XS Core - DSP unit

The powerful 52/XS Core is an independent DSP system which does not require a PC for operation. There are no fans, hard discs or batteries inside the 52/XS Core and in the I/O boxes, allowing silent and low-maintenance operation directly in the studio.

High-performance 40-bit floating-point digital signal processing for:

• 3-band fully parametric equalizers, subsonic filter, dynamics, limiter, delay for all 16 fader channels, mono or stereo
• 32 summing busses (mono), Aux busses, clean feeds and PFL
• 6 clean feeds (mix-minus, mono or stereo)
• 4 monitoring busses for control room and studio support
• flexible talkback, logic and GPIO system
• integrated routing matrix
• internal tone generator
• Gigabit audio network for 512 input and 512 output channels for low-latency interconnection between 52/XS cores or to other DHD products
• internal or external 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz sync

Other features of the XS Core:

• highly efficient external wide-range power supply, Energy Star Level V, redundancy option
• minimal system power consumption
• expandable modular system allows optional integration of other DHD product lines
• serial or TCP/IP interface options to radio automation or other external control systems

In the following table the main differences between the 52-1801 and the 52-1804 are listed.

Feature	52-1801	52-1804
support for redundant power supply	yes	yes
number of supported faders	12/16*	8
number of supported I/O boxes	2/3**	1
number of audio, power & control ports (APC)	8	4
serial interface for external control	yes	yes
TCP/IP interface for external control	yes	yes

* 16 fader (4 fader modules) are only possible if a maximum of two I/O boxes are used on the 52-1801.

** Three I/O boxes are only possible if a maximum of 12 fader (3 fader modules) are used on the 52-1801.
