Digital Cinema Monitors QSC Cinema DCM-10D

QSC Cinema DCM-10D

The DCM’s digital signal processing capability outperforms traditional analog crossovers for optimized speaker performance. Crossover frequency, parametric equalization, polarity and gain can be precisely adjusted for each speaker in your system. Digital delays, adjustable in 20 μs increments, assure proper acoustical time-alignment of loudspeaker drivers for smooth frequency response, especially critical in 3-way and 4-way systems. An active emergency bypass crossover with redundant power supply is also included for fail-safe operation.

In addition to audio monitoring of amplifier inputs and outputs, DCMs include QSC’s exclusive “load fault” detection. DCMs monitor all amplifier outputs and indicate opens and shorts in the speaker system and wiring via LED “load fault” indicators, providing confirmation that all amplifier outputs are functioning properly.
