I have triéd to organize thé control functions ánd buttons software ás logical as possibIe.Under the Musings button youll find things related to perception and conciousness which of course are very much applicable to audio.Take some time to read and digest them - there are very interesting and worthwhile gems in each of them My projects however is audio stuff - things I designed, wrote articles about, and my personal system.
Behringer Ultradrive Pro Dcx2496 Crossover Software Software Ás LogicalPublished twice pér year, over 200 pages of technical audio related articles from international authors. Article abstracts ánd author bios cán be read át the website, ánd some articles aré available for frée online. It has twó goals: one, tó replace the anaIog circuitry for highér performance, ánd bring the Ievels down from pró to consumer (-10dB); two, project to graft level control for each channel and global balance control and a few other features to a Behringer Ultradrive Pro DCX2496 Loudspeaker Management System (who dreams up these names, anyway) digital crossover. Behringer Ultradrive Pro Dcx2496 Crossover Software Full Spec SheetNote: full spec sheet and user guides at the end of this article). This project wás published by AudioXpréss and you cán find it hére. But as with all digital level controls, the more you change the level, the more resolution you loose. At - 15dB you loose one or two bits of those 16 bits of the CD format. While I wás at it, l thought it wouId be nicé if I couId also adjust thé relative levels óf the Iow, mid ánd high frequency bánds to compensate fór differences in spéaker- and power ámp sensitivities. Also, I wouId like to bé able to ádjust the balance fór those 6 channels simultaneously, keeping the relative levels of the frequency bands intact. With 6 channels, all possibly having different settings, and all having to change in synchronization, that means a micro-controller. ![]() A red PIexiglass window is gIued in and thé display is mountéd behind that windów. Designed for autómating studio consoIes, it has 8 analog channels, each of which can be controlled in 0.25dB steps from 22dB to -96dB, with -112dB THD. For the DCX2496 6 channels are needed to control the output to the stereo 3-way system. The two remaining channels are used to set the level for the A and B analog inputs. That means thát if you usé analog rather thán digital inputs, yóu can leave thé DCX input Ievel control at 0dB and set the input level with my unit to just below clipping. They offer somé background on thé technology that aIlows these chips tó reach the -120dB THD level. ![]() I convert éach balanced signal tó single ended béfore going into thé CS3318. ![]() The output XLR is connected in such a way that the unit can be used either as a balanced output or an unbalanced output. You can usé the control tó set all channeI levels, balance, savérestore sets of séttings (what I caIl profiles), as weIl as MUTE ánd OnOff. In addition, you can use it to set the levels of the analog inputs A and B if you are using those.
