Previously only available in EV’s N8000 system controllers and RCM-26 module-equipped Tour Grade series amplifiers, the FIR-Drive system uses Finite Impulse Response filters and processing to provide linear phase performance for intelligibility and pattern control.

Now, the Dx46 FIR-Drive Sound System Processor offers FIR-Drive performance in a more compact form, and at a price point that makes it applicable to a wide range of portable and installed audio applications.

It offers six channels of 512-tap, complex-phase FIR filters in addition to EV’s PA Limiter and TEMP Limiter algorithms. A USB interface offers convenient local connection while an Ethernet interface, with an integrated switch for more advanced connectivity. Five GPI ports provide input for contact closures or other hardware interfaces.

The Iris-Net software control platform allows integration of an EV sound system, including amplifiers and additional external controls. Dx46 adds input processing, with graphic EQ, PEQ and delay, and a FIR-Drive-optimised output stage, including crossover, EQ and dynamics. It also provides specialised Array EQ and Array Delay blocks on each output.
