31ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496 User Manual

With two DCX2496 units you can even realize today’s most popular surround format:

5.1.In addition to the speaker cabinets and power amps (or active speakers as in the simplified illustration shown here), all you need is a surround decoder to play back pre-produced 5.1 material such as DVDs, or a mixing console with six outputs (e.g. stereo out plus four subgroups). In the latter case, you can create highly sophisticated surround mixes even without a special surround sound decoder.

The preset “5.1 FRONT” has been optimized for the L-C-R front speakers with 2 speaker ways each (see also chapter 5.3). The three signals required “Front-Left, Front-Center, Front-Right” are routed via the three inputs (A, B, C) to the first DCX2496.

On the second DCX2496, the preset “5.1 REAR” should be used as a starting point. It supplies the two rear surround speakers (also 2-way systems) plus the monophonic sub-bass channel (“LFE” = “Low Frequency Enhanced”) with the input signals “Rear-Left, Rear-Right and Sub-bass”, using connectors In A, B, C. The sixth output of the second ULTRADRIVE PRO is not used in this application, but is left available for additional effects or as a mono delay line.
