dBTechnologies DSX 2040 2-In 4-Out Digital Controller
Brand
D B TECHNOLOGIES
The dBTechnologies DSX 2040 is a digital loudspeaker management system designed for mobile rack setups and fixed audio installations. Featuring 2 inputs and 4 outputs with flexible signal routing, it operates on a 40-bit floating-point DSP at a 96 kHz sampling rate with 24-bit A/D converters to deliver high-resolution signal processing and system protection for active multi-way speaker configurations.
The dBTechnologies DSX 2040 is a versatile 2-input/4-output digital loudspeaker management system meticulously engineered for both mobile touring racks and permanent sound installations. Harnessing a powerful 40-bit floating-point DSP and high-performance 24-bit A/D converters operating at a 96 kHz sampling rate, it delivers pristine audio transparency while eliminating truncation noise and distortion for total system control.
Advanced Signal Processing & Surgical Tuning
Equipped with an extensive toolkit for precise audio calibration, the DSX 2040 features 8 bands of equalization per input and output channel (supporting parametric, hi-shelf, lo-shelf, and phase control types), 31-band graphic EQ on each input, input compressors, adjustable delays up to 650 ms, and flexible crossover selections (Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley with slopes from 6 to 48 dB/oct). Additionally, precision-tunable digital limiters on every output safeguard speaker components against thermal and mechanical overload.
Intuitive Operation & Remote Management
Designed for maximum user convenience, the unit features hands-on front panel controls complemented by a 2-line x 16-character backlit LCD display and 5-segment LED level meters for real-time monitoring of each input and output. For advanced remote management, integrated USB (Type B) and RS-232 (DB9) interfaces allow audio technicians to configure systems, create custom speaker presets, and manage updates via intuitive PC software.
