1. Introduction
To operate a loudspeaker system that consists of several speakers for the various frequency bands requires di erent input signals for the individual loudspeakers. This requires a frequency crossover network that divides the input signal into several frequency bands. For this purpose, the ULTRADRIVE provides up to sixoutputs.
Multi-way speaker systems are used in many applications—including stereo systems, cinemas, discotheques and concert halls. Due to the high quality demands made by today’s consumers, they can even be found in “simple” products such as TV sets. Why?
A single loudspeaker cannot reproduce the entire audible frequency spectrum with the same high quality. If it is connected to a crossover network and only has to reproduce a limited frequenc y band, the quality will improve considerably in terms of frequency response and dispersion pattern. This also reduces intermodulation distortion in the treble range (due to the diaphragm displacement produced by bass frequencies).
◊ ◊ This manual first describes the terminology used, so that
you understand the unit and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

3. Quick Start
This chapter is for those who cannot wait to use their new DCX2496(LE) in a practical application. You will  nd a description of how you can explore your DCX2496(LE) and its versatile and intuitive features below. This chapter is just a starting point for future excursions. So, please read the entire user’s manual to take full advantage of all your DCX2496(LE)'s features andfunctions.
3.1 Selecting an Output Con guration
Press the SETUP button to call up the SETUP menu. On the  rst menu page, selectan output con guration (OUTCONFI GURATION) to determine which outputs are used for which frequency ranges. One mono and three stereo con gurations areavailable.
The mono con guration allows you to split the input signal into six di erent frequency ranges. The stereo con gurations allow a maximum of three di erent frequency ranges per stereo side. The abbreviations L, Mand H stand for Low, Mid and HighSpeaker.
3.2 Setting Crossover Frequencies
In order to assign dedicated frequency bands to the output channels, you have to de ne the crossover frequencies (X-Over) for each of them. The crossover frequencies determine the upper and lower limits of a frequency band, whichallows you to clearly separate the outputs from each other in terms offrequency.
Press the corresponding OUT button (1-6) and select menu page 2/8 using the PAGE buttons. With the parameters FREQ and TYPE you can de ne the slope of the crossover frequenc y and also select a  lter type. When the parameter X-OVER ADJUST MODE is set to “LINK”, any changes to the crossover frequency will also shift the neighboring frequency ranges.
3.3 Muting Input/Output Channels (Mute)
Press the MUTE button to enter the MUTE menu. Here you can mute the inputs and outputs of the DCX2496(LE). On this page you can mute or activate individual channels by pressing the channel buttons (IN A-B / A-C and OUT 1-6), or all inputs/outputs by pressing the PARAM and OK or CANCEL buttons. Thus, you can monitor each frequency band, either individually or together with a neighboring band, to allow perfect editing of the isolated frequency range. To quit the MUTE menu press MUTE a secondtime.
3.4 Storing Presets
Use the STORE button to save your presets.
3.5 Recalling Presets
Press the RECALL button to load presets from the internal memory. Select the preset you wish to recall, then press ENTER. We included some typical presets that you can use as a basis for your own applications.
3.6 Restoring the Factory Presets
If you wish to restore the ULTRADRIVE’s factory presets, press and hold both PAGE buttons on the front panel switching on the unit. The DCX2496(LE) prompts you to con rm (OK) or CANCEL. Press OK to erase the internal memory and restore the factorypresets.
4. Menu Structure and Editing
This chapter describes all functions, operating steps and parameter pages in full detail. While working with your DCX2496(LE), please keep the user’s manual on hand, and use it as a reference in case of problems.
4.1 General operating structure and displaypresentation
When you switch on your ULTRADRIVE, the display shows a graphic with the current routing of the unit, i.e. how inputs and outputs are linked to each other.
Use the buttons to the left of the output LED displays (SETUP, MUTE etc.) to enter the various menus. Most of them include several pages, which you can select with the PAGE buttons. The PARAM button selects individual parameters from one page, the data wheel edits them. Con rm new settings with OK, or cancel your selection with CANCEL. This operating structure is the same for all menus so it will not be repeated in each section of the manual.
The menu name is shown at the top-lef t of the display. Next to this, andseparated by an arrow, is the name of the current page (e.g. SETUP ➠ IN/OUT). Thepage number of the corresponding menu is shown on the right-hand side (e.g. 1/6 = page 1 of 6).
The bottom line also shows the menu name (e.g. SETUP). For buttons IN A-C and OUT 1-6 (below the input/output LED displays), the menus for the corresponding inputs/outputs are listed (IN A, OUT 3 etc.). In addition, the output display also indicates the name of the output (e.g. SUBWOOFER, RIGHT MID etc.).
4.2 SETUP menu
Use the SETUP menu to make basic adjustments necessary for the operation of your ULTRADRIVE. Press the SETUP button to display the  rst page of thismenu.
4.2.1 IN/OUT
Fig. 4.1: Setup ➠ In/Out
The parameter OUT CONFIGURATION selects the general operating mode; in MONO mode input A is the preset signal source for all outputs. In STEREO mode, three con gurations are available. Please use inputs A and B in these modes. Thedisplay shows the OUT channels (L = LOW, M = MID and H = HIGH).
The stereo 3-way con guration LMHLMH has input A routed to outputs 1, 2 and 3, and input B routed to outputs 4, 5 and 6. The stereo 3-way con guration LLMMHH routes input A to outputs 1, 3 and 5, and input B to outputs 2, 4 and 6. The 2-way con guration LHLHLH uses all three inputs; here, A can be routed to outputs 1 and 2, B to outputs 3 and 4, and C to outputs 5 and 6. This application is used for 3 x 2-way speaker systems or triple bi-amping (see chapter 6.3).
Fig. 4.2: Output con guration
Fig. 4.3: Setup ➠ In/Out
With the OUT STEREOLINK function you can determine whether processing with EQs, limiter, etc. is e ective on the linked outputs, or whether the settings for each output can be made independently. When this function is enabled (ON), linking several outputs to each other, the display will show small connecting lines between the individual outputs.
The following link options (output con gurations) are available:
1. MONO (no stereo links)
Fig. 4.4: Output con guration MONO
2. L(1) M(2) H(3) L(4) M(5) H(6)

