Dx38

This example shows the Magnified
Frequency Response window for a
system that includes an EV Xi1183/64
plus an EV Xi2181 4-way. Any para­meter changes, such as level, filter
or delay tweaks, display immediate­ly. Even very complex array settings
can be tuned simply and accurately.

RACE software is EV’s professional audio solution for modeling the response of loudspeaker
systems both simple and complex within specific venue measurements, and for digitally control­ling such systems through the Dx38. RACE enables engineers to seamlessly integrate room
influence, speaker positioning, and parameter settings, and RACE system presets guarantee a
solid, accurate basis from which to begin system tuning.

EV obtains specific acoustic data for all of its speakers by measuring each speaker separately in
its large anechoic chamber and saving the information in a RACE-specific file. The user assigns
individual components to RACE outputs using these files, and applies desired filter, delay, and
level settings. RACE then calculates the complex summation of all settings applied to the com­ponents. At a glance, then, RACE users can view not only each component’s (and the system’s)
electrical filter response, but also its true acoustic response! Any changes in parameters are
immediately visible and audible. As well, RACE can display SPL dispersion for lower frequencies.

System presets can be prepared offline in advance. The user can employ one of the 50 pre­installed presets, or customize one from individual component files. Systems prepared in this
way need only a little tweaking once speakers are in place. RACE makes quick setups a snap!

Documentation

Full documentation of up to seven pages can be
printed. Printed information includes listings of all
parameters, as well as all filter and frequency
responses for the EV speakers used in the system.

Configuration window

The clearly organized Configuration window allows the user to
name each output for its connected speaker. Space is provid­ed for adding notes, and additional windows allow access to
filter and delay settings.

Dx38 Digital Sound System Controller

with exclusive RACE software!

EV's Dx38 digital sound system processor sets new

standards for digital sound processing, with a dynamic

range in excess of 115 dB, multiple filter functions,

and exclusive RACE (Realtime Acoustic Cluster Editor)

software.

Versatile Applications

With its 2-in/4-out architecture, the Dx38 is the

perfect system controller for multi-way loudspeaker

arrays. It also works perfectly for signal distribution

in larger sound systems with delay lines, since it

allows the sum of inputs A&B to act as a virtual

third input. And one central PC can control as

many as 31 units (up to 3,930 feet away) through

RS-232, MIDI, or (optional) RS-485 interfaces.

The Dx38’s optional contact closure interface
allows remote switching of presets or muting.

The Dx38 comes with 50 factory presets for EV
speaker systems and can store another 30 user
presets. The Dx38 is always shipped with the

latest version of RACE software, but it’s easy
to upgrade or try RACE out — RACE is available
as a free download at www.electrovoice.com.

Easy Operation without a PC

No computer available? The Dx38 can be easily

used without one. A clearly arranged graphic

display helps in editing all parameters. Four LEDs

monitor the status of each
output (Sub, Low, Mid, Hi,
or any combination) for
quick output assignment.

The output level control pots are push pots that

send dedicated output information directly to the

display for editing. And the Dx38 can be locked to

prevent unauthorized changes.
