<- sx2:start|SX2 Configuration Manual ^ sx2:start|SX2 Configuration ^ sx2:central_module|Central Module -> ======XC2 & XS2 Core - DSP unit====== The powerful 52/XS2 & 52/XC2 Cores are independent DSP systems which do not require a PC for operation. There are no hard discs or batteries inside the XS2 and XC2 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 * 16 summing busses (stereo), 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 52/XS2 and 52/XC2 Cores: * 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 **Tip**\\ For more information on the Core Types, see [[https://dhd.audio/products/cores/|DSP Cores]]. ===== Recent 52/XS2 and 52/XC2 Cores ===== The XS2 & XC2 cores are the results of constant research and development of our products. In the following table, the main differences between the 52-1830 and the 52-7424 are listed.
