Behringer DCX2496 Ultradrive Pro

Audio to pro and pro to audio level matching. Any comments on this item?

BEHRINGER: MX882 It appears to have a master volume for the 6 outputs. Could be good between a DCX2496 and audio amps.

That will not work if you need a 6 channel volume control - as far as I can tell looking at the manual. What's your signal flow? How will you be using the DCX?

You might have a quick look at this article I wrote:

I've used 882s since they came out . Before that , I had used the Rane SM26 ? ( which the Behringer used as "inspiration" for their product ) .
IME, THE 882 is an eminently useful product .

Plugging into ( say channel #5 ) input , breaks the normal ( from the Main L,R input ) , & puts that signal through a portion of one dedicated 4880? chip ( which has a volume control on it ) and sends it back out to the #5 output ( after being buffered ) .

So, one can use the 882 as a 6-in / 6-out line-driver with individual level matching capacity ( as stated in the manual ).

Mind you, when setup like this one still does not get a single stereo ( ganged master ) knob that effects all these 6 output levels at the same time ( which I think is what Pano was pointing out before I opened up my yap ) .

Right Earl, that's exactly it. Too bad it does not have an overall master volume, it would be very handy if it did.

Too bad, indeed. Thanks guys.
