Ground Sound DCN 23

Digital Crossover Network/Filter DCN 23                         EUR 241,00

DCN23 is a high performance digital crossover filter with equalization and delay. It features 2 balanced analogue inputs and 3 single-ended analogue outputs (of which the third has an inverted output for easy bridging at e.g. low frequencies). The usage of high performance Burr-Brown converters gives DCN23 crystal clear sound and very low noise floor. The sample rate is 96 kHz to extend bandwidth and have low order analogue low pass output filtering. The resolution of converters is 24 bit and the internal signal processor resolution is 76 bit. The signal processor holds 3 channels of 16 biquads each for filtering and equalization. DCN23 has an optical isolated RS232 interface to avoid hum and noise from the PC.

The circuit board is a high quality 4 layer type which prevents noise and hum. The layout features a lot of decoupling - at supply entry and very close to all active components.

DCN23 is the heart of an active speaker management system offering a superb sound, easy installation and ease of use in daily life.

The XOver Wizard program is a graphical tool to manipulate with inputs, outputs, gain, crossover frequencies, crossover slopes, equalization and delay. The XOverWizard has a very significant feature: The ability to import a text file containing measured driver data of frequency, sound pressure level and phase. With these data the XOverWizard are able to display frequency response and more, while design are in progress. Compared to this method the “old” trial and error method seems obsolete. The loading of parameters to filter are updated within about 1.5 seconds.

On LED
Weight: app. 350g
Overall dimensions psu: 75mm x 115mm x 32mm
PSU DCN incl. Relay board PSU DCN is a power supply unit intended to supply 1 DCN23. PSU DCN features a mains filter to suppress noise generated on the main line 230Vac to avoid unwanted noise output of the DCN23. Another feature is the relay board.

If the DCN23 are used as a standalone filter, the relay board should be placed between DCN23 and the amplifiers to avoid power on and power off generated noise. The relay board has delay unmute and rapid mute function. The output of the relay board is "pseudo-balanced" to enhance noise suppression on long cables.

Notice that a normal 2- or 3-way stereo setup demands 2 DCN23 and 2 PSU DCN, one of each per channel. Our philosophy is to place crossover and amplifiers as close as possible to the loudspeaker to avoid long loudspeaker cables. This is possible due to the mono design of DCN23 and PSU DCN.
