DBX ZonePRO 1260 Digital Zone Processor

The DBX's ZonePRO 1260 is a signal processor that features 12 inputs and six outputs which the inputs included six balanced mic/line switchable terminal block inputs, four mono-summed pairs of unbalanced RCA inputs and one S/PDIF input for up to two digital channels. It offers fixed I/O, pre-configured architecture, configurable insert processing and optional duplication of audio channels to another ZonePRO device through a link bus. Microphone gain can be adjusted per channel using hardware-controlled microphone gain.

The architecture of the 1260 device is pre-configured, with input processing, a central matrix, and output processing. Channel-specific insert processing can be configured using two input insert positions and one output insert position. On each output zone, AutoWarmth®, a psychoacoustic function that maintains full frequency bandwidth even when the signal level drops, is permanently available.

In applications where additional output zones are required, a link bus allows the first six audio channels to be duplicated to another ZonePRO device.

The 1260's front panel involves comprehensive signal metering, an informative LCD display, and user-specified front panel control.

All ZonePRO devices can be controlled by third party control systems via RS-232 or Ethernet as applicable

ZonePRO Designer is the software that allow users to control, configure and monitor the ZonePRO 1260 via Ethernet or RS-232. There is a Configuration Wizard within software that will guides users with step-by-step during the configuration process of the 1260m.
