All user reviews for the Behringer Ultra-Drive Pro DCX2496

I made this acquisition 6 months ago to complete a rack PA, where I have 3 amps: 2x200, 2x500, 2x600 of SLX IISeries MacMah of which were previously distributed by a spliter analog. I substituted DCX2496, unwanted by spliter broadband. Each amp supports speaker Gemini RS 10 ", 12", 15 ", these speakers have different curves and complementary, I cover the bandwidth evenly. Configuration easy to eouvre places in the acoustic complex. The DCX is powered by a DEQ2496 in AES3, this digital connection allows me to carry the signal without loss or distortion at distances of the order of 100 meters and more with DMX cable, this configuration prevents remote amp rack hp cables too long and very expensive. DEQ is responsible for bandwidth autoEQ hp in the spatial configuration of the DCX. torque DEQ Behringer DCX is highly complementary and a very decent quality. equipment is used properly can easily compete with much more expensive configurations.
At each make good analysis before buying equipment. For my part this material satisfies me in that I actually use.
There is no bad tools ....

My audio config:
Yamaha MG166CXUSB
TC Eletronic M ONE XL
Behringer DEQ2496
Behringer DCX2496
MacMah IISeries SLX 200, 500, 600
Gemini RS310, 312.315
Puisance rated 2x900W multicast.

I changed in the meantime and now I have a Xilica XA2040.
The DCX brought me a little breath analog (I could not try because my digital sources are only analog) that bothered me but nothing more. The problem was that the bass had become "soft and messy." I found precise bass and punchy with Xilica.
on the other hand in Xilica, use xconsole to adjust if it is really hassle because unintuitive from the front of the unit. In addition, it must "revive" xconsole from time to time on the ordo otherwise it tends to "hang". Nothing serious for me because once set, I do not touch virtually no (fixed always in the same configuration amps / speakers etc ...).
In short, the DCX is in my opinion for a beginner who does not have large financial resources because it is comprehensive and easy to adjust ultimately for an attractive rate.
But it has its limitations in terms of the sound quality (low level for me), I could compare with Xilica I have today is much better in this register.

Hope to have helped ...

Reproduction of recorded music and sound organ, synthesizers, electric guitar, drums and other musical instruments.

this should do well 4 years we've used this product.

we compared with other BSS and ORPHEUS.

its prices are undeniably strong point. nobody can say the airworthiness contraire.la menu of DCX is absolutely not didactic and intuitive PC software when it has finished particularly well. for the purist, the converters are not on top it's true, but for € 15 already changed the output capacitor by MKT and can beat his good, as hifi sound.

value for money is undeniable, a 10/10 has bheringer.

with experience, yes it is without hesitation that I will take this product. and I recommend it.

LOUT note: we have over 20 nimble and never had any problems with it, but beware if the nimble are on internal memory and a reset is perform nimble are deleted, do not you have reset it by accident.

A device with three inputs and 6 outputs, all is fully configurable:
- Trs complete cross-over (each output has a possibility to have high-pass filter and at the same time a low pass, each with slopes of up 48dB/oct, like Butterworth, Linkwitz, Bessel)
- 5-band equalizer settings on each input and output
- Routing (slightly limited hlas)
- Delays which may account for the temprature (and thus the speed of sound)
- Limiter per output (the release is a bit faster actually)
- A phase SETTING THE (???)
- And a dynamic eq param (compressor) and output by between (which I've never used)

A device trs trs complete it may be but not quite pro extrment useful.

Trs breath is reasonable and certainly inaudible signal even with a low trs.

Rglages can be locked (in whole or part) and then for fixed installations or lease is impeccable.

The paramtrage is quite tedious, how could they have done differently with the same opportunity?

The manual is brief, but the use is actually quite intuitive. There is no info in electro-acoustic, nothing to help the nophyte (fawns but all this is a subject too vast and specialist in the same are not of agree on everything)

I used this Systm with live music and DJ facilities also without problem.

I build my speakers gnralement same and I can j'apprcie normment matriser so parameter.

The LORD Systm problem of overlap between the speakers (sub and top for example) may rsoudre without much difficulty. With other Systmes the frquence recovery n'tait CONTRL not well (at least an octave with disturbances). Here I have the tool that allows me to any rgler.

