Based on the already successful DP428 platform, the new 4 Series considerably increase sound company choice. The DP428 takes on the name DP448 to complete the family and share the common technology. The five models in the series are: DP448 – 4 In 8 Out, DP446 – 4 In 6 Out, DP444 – 4 In 4 Out, DP426 – 2 In 6 Out, and DP424 – 2 In 4 Out.
As the demands placed on professional audio systems continue to steadily increase, so must the technology be advanced to maintain the expected quality and useability. Based on a completely new processing platform, running at a native sample rate of 96kHz, the 4 Series set a new standard in terms of performance, flexibility, and ease of use.

Much more than a sum of its parts, the 5 Series dynamic management takes the features of the 4 Series products and adds the equivalent of four D2 dynamic equalisers across the inputs and a channel of C2 compression on each output, along with a new matrix mixing mode.
With two units available (DP548 – 4 inputs/8 outputs, and DP544 – 4 inputs/4 outputs), all the original features and sound quality of the 4 Series are preserved and expanded upon using a newer DSP platform, and with some never before seen ground breaking features in AudioCore, it all makes for a new dynamic combination…
