In this special-purpose application, the ULTRADRIVE PRO is not used as a frequency crossover but rather as a signal distributor, for dedicated EQing plus individual
delays and separate volume settings for each output. The monophonic mix signal is split up and sent to six equal outputs. It can be used for a variety of applications
requiring the transmission of music or speech over large distances or to several rooms or rooms consisting of several compartments. Examples are large discotheques,
multi-room clubs/pubs/bars, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, lobbies, trade show and conference halls, railway stations, churches/cathedrals and even at home
where you can use the DXC2496 to play back music in every room.

Fig. 6.8: Triple stereo delay line
In this application, the ULTRADRIVE PRO is not used as a crossover network. Instead, it produces stereo delay lines, i.e. stereo speaker cabinets delayed in time with
regard to each other. All pairs of cabinets are supplied with the same full-range stereo input signal A+B. Then, these pairs can be placed at regular distances away
from the stage, as is often the case at big open-air concerts. The farther away the original signal (usually the music played on stage) is, the more audible the delay
between speaker signal (close to the listener) and original signal (far away) becomes. The DCX2496 allows you to make up for the resulting echoes by adding specifi c
delay times to the speaker signals. This allows the audience to feel as if they were "part of it" even though they may be far away from the stage—and this without any
annoying echoes.
