The DXP Digital Expansion Processor works with the DCP200/300 cinema processors and DCA amplifiers to create the most powerful networked audio solution for cinema. DCA Series amplifiers connect to the DXP via twelve DataPorts for maximum output and control flexibility for even the largest systems. The DataPort connection supplies audio to the amplifier and controls the AC power while monitoring key amplifier conditions such as clipping and heat sink temperature. The audio output of the amplifier is returned to the DCP via the CobraNet connection so that it can be listened to via the DCP’s built-in monitor speaker.
