Behringer DCX2496 digital x-over any good

[boputnam]

I’ve doing some thinking about the loudspeaker management system, can this unit operate in three ways, that is the dynamics on the soundtrack from the softest sound to medium and loudest with different threshold settings ....

You are describing the function of a compressor.

[JBL 4645]

Yes I guess so.

You are describing the function of a compressor.

If that is your wish, the DCX2496 is not "specialized" in that function. It does have a Limiter function, which is more of a "hard-knee" algorithm, which will not provide the more subtle gain support you describe.

If you are truly after a subtle, warm, soft-knee support of gain, I can only suggest the Drawmer 1968. This dood will blow you away.

The Drawmer 1968 is so subtle you question whether it's active in the signal path. Yet, switch to "bypass" and you'll know how wonderfully effective and transparent this tube compressor is. The 12AX7's on the output stage are genius.

I am a serious fan of this unit. Show after show, it blows me away in it's effectiveness and ease of use.

Ahhh.....Drawmer.
I have the 1960 in my main insert rack and Like Bo says you know it's working but you can't really here it....if that makes sense.
I also have their DL241, DL441 and DS404 units. If you want to save a little money and still get an excellent compressor take a look at the DL241. Not saying it sounds as transparent as a 1960 or 1968 but still very nice!

Yea, Mike...

My 1968's live across the Mix inserts in both my racks - it is such a great sound, and tool. I too use DL241's in individual instrument inserts or across the instrument Group buss - they are wonderful in those applications. I would love to have nothing but 1968's, but the 241's are plenty fine. Drawmer makes some really, really great gear.
