For the best performance, use an HK AUDIO
DSM 2060 Digital Controller. The DSM 2060 is
factory-equipped with special filters for all
ConTour Series™ speakers for use in both FOH
and (bi-amped) monitor applications.
It features two inputs and six outputs that may be
configured individually for FOH and monitoring
applications to serve touring and fixed installation
purposes. Up to six parametric EQs and two
additional shelving filters may be applied to every
input/output for the purpose of fine-tuning the
system to suit the given requirements. The
innovative HFT™ Hardman Filter Technology
satisfies high-end audio-demands and raises the
performance bar for this class of controller. The
HK AUDIO
® DSM 2060 Digital Speaker Manage-
ment device is equipped with high-end 24-bit,
96-kHz converters that ensure pure, unadultera-
ted digital signal processing and frequency
response ranging up to 40 kHz. It offers input
delays ranging up to 400 ms and output delays
ranging up to 80 ms for configuring delay zones
and aligning the times of speaker components in
systems comprising multiple amped signals.
Various limiters can be assigned to each output
and adjusted in fine 0.2 dB increments to protect
speakers and drivers.
This controller’s flagship feature is an extensive
selection of Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley
and other crossovers with slopes varying from 6
to 24 dB. The HK AUDIO
® DSM 2060’s fourth-
order and eighth-order Hardman filter is a unique
feature serving to configure 36 dB and 52 dB
slopes for crossovers.
In contrast to conventional filters with steep
slopes, the Hardman filter minimizes phase
shifting and group delay even at maximum slopes
to preserve the signal’s natural sound. This
results in exceptionally precise frequency cross-
over and faster roll-off rates, thereby minimizing
distortion, enabling lower crossover frequencies,
and affording drivers greater protection. And all
this makes the most of the connected system's
headroom and enhances operating reliability.
More information on the functions and technical
specifications is available in the DSM 2060’s
manual.