Link: L(1) > L(3) > L(5) / H(2) > H(4) > H(6)
Fig. 4.8: Set up ➠ In/Out
When Out Stereo Link is enabled, the unit warns you that all settings for the linked outputs will be lost, because they will be overwritten with the values of the output to be selected.
Any further changes to the parameters of a speci c output will be transferred directly to the linked output. However, any edits made to a LONG DELAY value (see chapters 4.2.2 and 4.5.5) will not be transferred to the other output. Thisparameter can be adjusted speci cally for each output. SHORT DELAY settings (see chapters 4.2.2 and 4.5.5) will be transferred as long as OUT Stereo Link is on.
◊ ◊ In the MONO configuration, the Out Stereo Link function cannot
be activated.

Fig. 4.9: Setup ➠ In/Ou t
The inputs can also be linked using the parameter INSTEREO LINK. Thus, all settings of one input can be transferred to another input, or to all inputs.
Fig. 4.10: Setup ➠ In/Out
When this function is On, the display provides a warning note that shows both the new link to be activated and the name of the inputs that will be overwritten (black  eld). Use the data wheel to edit the link to be activated (black  eld). Thevalues of input A will be transferred to the following inputs.
Possible setting
Newlink OFF A + B A + B + C A + B + C + SUM
Overwritten settings (empty) B B+C B+C+SUM
Tab. 4.2: In Stereo Link
When you edit a setting of any input, while a link is activated, all edits are directly transferred to the linked inputs. In the case of the IN STEREO LINK function, this also includes the DELAY values (see chapter 4.3.2).
Use the parameter IN A + B SOURCE to select the type of input signals: ANALOGor AES/EBU (digital: via input A only).
4.2.2 DLY-CORR./AUTO-ALIGN
Fig. 4.11: Setup ➠ Dly-Corr./Auto-Align
As the speed of sound depends on the air temperature, the parameter DELAY CORRECTION on this SETUP page can be used to adjust the DCX2496(LE) to the ambient temperature, ensuring proper delay characteristics at all times. Theavailable value range is from -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) and will be taken into account only as long as DELAY CORRECTION is ON.
With the AUTO ALIGN function you can delay the output signal automatically by a certain amount, so as to eliminate phase cancellations caused by speaker alignment. For example, when the diaphragms of several speakers are not in the same phase it leads to cancellations due to arrival time di erences. Identicalsignals are radiated from di erent positions, so that wave crests coincide with wave troughs. If only one of these signals is delayed, thismisalignment can becompensated.
If the arival time di erences are smaller, a short signal delay will be enough to eliminate them (SHORT DELAY). However, if the speaker cabinets are placed several meters away from each other, not only can phase cancellations occur but so can audible run-time di erences. To remove these, you’ll have to use considerably higher delay values (LONG DELAY). The LONG DELAY calculation, however, works only with a minimum distance of four meters.
If, for example, a speaker is connected with incorrect polarity, AUTO ALIGN will detect and—if POLARITIES is on—correc t this error automatically.
Use the parameters SHORT DELAY, LONG DELAY and POLARITIES for the automatic correction of output signals. As soon as at least one parameter is set to YES, pressing OK will take you to another sub-menu. If not (all parameters set to NO), you will be warned that the process cannot be executed.
Fig. 4.12: Setup ➠ Dly-Corr./Auto-Align
In the AUTO-ALIGN sub-menu you can mute or open all outputs. Be sure that at least two outputs are open (UNMUTE OUTPUTS TO ALIGN), otherwise no delay values can be calculated, and a warning message will be displayed.
Fig. 4.13: Setup ➠ Dly-Corr./Auto-Align
If at least two or more outputs have been opened and OK has been pressed, the cursor will jump to ADJUST NOISE LEVEL and you can hear some test noise. Usethe data wheel to adjust the test noise. The level will be read at the outputs. Press OK to trigger the measuring process. The DCX2496(LE) calculates the run­time di erences, phase shift and polarity. The OUTs are automatically adjusted to the optimum delay values calculated. This process cannot be executed if the test noise level is too low.
Fig. 4.14: Setup ➠ Dly-Corr./Auto-Align
