XC2

Discontinued

The Standard Core

Suitable for every studio

The XC2 Core can manage any task in your broadcast studio. This includes small DJ-operated studios with 12 faders or even larger control desks in a complex studio environment with up to 44 faders.

Different device types with different feature sets allow a system that is perfectly fitted to your application and budget.

16 Faders (Stereo)

52-7423

  • 16 summing busses (PGM, AUX, N-1, PFL)
  • 6 mix-minus busses
  • 1 virtual mixers

Standard Console

24 Faders (Stereo)

52-7420

  • 32 summing busses (PGM, AUX, N-1, PFL)
  • 16 mix-minus busses
  • 4 virtual mixers
  • Medium-sized console

44 Faders (Stereo)

52-7420 + DSP Card 52-7460

  • 40 summing busses (PGM, AUX, N-1, PFL)
  • 24 mix-minus busses
  • 4 virtual mixers
  • Control-room console

Toolbox – system configuration software

The flexibility of the XC2 Cores is mainly based on the Toolbox configuration software. All your ideas and requirements for certain functions will be defined during a configuration process typically done by DHD or by your system integrator. This configuration is what will make your system work. However, if you need to change it later, just use the Toolbox software again.

AoIP in the core

Each XC2 core has an extension slot which can be equipped with the AoIP module of your choice. More AoIP modules can be added to Concnentrators, allowing to use Dante and Ravenna within the same Mixer.

AES67 / RAVENNA

For a maximum of interconnectivity with other AoIP equipment, each DHD Series 52 Core can be equipped with a XC2 AES67 RAVENNA Interface (52-7067A).

Dante™ for all Signals

With an optional 52-7080 Dante™ IPx module inside your DSP core, you can use up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs of Dante™ network and two Gigabit Ethernet ports for glitch-free redundancy.

Future-proof by optional feature upgrades

By adding software licences, you can for example increase the number of logic functions, peak meters or add channel delay. By adding an additional DSP card, you can get more processing power for fader processings or additional loudness meters.

Control options

DHD provides special PC software routing, scheduling and monitoring. Also platform independent, browser-based Web Apps, such as Views app or Snapshot app can be used.

Third-party systems, too, can interface with DHD products via Ethernet by using Ember+ or the open DHD External Control Protocol. Or just use GPIOs or a serial connection.

Easy cabling

The XC2 and 5XD2 Cores and the XC2 Concentrator provide common RJ45 ports for the connection of control modules and I/O boxes. Here, standard CAT cables are used, carrying Audio, Power and Control signals in the same cable – DHD’s APC technology.

Thus, your setup benefits from the advantages of common CAT cabling infrastructure which allows you to place I/O boxes and control modules anywhere you need them.

High performance – Low power consumption

Its small size of only 1 rack unit and low power consumption of only 15 W makes it perfect also for use in OB vans and SNGs – and keeping your power bill low in the long run.
