Get Excellent Installed Audio Quality with the DBX ZonePro 1261m 12x6 Tamper-Proof Digital Zone Processor - Euroblock Inputs

The ZonePRO 1261m offers fixed I/O, pre-configured architecture, configurable insert processing and optional duplication of audio channels to another ZonePRO device via a link bus.

• 12 Inputs / 6 Outputs
• 6 Balanced Mic/Line Inputs
• 4 Unbalanced, Mono-Summed RCA Input Pairs
• S/PDIF Input
• Microphone Gain per Channel
• Pre-Configured Architecture
• Two Configurable Input Insert Positions
• One Configurable Output Insert Position
• AutoWarmth per Output Zone
• Link Bus
• Optional ZC Controllers
• Ethernet Control
• Serial Control
• Third Party Control
• Wizard-Driven Configuration

The 1261m features a total of 12 inputs and six outputs. Inputs include 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. Hardware-controlled microphone gain allows adjustment of microphone gain per channel.

The 1261m device has a pre-configured architecture with input processing, a central matrix and output processing. Two input insert positions and one output insert position allow channel-specific insert processing to be configured. AutoWarmth, a psychoacoustic function that maintains full frequency bandwidth even when the signal level has dropped, is permanently available on each output zone.

A link bus allows duplication of the first six audio channels to another ZonePRO device in applications where additional output zones are required.

The front panel of the 1261m features a power status LED, a network traffic LED, and an RS-232 control port.

Additional system control is offered in the form of optional Zone Controllers. This collection of hardware wall-controllers represents a series of simple, elegant user interfaces for functions such as volume, source and preset control.

All ZonePRO devices can be controlled by third party control systems via RS-232 or Ethernet as applicable (see table for further information).
