======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

* 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.
