Behringer DCX2496 - Professional Speaker Management System

Behringer DCX2496 is an advanced speaker management system that transforms how professional audio systems are configured. Designed for sound installation designers, live sound engineers, and entertainment venue operators, it delivers exceptional precision and flexibility in sound optimization. With its innovative DSP architecture and high‑quality components, the device becomes an indispensable tool in professional audio projects.

Product Features

The system features 24‑bit AKM 24‑bit/96 kHz converters, ensuring signal integrity and a dynamic range of 113 dB. Built‑in parametric EQ allows precise frequency correction, while zero‑time‑response limiters protect speakers from distortion. Additionally, the system offers four mono and stereo operating modes with adjustable crossover filters (Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz‑Riley) and delay adjustment for all channels, enabling perfect room‑matching.

Precision and Multi‑Functionality in One Device

Behringer DCX2496 is a solution that pushes beyond the limits of traditional speaker management systems. By splitting the signal into various frequency bands, each speaker operates in its optimal range, resulting in higher sound quality and greater system efficiency. The built‑in sample‑rate converter allows easy connection of external digital signals in the 32‑96 kHz range, eliminating format compatibility issues. The automatic delay‑correction function synchronizes even the most complex configurations, while an additional summed signal enables the creation of advanced audio setups. Integrated RS‑232 and RS‑485 interfaces allow remote control via computer, essential in large installations where physical access to the device is limited. An open architecture ensures easy firmware updates, guaranteeing the investment’s future resilience.
