Review for Behringer DCX2496 Ultra-Drive Pro Digital Crossover System

Feature:
No Accessories

Quality:
I found two problems so far. The linear regulator ICs run quite hot, I added a couple of heat spreaders to lower the case temperature of the regulators. The second problem is that the RS232 port is not wired according to the RS232 specifications. The unit does not use the connector pin ground for signal return but rather the connector shell This I have not fixed yet.

Value:
Yes it is worth it's price, It would have cost me a lot more to design it myself if I ever could.

Desirability:
Technically this is a marvel, but not designed for the less technically skilled person. It is hard to follow the manual, and the operation is not intuitive.

Sound:
Hi I have not listened to the DXC2496 yet, but I have measured its performance. The unit performs miraculously. according to my measurements. The unit will be used to TriAmp my K2 Klipschorns. That is going to be long project. Probably months.

Ease of Use:
A little hard to use, you have to be technically oriented, which I am.

Support:
Got firmware upgrade from Behringer Website. It is difficult to find this unit on the website. The connection through ZZound, however did work.

Overall:
When I get it all to work like it should it will be used untouched for many years, bu this is a research project.