I used about a dozen configs.

Prcdemment I built my own filters and needs all ncessaire it!

Lack may be a limiting RMS power (for the few people who know what a serving!)

At this price why hsiter? It's really a great tool.

For once, I'm really happy to Behringer! (J'esprre that I will not change your mind)

I have only these few words on the ass!
I use the DCX2496 since May 2004, and I am delighted to office and his musicality. The use via a PC interface and the free edition (available on the behringer site) make it a real little racing machine, all functions can be accessed quickly and easily. The use without a PC is a little heavier, just to get started: Parameter access is fairly intuitive, it is clear that the view of the quantities: functions, we can not do it right the first time! The automatic phasing is just great, I'm sorry but there is no automatic linearization, it would have been the icing on the cake, but good. Half as much as the smallest DBX that is not connected to the PC, I am so far happy with this purchase.

Processor unit, the DCX2496 shines with a neat finish. The quality of the converters is exelente,, even at low level: the breath is negligible. The effectiveness of the corrections, compressor limiters, active filters, etc, ... are simply very effective and accurate.

The use is a little complicated at first, but with a little game with features, it is possible to tame the beast quickly given the number of functions, do not ask, just to get started! The editor PC is magic! Using become as easy as cabbage!

Great sound quality, I was surprised that even tried the Behringer reverbs and other mid-range digital systems.

J'aurrais like a automatic linearization of the response, but for € 400, the product is very honorable, great view. (No, I'm not the seller, must recognize the right products, that's it! )

It's a crossover with TRS powerful functions used by all as eg dynamic, limiters etc. ....

Using simple condition to understand what a limit or a delay or frquence cutoff. With PC, it is even easier to start. In addition to the ULTRACURVE, you can connect directly with a single numrique XLR cable .... this is good.

I test this weekend in size. I had a dbx 234XL more before the compressors before the amps. Well, the DCX2496 filter well and grows strong a word. No saturation, no noise or other numrique. I have the same reducing the input gain and output in order to allow the table to mix up a little above the -20 db.

Given the purchase price, the simplicity of wiring, the sound, there is no doubt this product is well made and compare DBX DRPA, there is not much diffrence. BEHRINGER products out really well finished and fonctionnenet reasonable prices.

This is a crossover 2 x 3-way with a few functions complmentaires. It possde analog and numriques. I use it in combination with and attacked by a DEQ2496. The XLR connector is as shown in the photo, it is rack mountable.

Pretty easy to use it took me a Journe for discovering the set with the DEQ2496 (see this) and find rglages that suited me. The menus are fairly intuitive, but the rglages many people come here quickly and trs trs easily (without read the manual) After a few days.

The sound seems trs good, Reserved (amlioration possible) tweeters concern of B & W 802S1 (1980) he attacks. Trs well as the possibility to mute the power (in case of power brve example!, I'm afraid to break the tweeters direct attack by more than 100W)
It heats can be a bit much and I plan to CRER openings to facilitate cooling (loss of warranty, but ...)

I used the last one month, my MODEL Previous (20 years dj silent fixed analog 4-way hand-made of APRS Elektor (24 db / octave)
In my exprience APRS brand, it is a report quality / price ratio.
A purchase and a solution (active amplification-direct) recommend even in stereo, the price of a good amp trs HC 6 channels as trs OCCAZ affordable and not have to have the last d encoder trick or thing. Amme is a back-up channel in case of breakage ... All you need is a direct between 6 ch. end of the text in November 2008

Last Day 07 2009:
APRS searching the internet "DCX2496," I seek the amliorer. using kits and clock power, the device is not guaranteed ... As I attack with digital, I'm not going to change the analog inputs.

