Hello,

as I'm using a non B&O subwoofer with my Beosound and Beolabs. I want to fine tune everything and want to integrate a Behringer DCX2496 speakermanagement system:
https://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Signal-Processors/Loudspeaker-Management-Processors/DCX2496/p/P0B6H

 

My idea is to split the powerlink output of the beosound:
- Audio output of the Beosound into the Behringer DCX 2496
- The control signals of the powerlink output of the Beosound will not be routed through the DCX2496, only the audio part.
- audio output of the Behringer 2496 will be split: The high cut signal will go to the subwoofer and the low cut signal will go to the beolabs.

I've bought cinch-xlr-cables BUT the signal level of the Beosound into the Behringer is extremely low. Do I need other cables or does anybody use a similar setup? I can not exclude a "user 40 error" ;-)

As the Beolab 1 where intended to be used with the Beolab 2: Can somebody tell me the crossover freqency of the Beolab 2?



Any help is appreciated. :-)

The DCX2496 is expecting a high-level professional input, while the BeoSound has a much lower output level.

 

Personally I would strongly suggest you look at a high quality crossover rather than the budget Behringer which has very noisy AD/DA converters and IMO rather poor sound quality.

DEQX make a great alternative, not cheap though!
