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
