"Trevor Wilson" wrote in message ... Has anyone tried this: http://www.behringer.com/DCX2496/index.cfm?lang=ENG Any problems? -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au I bought one for my 10kW sound system in January. Excellent unit, extremely versatile. No problems so far. The more I played with it, the more I discovered that could be done in ways that I had not considered before. All of the functions work in reality as they would appear to in theory. The filters are accurate, for instance. The electrical performance of the DCX2496 is excellent, with a flat response to 39KHz (our lab tested it). s/n is up around 114dB, so it won't add hiss to your PA. Considering the amount of features, performance and ease of setup, it's an unbeatable bang for the buck. If I were to nitpick, it is only my audiophile ears and the type of music we sometimes do here that raise two issues that Behringer would address in firmware updates if enough people requested it: The filters are tuneable down to 20 Hz. I would like to have them tuneable as far down as 15 Hz, because there are some things going on down there that I don't want to roll off (pipe organ 32' pedal stops are 16 Hz.) The Zero attack limiter should have an option to slow the attack from 0-300mS, so that peaks that breach the threshold won't 'suck out'. Midrange drivers can handle higher peak power levels for brief transients, so this strategy can make a 3,000W PA with slow attack limiters have the same 'whacking power' as a 10,000W PA with the zero attack limiters. Outside of these two minor nitpicks, the DCX2496 is impossible to duplicate in another brand at anywhere near that price range. I've seen one go as cheap as $250 on eBay last month. Deals are out there. -- Best Regards, Mark A. Weiss, P.E. www.mwcomms.com - |
