i need do some extra testing on DCX 2496 i have they are cheap used decent dsp crossover management system i think i have x 4 of them . are very decent for common matched JBL professional cinema LCR with one unit and second unit for Lc Re and ( SWE / LFE.1 ) would be same for left/right half surrounds arrays and centre middle surround and ( modified overhead surrounds ) and below surrounds .
con issue they get rather hot !
con lcd display has to be adjusted each one never same contrast
con hiss input channel C to output channel 5 6 ?
makes me wonder what engineers at behringer test gear have ? the hiss shouldn't be there pa gear or not should not be there , can be solved at silly modified overpriced not even willing to pay the issue should never exist .
con not enough Ram i guess when using all the PEQ on ABC inputs to outputs to dynamic EQ and crossover slopes , free space % gets used up very fast and 9 PEQ should be updated for at least 120 bands per ABC input and for each outputs 1 2 3 4 5 6 . 9 isn't enough to tackle with . even 120 will be just barely but it needs updating and made into a mark III version model with bit higher U frame to handle at least basic 8 inputs with 16 outputs at the same selling price as the DCX 2496 so dbx will have serious competition . and no hiss at all . with a better larger lcd display . auto eq for the lazy and manual eq for the dedicated serious user with JBL speakers
. manual eq rules . auto eq is for lazy .
lcd display would have to go way , way past QC testing so it doesn't mess up .
heat levels inside to be kept down even thou electronics its hard and are often the enemy of all electronics it must be kept lower than the DCX2496 while units are rack mounted together .
oh yes i think a better EQ memory ( EQm ) way , way sort of like larger than the universe .
1st EQm the speakers up close with mic on each bass HF horn . that then goes in the memory .
2nd EQm for behind projection screen where mic placed close to bass HF horns tested EQ goes in the memory .
3rd EQm mic placed near seating for final EQ then goes in the memory .
4th EQm will have date memory that can be stored on the ( DCXPlus8/16Extra 2496 )
or on memory sticks as there are around i think 5 billion movies worldwide since dawn of motion pictures early 20th century even thou really started late 19th century not many know this .
4th EQm to be used for adjust movies that are toppy sounding and that also can then for each movie to be adjusted for the true JBL professional reproduction with actual THX can be adjusted for the room size with theatrical mixes without ever the need for near field rubbish mixes ever again .
better audio limiters that do not make clipping popping crackling noises when threshold is adjusted smooth audio limiting for all independent channel outputs .
improved time delay that doesn't make clicking or timing out issues when adjusting time delay get sound drop outs or muted sound for briefly when switching the time delay .
better phase adjustment in 1 steps rather than 5 steps at time .
get george lucas to lick THX stamp and slap it on the front as it looks cool .
higher speed so it even passes by Amir with the highest sinad rating without need for headless panther
or me throwing in the cat litter box
also PEQ filters to extend down to 0Hz as with crossover frequency range down to 0Hz ,
no need for it to go above 20KHz unless your entertaining your dog , cat and pet bat .
auto heat sense control with device attached so can auto adjust for speed of sound .
as ex projectionist i'm just trying think what a new behringer management system should be doing to tackle it all
i think i have covered it what a new berhinger management system should be doing .
), the number of available frequency steps is just excellent, and I love how I can let REW now do all of the number crunching.
