Behringer DCX2496 Manual De Usuario

ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496 User Manual

To operate a loudspeaker system that consists of several speakers for the various 

frequency bands requires different input signals for the individual loudspeakers. 

This requires a frequency crossover network that devides the input signal into 

several frequency bands. For this purpose, the ULTRADRIVE PRO provides up to 

six outputs.
Multi-way speaker systems are used in many applications—including stereo 

systems, cinemas, discotheques and concert halls. Due to the high quality 

demands made by today’s consumers, they can even be found in “simple” 

products such as TV sets. Why?
A single loudspeaker cannot reproduce the entire audible frequency spectrum 

with the same high quality. If it is connected to a crossover network and 

only has to reproduce a limited frequency band, the quality will improve 

considerably in terms of frequency response and dispersion pattern. This also 

reduces  intermodulation distortion in the treble range (due to the diaphragm 

displacement produced by bass frequencies).

1.1.1  Shipment
The ULTRADRIVE PRO was carefully packed in the factory to guarantee safe 

transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the 

packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have 

occurred during transit.

1.1.2  Initial operation

required safety standards.

Fig. 2.1: Input LEDs and display

(1) 

The DCX2496 features three 6-segment LED displays (plus CLIP and 

MUTE LED) for precise level adjustment of input signals A-C.

(2) 

If the input stage is overdriven, the CLIP LED will indicate that the signal 

is distorting. 

(3) 

The bottom LED (#8) is the MUTE LED (red), which illumiates when the 

respective input is muted (see chapter 4.6).

(4) 

These are the input channel buttons, which allow you to activate specific 

functions from the selected menus (e.g. MUTE). Additionally, you can use 

these buttons to call up the IN A/B/C menus (see chapter 4.3).

(5) 

The DISPLAY shows all the menus available for preset editing.
