I just took possesion of a pair of VMPS RM40's with FST, Auricaps, wired for triamp connection, but no CDWG. I have a Behringer DCX-2496 and cables.How much is it to just modify and program the DCX-2496 if I send mine in to be used with the RM40's?
I seem to remember that the efficiency of the neos and the tweeter on the RM-V60, when hooked to a single amp, is about 94db. Are the values the same or different when hooked up to separate amps with the D-OXO? Paul
Is D-OXO simply plug and play for folks with the standard OXO -Is it a DCX2496 unit with Internal mods?Can you still use the other dcx2496 features like the parametric equaliser?Does it require dual amps? Doesn't the dcx2496 go before the Amps?We need details !!!Tom
Hi John,I have heard a number of digital crossovers. While they sound fine on digital sources, on analog sources the d-xo adds a noticeable sonic signature to the sound due to the A to D and D to A conversions. I have not heard the DCX2496. Does it also add a digital signature to analog sources?I know d-xo's are the wave of the future and that 10 years from now most loudspeakers will utilize them. However, if I wanted my analog source material to sound like CDs, I would have bought the CDs. Hopefully, Big B won't abandon us troglodytes that still listen to analog sources.
Sounds good !!!Any thoughts on : 1. tubes on the top and more watts on the bottom or identical amps all around - this may entail different curves 2. Sub integration - one could use the same DCX for say RM30s and a pair of subs - this may be difficult because not everyone has the same subs 3. multi channel use ie 3 channel or a 5.1 system - this may involve a couple of DCXs 4. custom curves - there is software that can do pretty good room analysis and even though I understand B wanting to keep the curve he provides confidential it seems that there might be room for individual tweaking. just a few thoughts Tom
Thanks JohnI applaud VMPS for doing this because I think it is the way to go. I am curious to hear about comparisons when the D-OXO gets out there. I spent a long time with the DCX2946 a year or so ago and ended up frying my speakers when I messed up the balanced to unbalanced conversion so I am glad that you folks have taken care of the cables to handle that. The DCX2496 is a fantastic device with a lot of capabilities and there is a lot of information out there about them. You can even hook in your computer and fiddle around with them. However, As Brian pointed out the passive crossovers are great and I have my speakers pretty well dialed in now so I am not sure it is worth it especially when you factor in the cost of new amps, But then again a new amp may be on the horizon so who knows.
