Description of the device 

 

Features 

The DCP-26 is a 2-in, 6-out digital crossover 
• 48 KHz, 64Bits Sample rate 
• 10 parametric filters per input and output 
• USB interface with included user-friendly software 
• Engineered and assembled in Europe 
 
The DCP-26 is a very complete 2 in- 6 output digital speaker manager. Even if you are not an audio 
engineer you can easily setup this unit with the included software that you can connect to a PC or Mac 
with the onboard USB interface. It has 10 PEQ's at the in- and outputs and various types of filters to 
manage any kind of speaker or speaker system. Furthermore it has all features you need like phase invert, 
limiters and delays. Clear in and output meters in combination with the LCD display gives you all the 
necessary information in one overview. Our engineers will keep working on presets for the DAP speaker 
ranges to help you get a good start  for your personal DAP audio system. Those presets can be 
downloaded at 

www.dap-audio.info

 or ask your local dealer. The DCP-26 is suitable for PA, line arrays 

and audio installations, as well as sound distribution networks.
