XTA DP428

PRODUCT FEATURES

The DP428 is XTA’s most advanced speaker management system. With 4x8
matrix flexibility and 48dB crossover slopes, sophisticated tools are close at hand.
An array of filters types are available including parametric, shelving, bandpass,
notch, and elliptical. Phase on all inputs and outputs is adjustable in 2 degree
steps. AES/EBU inputs and outputs are built-in and easily selectable. Two stages of
limiting insure safety further down the audio chain. 96kHz/24-bit internal processing
is on board for pristine audio quality. The DP428 puts XTA’s transparent algorithms
to work in a compact 1U package that remains easy to use.