There is indeed little lack of clarity in the upper midrange and treble which I spoke in November and I put down the B & W (I purchased the HP 2496 and at the same time). No excessive noise, but finding the receiver (AVR745 or Yam1400) potentiomtres are placed with APRS.
J'tais a bit skeptical but the change Selectronic power and linear VCXO Superclock amliore clarity in the treble and mdium. (I finished this August 1, 2009) is however a bit expensive I think (the amount of kit are limits) and many sr risk! See for yourself ...
Other changes on 8 10 2009 - I think most INTERESTED-replacement op amps by LME49720 (6 eur x12 pice for outputs, watch datasheet poustouflant! The only paramtre o can be beaten is the slew rate is 20V / s is the minimum ncessaire 4V / s because my amp is limited 40V / s el the voltage gain is 20 dB, is not they who will limit this settings) the noise is reduced by 10 dB. It becomes difficult to measure ditorsion (one of the PDO). Clarity wins again (much) my "trick" to test a system that audio:
focus on one instrument or voice and then another if you can not hear that (that) the you in your (very) good ...
I did not choose the solution site speaks well known "DCX2496.fr". I cons by the virtual capacitors liaisonde 6 F 47 (replaced by a simple "bridge"). The offset of the DAC and the PDO is so low even with tempratures limits would lead to a fraction of a volt speaker terminals which would lead to a warming say less than 0.01 W and for a certain HP dcalage mcanique a fraction of a mm.
October 15, 2009 I replaced the DAC of AK4396 by their cousins, I found on Ebay 12 eur, reus in 4 days!
There remains the possibility to interface digital output (6 channels). This site is about the US http://www.asi-tek.com/ but what a price! (This is info I'm not as good as the kits)

Perfectionist, I searched in vain for a replaceable at a reasonable price, which I found more than 1000 .. 8000 euro did not convince me. Some models much more expensive also has bugs, watch it on Youtube o ide to change it.

I still strongly recommend, but do not ask anything of him ... after all the changes made, you get an excellent camera (exceptional?) For less than 700 eur. With these changes, I put a 10!
I complt all with REV2496 (still available in the States) for the rear speakers (center channel of the amp and 2x Bose 801)

Note: my programming: LR filter 48 dB / Oct Low (393Hz low pass) Mid (bandpass) High (high pass 4.98kHz) Stereo
Param filter + Q = 10 (1 Low, 2 of Mid, High on a) there is 4% of memory free (as in a PC with 1 GB of ram, no user 1 GB). You can program and simulate Tlcharger your rglages To check your config maker on the site. I do not perois diffrence when I change the frquences cutoff of 2% up or down (RESOLUTION DCX2496 the corresponding octave 1.4%) may be good be that I do implement the "golden ears" .

APRS DIFFERENT forums and read reviews for this product, I have a feeling he does dbat.
So we find people trs happy and others less, or not at all ...
Let's see ... I'll give you my humble opinion story to add some more ... Contents!
CHARACTERISTICS see the machine on the Behringer site. There is everything to be happy.

THE FIRST grip is not easy, especially when it's the very first time we use this type of device.
Do not dcourager hsiter hack and not to learn the functions of rglage. It took me a good grip of Journe, APRS everything seems empty. It's always the same with these machines .. It's like the synths!
The shipping program is easy once you get the pig thing!
However, the manual is fairly explicit. Ah yes ... I've seen better!
The functions are many, and compltes me more than enough.

I have some breath down the volume. APRS Checker moult in my installation, it is with the DCX. This is to remind us that he does not rate 300 Euros and there is no secret, there is always better but more expensive!
If you do that the sound is not a problem. HiFi, it will dpendre your level of rigor and the quality of your dj Facilities Submitted.
So sound quality issue, I think it's good for the sound system and DJ for a lot of HiFi. True, there are better ... but what price?
Dfine out your use and your goals. There will always be a product at a fair price that our answer your application. The trick is to know what you do with your system not to go wrong choices. So you will not.

I use it for more than six months.
I like ct "Swiss knife".
I have not tried other brands before. I needed something quickly, but also full no trs much for allowing me to add a sub, (then a 2nd) in my installation and it has done its rle.
The report price is good quality.
I would do if I had the choice beginners again ...! But we do beginners once!
One day he will be on sale and I m'achterais something better. This is the spinning wheel. It allows us to evolve slowly but srement! Meanwhile, the Behringer what they say makes me good service.
If you have money dpart ds, choose a direct Yamaha SP2060, a DBX 260 or other Diverack Dynacord DSP 244 to be quiet.
In short, I find that Behringer is well dbrouille sound and not bad as a HiFi in terms of price.
Also, if you pull the language issue budget and you have to buy everything, I think that it is better, at first, focus on quality speakers and amplifiers. APRS you'll see!
