About the XTA DP226 Speaker Management System
The XTA DP226 Speaker Management System is a powerful DSP-based processor built for live sound, housing a 2-input, 6-output architecture configurable across five crossover modes: 3x2-way, 2x3-way, 4-way, 5-way and 6-way. Each input offers gain control, variable delay and eight bands of fully parametric EQ, while each output adds high and low-pass filters, five EQ bands, polarity switching and a full limiter. A total of 46 parametric EQ bands deliver +15 to -30dB of gain across 20Hz to 20kHz. A 40-bit internal data path delivers a dynamic range exceeding 110dB. Remote control options include MIDI, RS232 and RS485, with optional AES/EBU digital I/O available. Multiple user memories, multipart security lock-out and compatibility with XTA's Windows-based Audiocore software complete the feature set.
XTA DP226 Speaker Management System — buyer FAQs
What is the XTA DP226 Speaker Management System and what does it do?
The XTA DP226 is a DSP-based audio processor in a 1U rack unit, designed to replace multiple conventional signal-processing products in live sound rigs. It combines crossover routing, parametric equalisation, variable delay, limiting and polarity switching across a 2-input, 6-output architecture. Its 40-bit internal data path delivers a dynamic range exceeding 110dB, and it supports five configurable crossover modes to suit a wide range of loudspeaker systems.
Who makes the DP226 and where does it sit in their product range?
The DP226 is made by XTA Electronics, a British manufacturer specialising in digital audio signal processing and loudspeaker management systems for touring and installed sound. The DP226 sits within XTA's speaker management line and is designed to work alongside the company's Windows-based Audiocore software ecosystem, allowing it to integrate with other compatible XTA products for centralised remote control.
How many crossover configurations does the XTA DP226 support, and how is the EQ divided across inputs and outputs?
The DP226 supports five crossover modes: 3x2-way, 2x3-way, 4-way, 5-way and 6-way, covering most loudspeaker system layouts from a single unit. Across its two inputs and six outputs there are 46 parametric EQ bands in total. Each input carries eight bands and each output carries five, with each band providing between +15 and -30dB of gain at any centre frequency from 20Hz to 20kHz and Q settings from 0.4 to 128.
What remote control options are available on the DP226?
The DP226 provides MIDI, RS232 and RS485 ports for remote control, and it can be operated via XTA's proprietary Windows-based software. An optional AES/EBU digital input and output is also available. Multiple user memories allow settings to be stored and recalled, and a multipart security lock-out protects all controls from accidental or unauthorised adjustment during live use.
What should I check when buying a used XTA DP226?
On a used DP226 it is worth confirming the crossover mode configuration suits your system, verifying that all six outputs and both inputs are fully functional, and checking whether optional AES/EBU digital I/O is fitted if that is relevant to your setup. Confirm the unit powers on and that user memories load correctly.
