These systems combine active crossover network, parametric equalizer, delay, RMS compressor and peak limiter in one unit. Thus, they are powerful tools in order to control every important feature necessary for a perfect speaker management in PA applications or for setting up active speakers. Every feature and adjustment can be edited directly at the unit or via the USB interface or RS-485 interface on the PC by means of an intuitively operated graphical user interface and then be stored in 64 individual presets. Up to 64 presets for each project are possible which can be managed via a convenient project administration. Projects with perfectly matched presets can be downloaded from our website www.monacor.com. Digital speaker management system

"Two MEGA-112 as top parts as well as one MEGA-118SUB were brought to the test. We used the power amplifiers STA-600 and STA-1400 for the top parts in bi-amping and the STA-1000 for the bass reproduction. For the functional control, we applied the digital speaker management DSM-260. The units were tested in a small factory building ... it featured many windows, a concrete floor and several tiled surfaces, allowing the high frequencies to show no mercy ... however, with the precise equalizers of the DSM-260, we were able to tame these very quickly ... the unit allows to optimise the sound quickly and intuitively ... we turned the volume up and achieved an impressive performance. The subwoofer is very stable and provides a really powerful sound. The MEGA-112 impresses by a really well-balanced sound. Full and dynamic dance music with a really great sound can thus be achieved. This PA system is able to easily provide a professional sound for 400 guests, even for the more sophisticated listener. Thumbs up. The selected PA combination is very suitable for everyone performing at temporary locations."
