[. . . ] Even very complex array settings can be tuned simply and accurately. Step Up to EV 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. [. . . ] RACE, an industry first, is therefore unique in that it can show the true frequency response of EV components in realtime as they behave in a free field. With all system data and parameters entered, the user can understand how the system will perform independently of any room influence. Step Up to EV Dx38 -- THE NEW STANDARD IN DIGITAL SOUND PROCESSING 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. Signal Flow Window RACE's signal flow window provides a clear overview of all available parameters. Five master equalizers are available per input immediately after input metering. Each of these filters can be set as a hi- or lo-pass filter (6 dB/12 dB peak), as a hi- or lo-shelf filter (6/12 dB), or as a full parametric equalizer. The master delay allows each input or the sum of both inputs to be delayed separately up to 900ms. Fully flexible routing allows each input or the sum of both inputs to be routed to any of the four outputs. Each of the four filters per output provide the same filter functions as the master equalizers, as well as an all-pass filter for phase corrections. The crossover section provides a hi- or lo-pass filter for each channel and an output delay for alignment. The dynamics section provides independent compressors and limiters to ensure speaker protection. The Dx38's parameters can all easily be edited on the front control panel. Once you try RACE software, however, you may never again want to work without it!

Access to complex networks is provided either by exchanging the factory-installed RS-232 interface with an optional RS-485 interface, or by connecting a DCN-485 converter (RS232 to RS-485) to the PC's COM port. With conventional microphone cables, units can be controlled over distances up to 655 feet. Realtime monitoring of all parameters -- including frequency response, input and output metering, and compressor/limiter thresholds -- provides a complete, up-to-the-second visual overview of the system. DCN 485 Converter RS-485 Interface Network control is so easy and intuitive. . .
