New Apogee Digital Loudspeaker Controller Now ShippingThe new digital loudspeaker controller, model DLX24, from Apogee Sound International LLC, is now shipping. The two-input by four-output DSP-based controller offers what the company says is "the most advanced pro audio loudspeaker configuration and management technology available," with an intuitive graphical user interface that allows users to manage key configuration settings to ensure optimal loudspeaker performance in a variety of live sound and fixed installations. The DLX24 uses system control manager software to custom configure the DLX24 for use with any combination of Apogee speaker presets or as a generic loudspeaker manager. The software provides remote volume control and configuration of the speaker system through a PC USB interface and gives users access to the following discrete settings (per input channel): level, eight bands of parametric equalization, up to 1,000ms of delay, various crossover filters, peak comp/limiters, and the ability to create LINK groups. Output channels offer the same capabilities as inputs, but also include a RMS comp/limiter. Output channels can be auto-configured with specific Apogee speaker presets or manually configured for non-Apogee products. The DLX24 is intended to be the last device in the signal chain before the power amplifier(s). Although it is usually fed signal from a mixing console, the source may be any one of a number of devices such as a CD player, MP3 player, or equalizer.
