dbx 1261m ZonePro Digital Processor Router

The dbx 1261m ZonePro Digital Processor Router offers fixed I/O, pre-configured architecture, configurable insert processing and optional duplication of audio channels to another ZonePRO device via a link bus.

The dbx 1261m ZonePro Digital Processor Router features a total of 12 inputs and six outputs. Inputs include six balanced mic/line switchable terminal block inputs, four mono-summed pairs of unbalanced RCA inputs and one S/PDIF input for up to two digital channels. Hardware-controlled microphone gain allows adjustment of microphone gain per channel.

The dbx 1261m ZonePro Digital Processor Router has a pre-configured architecture with input processing, a central matrix and output processing. Two input insert positions and one output insert position allow channel-specific insert processing to be configured. AutoWarmth®, a psychoacoustic function that maintains full frequency bandwidth even when the signal level has dropped, is permanently available on each output zone.

A link bus allows duplication of the first six audio channels to another ZonePRO device in applications where additional output zones are required.

The front panel of the dbx 1261m ZonePro Digital Processor Router features a power status LED, a network traffic LED, and an RS-232 control port.

Additional system control is offered in the form of optional Zone Controllers. This collection of hardware wall-controllers represents a series of simple, elegant user interfaces for functions such as volume, source and preset control.

The dbx 1261m ZonePro Digital Processor Router can be controlled by third party control systems via RS-232 or Ethernet as applicable.

dbx ZonePRO Designer—the configuration, control and monitoring software for the ZonePRO family of devices—offers control of the dbx 1261m ZonePro Digital Processor Router via Ethernet or RS-232. The Configuration Wizard within ZonePRO Designer guides users through the step-by-step configuration process of the dbx 1261m ZonePro Digital Processor Router.
