Overview:

The RCF  DX 2006 is a 2 input - 6 output loudspeaker management device with 40 bit floating point DSP and 96 kHz sampling rate, suitable for the optimization of passive loudspeaker systems.

Features:

Applications:

Front Panel Features:

1.) USB port (type B) for PC link. The driver (from the provided software CD) must be installed

2.) RS232 port (standard DE-9 socket). A 'straight cable' is required for PC connection

3.) Input Level LEDs that indicate the current signal level of each input : SIGNAL (signal presence) , -12 dB,-6 dB, -3 dB, OVER/LIMIT (that refers to the device maximum headroom)

4.) GAIN/MENU - LEDs that indicate the activated inputs for data modification

5.) MUTE BUTTONS with LEDs - Each button mute or unmute its respective input. When an input is muted, its LED indicates red

6.) LCD - Display that shows all necessary information to control the unit

7.) Output Level LEDs that indicate the current signal level of each output : SIGNAL (signal presence) , -12 dB,-6 dB, -3 dB, OVER/LIMIT (that refers to the limiter threshold)

8.) GAIN/MENU - LEDs that indicate the activated outputs for data modification

9.) MUTE BUTTONS with LEDs - Each button mute or unmute its respective output. When an output is muted, its LED indicates red

10.) Keyboard made of 6 Keys:

  • <<MENU : while editing , press to select the previous menu
  • MENU >> : while editing, press to select the next menu
  • << CURSOR: while editing, press to select the previous parameter
  • CURSOR >> : while editing, press to select the next parameter
  • ENTER : press to access the system menus;while editing ,press to confirm
  • EXIT : press to quit and return to the menu "home page"
11.) << DATA>> : rotary thumb wheel that allows to change parameter data values. This wheel has travel velocity sensing which eases large incremental data modifications. When adjusting the delay time, pressing and holding the ENTER key permits to increase/decrease the data value by 1 second steps.
Important : If a MENU key is pressed and held , MUTE buttons (5,9) can be used to select which inputs/outputs are affected by parameter value changes
When inputs/outputs are editable , their GAIN/MENU LEDs (4,8) indicates green. It is possible to link either the two inputs or more outputs for common parameter modification.
 It is not possible to edit  both inputs and outputs at the same time, therefore first it is necessary to remove all inputs from the edit mode before adding outputs (or vice-versa)

Rear Panel Features:

12.) INPUTS - Audio (analogue) balanced inputs (3-pin female XLR connectors)

13.) OUTPUTS - Audio (analogue) balanced outputs (3-pin male XLR connectors)

14.) Power connector (standard IEC socket). A compatible power cord is supplied with the unit. The operating voltage is 90÷240V ac(50-60 Hz)

15.) Fuse Type: T2.5A-250V

16.) POWER - power  switch (1 : ON; 0=OFF).