4.2.3 COPY
Use the COPY function to copy parameter settings to other pages. For example, you can transfer the EQ or gain settings from one channel to another, which saves you a lot of time.
Fig. 4.15: Setup ➠ Copy
The parameter COPY MODE determines whether only single pages (PAGE) or the complete channel settings (WHOLE CHANNEL) will be copied. Select PAGE mode with the PARAM button and then select the source channel SOURCE plus the SOURCE PAGE to be transferred to another channel. If you select just one page, the channel to be overwritten (DESTINATION PAGE) will appear automatically under the parameter DESTINATION. Please enter the channel to which the data should be copied to (DESTINATION CHANNEL).
Both the source and destination Channel can be selected using the data wheel or by pressing the corresponding channel button (IN A-C, OUT 1-6 and SUM).
Fig. 4.16: Setup ➠ Copy
Press OK or CANCEL to subsequently copy further pages in the same way.
◊ ◊ Only similar pages with identical parameters can be copied. If you
select a SOURCE PAGE that is not available in the DESTINATION CHANNEL, the display will read NOT AVAILABLE under DESTINATION PAGE.
Fig. 4.17: Setup ➠ Copy
If you set COPY MODE to WHOLE CHANNEL, you can copy the complete channel settings to another channel. Use SOURCE to select the channel to be copied (SOURCE-CHANNEL), then de ne the channel to be overwritten (DESTINATION). Theprocess is the same as in PAGE mode.
So-called “cross copying” (copying of di erent channels, for example output 1to input A), allows the copying of only those pages that can be transferred 1:1 to another channel. Any other pages will not be overwritten.
Previously locked pages (see chapter 4.2.4) cannot be overwritten. Acorresponding message is displayed.
Fig. 4.18: Setup ➠ Copy
4.2.4 PAGE LOCK
In this menu you can lock individual parameter pages, preventing them from being edited without  rst entering a password. This is useful for P.A. rental companies, for example, who want to make sure that certain “harmful” pages with necessary  xed settings cannot be accessed by the user.
Fig. 4.19: Setup ➠ Page Lock
In the PAGE LOCK menu you can either lock single pages or all pages. In this case, you need a password to edit the pages. The parameter PAGE LOCK is set to OFF by default. As long as it is not ON, you can skip this page and move on to the next.
Fig. 4.20: Set up ➠ Page Lock
To lock a parameter page you must activate the PAGE LOCK function (ON). Theunit will prompt you to enter a password. Use the data wheel to enter a password with a maximum of 8 characters, and con rm your selection with OK.
◊ ◊ CAUTION: Please make a note of your password. It is impossible to
unlock parameter pages without the correct password!
Fig. 4.21: Setup ➠ Page Lock
Now, the parameter SELECT PAGES is displayed, enabling you to select all the pages to be locked. Use the IN/OUT/SUM/SETUP buttons to call up a menu, thedata wheel to select the page of your choice and the OK button to activate the PAGE LOCK function.
The data wheel also allows you to scroll through a list of all pages, from which you can select the ones you wish to lock. This is the only way to call up
the ALL PAGES function that lets you lock all pages in one operation. Tounlock all pages at once, select ALL PAGES and press CANCEL. As before,
the selected pages must be con rmed and locked with OK. Locked pages are displayed with a closed lock symbol. If a page is unlocked, the lock symbol is open. Use the CANCEL button to unlock a previously locked page.

Additionally, this menu provides  ve user settings. Firstly,you can adapt the CONTRAST of the display to ambient conditions. Secondly,you can assign a DEVICE ID to your DCX2496, allowing you to daisy-chain several units via the rear panel RS-485 network interface (LINK A and B). The  rst unit is connected to a PC either via one of the LINK interfaces (RS-485) orvia the RS-232 interface.
Note - The DCX2496LE does not have RS-232 or RS-485 connectors.
The PORT parameter provides three di erent modes for the PC remote control:

Fig. 4.26: PC (RS -232) mode
Use this setting if you want to connect only one DCX2496 to your computer via the RS-232 interface. It is impossible to daisy-chain several units in this mode.
2. LINK (RS-485)
Fig. 4.27: Setu p ➠ Miscellaneous
Fig. 4.28: LINK (R S-485) mode
