DLM26 | 2-In / 6-Out DSP Loudspeaker Management System
The DLM26 is a professional-grade digital loudspeaker management processor designed for demanding live sound and fixed install applications. With 2 inputs and 6 outputs, it delivers high-resolution signal processing via premium AKM 24-bit converters and double-precision DSP, all housed in a compact 1U chassis.
Engineered for flexibility, the DLM26 supports multiple routing modes—including full-range 6-way, 2×3-way, and 2×2-way + sub configurations—as well as an exclusive DCL (Double Compressor Limiter) mode for enhanced driver protection in passive two-way systems. Remote control and configuration are available via USB or RS485, with full access to all parameters and real-time metering.
