The following SUM pages are 100% identical to the IN A/B/C pages 2/5 to
5/5 (see chapters 4.3.2 to 4.3.5)!
4.5 OUT 1-6 menu
Press one of the OUT 1-6 buttons to enter the OUTPUT menu of the respective
output. Here, you can set the IN-OUT conguration, X-OVER POINT or, as with the
input signals, the EQ and DYNAMIC EQ parameters.
4.5.1 GENERAL
Fig. 4.38: Out 5 ➠ General
On the rst page of this menu, the parameter INPUT SOURCE allows you to
choose the input signal feeding the selected output. Available options are the
inputs A-C and the additional SUM signal. If a STEREO-LINK conguration has
been previously selected in the SETUP menu (see chapter 4.2.1. IN/OUT), inputA
will automatically be routed to the LEFT CHANNEL outputs, and input B to the
RIGHT CHANNEL outputs. However, these preset congurations can be edited
asdesired.
The OUT 16 GAIN parameter controls the volume level of the respective
output channel (also pre-EQ, pre-DYNAMIC EQ, etc.). The setting range is from
-15 to +15dB. Just as the inputs, the output levels should be set properly to
avoiddistortion.
The third parameter, OUT 16NAME can be used to assign specic names to the
outputs. In contrast to the DCX2496 inputs, you cannot enter single characters
here, but you may choose from a list of preset names (e.g. LEFT LOW-MID,
RIGHTHI-MID, SUBWOOFER etc.). Depending on the output conguration
(e.g.LMHLMH) and the output selected, the system assigns a default name.
Thisname can be changed at any time by using the data wheel to select a
dierent name from thelist.

4.5.2 XOVER POINTS
On this page, you can dene the cuto frequencies and lter curves for the
individual outputs, which are displayed graphically for one stereo side and over
the entire frequency range. Use the OUT buttons 1-6 to select the output to be
processed. A frame around the selected OUT number highlights your selection.
Fig. 4.39: Out 5 ➠ X-Over Points
Use the TYPE parameter in the top left corner of the display to dene the type
of curve at the lower (left) slope. To dene the upper (right) slope, use the TYPE
parameter in the top right corner of the display. Both parameters are marked by
a curve symbol.
You can choose from three dierent types of lters:
1. Butterworth (with a slope of either 6, 12, 18, 24 or 48 dB/oct)
2. Bessel (with a slope of either 12 or 24 dB/oct.)
3. Linkwitz-Riley (with a slope of either 12, 24 or 48 dB/oct.)
◊ With higher slopes, the number of filters goes down (see EQ page 3/6,
display >FREE<). For each 12 dB increase in slope, you will lose 1-2 EQs.
The FREQ parameter in the top left corner of the display selects the lower (left)
cuto frequency for one output. With the same parameter on the right-hand
side you can determine the upper (right) cuto frequency. These parameters,
too, aremarked by a curve symbol.
The XOVER ADJUST MODE, when set to “FREE”, allows you to enter all TYPE
and FREQ values, independent of one another. When set to “LINK”, you can couple
the X-Over lters of adjacent outputs. Though your entries are retained, theywill
be proportionally shifted with each parameter change. When you shift the
upper cuto frequency of OUT 1 in the LMHLMH conguration for test purposes,
thelower cuto frequency of OUT 2 will be shifted as well.
The following pages 3/8 to 5/8 (EQ, DYNAMIC EQ (FILTER) and DYNAMIC EQ
(DYNAMICS)) are 100% identical to the IN pages 3/5 to 5/5!
4.5.3 LIMITER
To protect your power ampliers and loudspeakers, the ULTRADRIVE PRO
DCX2496 features a limiter for each of the six outputs. Use this device to suppress
harmful level peaks.
Fig. 4.40: Out 5 ➠ Limiter
Use the LIMITER parameter to switch this function ON or OFF. The corresponding
THRESHOLD parameter determines (similarly to the DYNAMIC EQ) the LIMITER
threshold (-24 to 0 dB). RELEASE controls the recovery time that elapses
between the point when the signal drops below THRESHOLD and the deactivation
of the LIMITER function (20 to 4,000 ms).
4.5.4 POLARITY/PHASE
Any phase errors at the outputs (cancellation of specic frequency ranges) may
be corrected here.
