Fig. 2.2: Menu buttons and data wheel

(6)Use these buttons to call up the DCX2496’s menus (e.g. SETUP, RECALL, etc.). The only exception is the COMPARE button, which allows you to compare the edits made with the previously selected presets. When COMPARE is active, no value changes can be entered.

(7)The PAGE buttons select single pages from one menu.

(8)Individual parameters can be selected with the PARAM buttons.

(9)The data wheel allows you to edit the selected parameters.

(10)With the OK and CANCEL buttons you can either confirm or cancel any settings made.

(11)The PCMCIA card slot is used to exchange files between your DCX2496 and a PC card with a flash memory.

◊Please only use “5 V ATA Flash Card” PC cards (min. 4 MB). Even though the memory capacity of the medium can be selected freely, you can only store a maximum of 60 presets.

Fig. 2.3: Output LEDs

(12)Outputs 1-6 each have a six 5-segment LED display (plus MUTE, CLIP and LIMIT LED) showing the respective output levels.

(13)Like the input stages, the output stages should not be overdriven, i.e. the CLIP LED should not illuminate.

(14)The LIMIT LED illuminates when the limiter for the corres­ponding output has been activated and is operating.

(15)The bottom LED indicator (#8) is the MUTE LED, which illuminates as soon as the corresponding output is muted (see chapter 4.6).

(16)Output channel buttons, with which you can enter the outputs 1-6 (see chapter 4.5) or mute or reactivate individual outputs in MUTE mode (4.6).

(17)Use the POWER switch to put your DCX2496 into operation. The POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when you are about to connect your unit to the mains.

Fig. 2.4: Mains connector and RS-232/RS-485 interface

(18)This is the FUSE HOLDER of your DCX2496. Blown fuses must be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating.

(19)The mains connection is an IEC receptacle. An appropriate power cord is included.

(20)The 9-pin RS-232 interface allows you to connect your DCX2496 to a computer. This enables you to save and load files, update the DCX2496 operating software, or remotely control one or several ULTRADRIVE PRO units from a PC. Free editor software can be downloaded at behringer.com.

(21)When you have daisy-chained several ULTRADRIVE PRO via the LINK connectors (see (22)), please press the TERM switch on the first and last unit of the chain, to avoid data reflections and transmission errors.

◊General rule: As soon as one device in the chain is integrated into the system via only one of the LINK connectors, the TERM switch must be pressed (ON). Detailed information on this can be found in chapter 4.2.6 “Miscellaneous”.

(22)Use the LINK connectors A and B (RS-485 network interface)

and a commercially available network cable to daisy-chain several ULTRADRIVE PROs.

Fig. 2.6: Input connectors

(24)Balanced XLR input connectors A, B and C are used for connecting input signals. Input A can also be used for digital AES/EBU input signals. Input C can be used for line signals or for connecting a measuring microphone. If AUTO ALIGN has been enabled in the SETUP menu (see chapter 4.2.2), input C will be set for mic levels automatically. Additionally, phantom power for the measuring microphone will be switched on.
