Market-driven EAW DX1208 is flexible and expandable, with intuitive

Whitinsville, MA, USA, June 11, 2009 –
EAW, a world leader in sound system solutions, introduces the DX1208
DSP Matrix Mixer. The direct result of end-user feedback, the market-driven,
easy-to-use DX1208 represents the next generation of Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) from EAW, maintaining EAW’s highest standards
while providing end users with an intuitive, high-performance, yet cost
effective solution. Its expandability options, combined with its deep
feature set, make this mixer ideal for a wide range of commercial and
install applications.
The DX1208 is a 12-input, 8-output 1U-rackspace DSP matrix
mixer. Eight inputs are mic/line capable, with selectable 48-volt phantom
power provided when the user selects mic level. Four additional inputs
on unbalanced RCA connectors allow the users to “stack”
inputs, increasing the number of audio sources that can be connected.
An additional four digital inputs are available on S/PDIF with sample
rate conversion to 48 kHz. All 12 inputs are included in the audio matrix
and can be assigned DSP functions prior to distributing signal at line
level.
The DX1208 can also receive up to six logic inputs and
send up to three logic outputs, combined on a single 18-pin connector
and programmable via the included EAW DX Navigator software. The DX1208
has serial RS-232 remote capabilities via a DB9 connector on the rear
panel, for control by AMX®/Crestron® and other third party integrated
control systems. Two RJ-45 connections are provided as well, for linking
multiple (up to eight) DX Link-enabled products together in a ring network
topology.
A remote control port (RJ-25 connector) is included on
the rear panel, facilitating the linking of two different types of remotes,
all mounted on wall panels. Up to 10 remotes can be attached to the
DX1208, and each is individually addressable.
The DX1208 is supplied with EAW DX Navigator software
that allows access to all of the system’s settings and configurations.
The expected range of user-adjustable processing such as EQ filters,
gates, compressors/limiters, priority assignment, delay, gain and crossovers
are included. In addition, up to 24 programmable presets are available
per DX1208; the programming interface is flexible, with connection via
the USB port on the front panel or the Ethernet jack or DB9 connector
on the rear panel. The DX1208 employs a universal power supply, 100-240
VAC, 50/60 Hz.
DX1208 Features:
- 32-bit DSP and 24-bit analog-digital conversion
- Eight balanced mic/line inputs and four unbalanced line inputs
- Four digital input channels via S/PDIF
- Six programmable logic inputs, three programmable logic outputs
- 16-channel DX Link expansion bus
