Our proprietary sound-processing technology utilizing a linear-phase FIR filter delivers excellent sound quality at high resolution with a smooth frequency response that is unaffected by phase interference near the crossover point. ■ D-CONTOUR (Dynamic CONTOUR) (DXR series) D-CONTOUR is a multiband compressor that dynamically controls the level of each frequency range according to the application and human hearing characteristics. It features a FOH/MAIN mode for using your DXR as a main speaker, and a MONITOR mode that has been optimized for use as a floor monitor. Select the mode that suits your application. ■ D-XSUB (DXS series) D-XSUB is a newly-developed processing technology exclusively for subwoofers that dynamically controls the low frequency range. It features a BOOST mode that enhances and provides punch to the sound, and an XTENDED LF mode that extends the bottom of the low frequency range. You can select either mode in accordance with various applications and musical genres. The DXR series features mixing functionality, enabling you to mix sounds by directly inputting three channel signals into the unit. In addition, the LINK function enables you to easily configure a stereo or dual-mono SR (Sound Reinforcement) system using two DXRs. ■ DSP-controlled advanced protection system Powerful protection circuits ensure secure protection in the speaker unit, amplifier unit, and power supply unit. This protection functionality promotes optimal performance of each component and optimum reliability without distortion even in challenging environments.
