DBX ZonePro 1261 12x6 Digital Zone Processor

With 12 inputs and 6 outputs the dbx ZonePRO® 1261 provides flexible signal routing, powerful DSP processing and multiple control interfaces for commercial audio applications.

Designed to offer superior sonic performance and flexibility, the 1261 delivers the highest quality tools available. Even the input and outputs connectors were chosen for their standard usage and reliability. The ZonePRO products offer two Euroblock connectors for balanced microphone or line signals (switchable), plus eight stereo RCA connectors and one 2-channel S/PDIF connector for interfacing with consumer equipment; there is also a simple analog input bus that allows inputs to be sent from one ZonePRO unit to the next for unit and job scalability.

The 1261 provides every necessary processing tool, from the input processing like gain control and EQ available on all inputs to dbx's trademark, sophisticated and specific functions such as selectable paging microphone processing including Gating, De-Essing, Auto Gain Control, Compression, and Feedback Suppression. The heart of the ZonePRO products is the Routing module that allow for not only Primary Source Selection but also Source Ducking for Paging and Priority Override.

The outputs also offer a breadth of processing options that are perfect for commercial applications. For example, dbx’s patent-pending AutoWarmth® function that was co-developed with JBL was included to provide natural low frequency extension at any signal level. Each output also offers EQ, Bandpass and Crossover filters, Limiting and Delay for system optimization.

The 1261 can be controlled by ZonePRO Designer software via RS-232 and Ethernet, as well as wall panel control. With the ZonePRO® every tool is at your disposal to maximize the response of your system. Get yours today.
