New RACE software for the Electro-Voice Dx38

Electro-Voice has introduced new RACE software for the Electro-Voice Dx38 - one of the best-selling digital sound system controllers on the market. For this update (which can be downloaded free of charge from www.electro-voice.de) all the factory presets have been thoroughly revised, including both the 50 permanent factory presets in the Dx38 and the additional presets included with the RACE editing software which ships with the device. In addition to the 50 most common combinations of the current loudspeaker series FRi, Rx, Xi and X-Array, the folder named ‘Factory’ contains 25 additional presets, whilst the 50 ‘Old’ presets can be found in a separate folder. Most of the presets have been pre-programmed with the acoustic data of the relevant loudspeakers (phase and frequency response), so that each time the user modifies a parameter, he can see and hear at once the true acoustic response of the entire system, since RACE (Real-time Acoustic Cluster Editor) operates in real time. Also available is a Master Mute function, which mutes all the outputs instantaneously and is designed particularly for network applications (the control via RS-485 of up to 31 Dx38 units is possible).
