The Behringer DCX2496 is equipped with high-precision 24-bit/96 kHz converters, offering excellent signal integrity and a huge dynamic range of up to 120 dB. The 3-In / 6-Out configuration includes three analog inputs — one of which also functions as a digital stereo AES/EBU input — as well as six analog outputs with gold-plated, servo-balanced XLR connectors. Additionally, the built-in sample rate converter allows easy connection of external digital signals with sampling rates from 32 to 96 kHz.

Sound processing is elevated thanks to the exceptionally precise Dynamic EQs for level-based balancing and the versatile Parametric EQs available on all inputs and outputs. The option to select various filter types (LP/BP/HP) is provided, while the crossover filters include the top types Butterworth, Bessel, and Linkwitz-Riley. With selectable roll-off characteristics from 6 to 48 dB/octave, you have full control over shaping the frequency spectrum of each speaker.

To ensure the flawless operation of your equipment, the DCX2496 features built-in limiters with zero delay on all output channels, effectively protecting the speakers from unwanted overloads. Additionally, fully adjustable delays on all inputs and outputs allow for both manual and automatic correction of phase, arrival time, as well as changes caused by room temperature, ensuring perfectly aligned sound.

The device offers four different mono and stereo output modes, covering every possible audio system architecture. The additional Sum signal function from inputs A/B/C creates a fourth internal input for even greater routing flexibility. For the immediate recall of your settings, 60 internal user presets are provided, allowing you to easily save and transfer parameters for different spaces or systems.

Thanks to the free software ULTRADRIVE PRO, managing and programming the device becomes a breeze via computer. The connection is made through RS-232 and RS-485 ports, while the linking capability via RS-485 allows for daisy-chaining and simultaneous control of multiple ULTRADRIVE PRO units, making it ideal for large and complex audio installations.

Designed for installation in a 1U rack, the Behringer DCX2496 features an internal switch-mode power supply (100 - 240 V~) that ensures operation without unwanted noise, excellent transient response, and low power consumption. Its robust construction combined with Behringer's reliability makes it a long-term investment for every audio professional.
