got a passel of loudspeakers to manage, you need Behringer's Ultra- Drive Pro DCX2496. The ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496 is the ultimate digital loudspeaker management system with an unheard-of audio quality and feature list.

Signals can be split in various ways to assure precise sound by using the optimal frequency range of each loudspeaker. Configure using the device or take advantage of Windows-based editing software. Three analog inputs and six analog outputs for maximum flexibility. Click to enlarge.Maximum Flexibility Start with its 3 analog inputs (one suitable as a digital stereo AES/EBU input) and 6 analog outputs. You get maximum flexibility in just one rack space. Superb high-end AKM 24-bit/96 kHz A/D and D/A converters give you ultimate signal integrity and an extreme dynamic range of 113 dB. Easy connection of external digital signals with sampling rates from 32 to 96 kHz is a breeze with the integrated sample rate converter. There are precise dynamic EQs for level-dependent equalization and extremely musical parametric EQs, selectable for all inputs and outputs, and "Zero"-attack limiters on all output channels guarantee optimal signal and loudspeaker protection. You also get four different mono and stereo output operating modes, all with individual crossover filter types (Butterworth, Bessel and Linkwitz-Riley) with selectable roll-off characteristics from 6 to 48 dB/octave. The delays for all inputs and outputs are adjustable. This allows you to manually or automatically correct for room temperature, phase and arrival time differences. An additional sum signal is easily derived from the A/B/C inputs. Remote Ready Now that remote control is such a hot topic, you'll be glad that the future-proof ULTRADRIVE PRO software enables single or multi remote control via PC through RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces. And the link option via RS-485 network interface enables cascading of several ULTRADRIVE PROs. A Windows-based editing software is available for download free of charge. No matter what the future brings, its open architecture assures easy software updates. A PCMCIA slot allows you to store all your settings and recall them anytime you change the location--virtually taking your ULTRADRIVE PRO with you. Pure Performance The ULTRADRIVE PRO's high-power 32-bit SHARC- DSP and ultra-high resolution CRYSTAL/AKM A/D & D/A converter provide outstanding audio performance--and the servo-balanced, gold-plated XLR connectors for all inputs and outputs guarantee excellent connectivity for the years to come.

  • Magical Device
I must review this order because as soon as the delivery guy handed it to me I noticed some unpleasant issues. It as shipped in it's original box that was all beat up and damaged. Usually amazon would put the item and its box in another box for safer transit. I don't know what happened with this one. When I turned on the unit it malfunctioned; the screen went blank and the LED's on the input A and output 1 just kept blinking. I had to tap it with my hand for it to come back on. It does this in the middle of gigs too. I am very disappointed with amazon with this order. Can't know who to blame for the malfunction!!! However, I am rating the unit 4 stars out of 5 because when it is working it is great to operate and makes the cheapest of speakers sound amazing. ... show more

  • Works well as crossover and delay unit.
I am using this as a crossover for a church keyboard ("organ") system. It works well, with 6 channels of output. I am using 4 channels in mono mode for 1. Subwoofer, 2. Low frequency, 3. High frequency, 4. Full range for small monitor speaker. The professional installer who installed the main sound system in our church also used a DCX2496 in stereo mode to drive the main PA speakers, allowing for delays to be programmed for different speaker locations. This is more cost effective than another name brand unit (3 capital letters in the name). ... show more

  • pro gear that can work at home
This unit is meant for pro audio use, but is a boon for the hi fi hobbyist who wants to build multi way speakers, or upgrade any speaker to active crossover. I give it 4 stars because of 3 I've owned two have had issues related to ribbon cable connectors inside the box suffering weak connections, which results in sizzling sounds and erratic frequency response. It took me a while to understand what the problem was, and I sold one unit for a very low price because I thought it was defective - wish I hadn't done that! The one I kept I was able to fix when I finally learned how, and modify so that the output voltage matches typical home audio gear. ... show more

  • Great product but Behringer reliability questionable
This item is perfect for my needs--tri-amplifying my mains speakers. Love that you can pick several types of filters and frequencies. It is very customizable. However, two years after use, this unit failed on my with blinking lights. This is with RESIDENTIAL use! The reports of Behringer product failures is undeniable. Not sure what professionals do except to buy backup components if they do want to use Behringer products. Funny thing, I ordered on Amazon when it was out of stock. I had a feeling it would be in stock within a week or two and sure enough, I got my email shipping confirmation. I noticed that in stock, the price jumped $50 to what other online vendors were selling at. Glad I got a deal on it! ... show more

  • If you use three or more amplifiers, you need one of these!
I have an extensive sound system that I use for a variety of events: DJ for dances, weddings, and etc., concerts outside and in gymnasiums or similar venues, PA for political events, school field days, and more. Before I purchased the Behringer Management System I used Left and Right Main Outs, Aux 1 and 2 outs, Efx 1 and 2 outs, and Sub out, along with splitters to send the audio signals to all the amplifiers. With the Behringer I can send a mono out and split the signal. It will EQ each channel you send it to so you can tune your speakers to capitalize on their strengths (whether tweeter, mid, or sub). If you use three or more amps you need this product! ... show more

  • Behringer DCX2496s Dead on Arrival
After having listened to a modified version of this product, I and a friend both purchased one. My Behringer DCX2496 arrived and when energized, did nothing but flash all its leds and remain silent. I registered my warranty with Beheringer and filed a claim. I heard nothing from Behringer customer "service" so I contacted Amazon and took advantage of their return policy. I was very pleased that the dead device was picked up by UPS at my door and I had a replacement within three days at no further cost to me. I did not hear from Behringer for about a week and the eMail from their representative indicated they could do nothing until I sent them a copy of a printed receipt from Amazon and then they would contact me with a return authorization. I let them know I felt their response was tardy,ineffective and inadequate. When contrasted with the supurb response from Amazon, Beheringer was all that I characterized. My friend had a similar experience which makes two out of three of these products dead on arrival with identical symptoms. I am very pleased with Amazon but warn you all to be aware of this unreliability issue and the slow and bureaucratic response of Behringer to their customers. ... show more

  • INCREDIBLY VERSATILE but HORRIBLE manual
I own several Behringer products. This one is an unbelievable bargain. However it is overshadowed by the fact that their manuals are terrible. Trial and error taking many hours have had to be done. I truly would pay $100.00 EXTRA for a comprehensive user guide. I cannot understand how a company can make such wonderfully versatile and VERY low priced items and have seemingly NO concern about letting buyers know how to use it. 5 stars for the product. ZERO stars for information. ... show more
