XS2 Core - DSP unit

The powerful 52/XS2 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/XS2 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/XS2 cores or to other DHD products
  • internal or external 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz sync

Other features of the 52/XS2 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
