Behringer Crossover

[JonathanP]

Has anyone had any experience with the DCX 24/96 for aid in designing crossovers (not running in the system )

Pros and Cons would be appreciated

These types of tool are fantastic for a part of the cross-over design but you still need to model impedance issues caused by a passive crossover. I preferred the Rane RPM 26z to the Behringer when I looked into them. You can download the Behringer and the Rane software and play with them without buying the product, and that may help you decide.

 

I also have the DEQX, but its extra features are unnecessary compared with the Rane, and I just love how, with the Rane, I can sit in the listening position with a wifi connected laptop and with just a few clicks change anything about the crossover. The DCX 24/96 has an extensive feature set too but it is balanced out by not being the best sounding unit of this type and having a less friendly interface. The sound takes on a slight layer of grain with the Behringer.

 

The Behringer is, however, nice and cheap - and you can hire one to give it a decent trial before buying. I know a few high end loudspeaker manufacturers who swear by the Behringer. I just love the Rane software interface and so am probably very biased.

Emerald Physics use the DCX 24/96. Loads of mods available as well.

Thanks for that Antipodes I looked at Rane a while ago seemed a better product but a little less flexible, I was looking at a different model

Does it model ancillary circuits ie notch filters , impedance compensation ect

does it do 1st order crossovers

The price of the Behringer is appealing especially since it won't be in the circuit after development

Have you tried here?

 

Heaps of info, REW, DEQX etc. but looking at your original q, as for designing, there may be some info there.:confused:

Thanks for that

interesting site, seems mainly focused on EQing systems rather than design
