I just noticed that this Emerald Physics company which makes speakers
utilizes the behringer in its design(CS3... retail 3000 bucks).
I found this in an electronic design mag from july 10, 2008 so I guess it's old news but what I find interesting is that commercial products are using them as part of the package, something which us speaker hacks stumbled on quickly...interesting
CS3
I should've noted they're using the dcx2496 on the CS2 as well...
How else are you gonna get "+/- 0.50 dB from 100Hz-20kHz" from an OB dipole?Originally Posted by Steve Mac
I guess if you include auto EQ in the package it's OK to publish EQ'd response, but kinda pointless at the same time. What decent speaker couldn't do +/- 0.5 under the same conditions?

IIRC, from related reading... I think Klipsch's Jubilee falls into a similar arrangement.
Either is it sold xoverless, or with (EV Dx38 or Crown Xti ?).
The arrangement may depend on who the purchaser is (home v pro).
Point is, I do not think an OEM passive is offered for it.
I have heard the old version of the CS2 with Shindo F2a and NuForce amps (they need to be bi-amped), and they sounded pretty damned good - in a big room with lots of people. They use two Eminence 15-inch woofers and a 1-inch compression driver in a 12-inch wave guide.
In fact, hearing them started me looking at OB speakers and their various incarnations, which in a roundabout way got me looking at 604s. Since I couldn't find much Altec (or JBL or EV) gear here in NZ, I ended up going the GPA 604 route.
