HARMAN PRO dbx ZonePRO 1261M Audio Processor for Professional Audio Installations

The Harman International Industries dbx ZonePRO 1261M is a versatile rack-mountable audio processor designed for advanced sound management in commercial and professional environments. Featuring a comprehensive architecture with 12 inputs and six outputs, this device supports flexible configurations for complex audio systems. Inputs include six balanced mic/line switchable terminal block connections, four mono-summed pairs of unbalanced RCA inputs, and a single S/PDIF digital input accommodating up to two channels. The hardware-controlled microphone gain enables precise adjustment of input levels for optimal sound quality. Its pre-configured architecture integrates input processing, a central matrix, and output processing, simplifying setup and operation. Two input insert points and one output insert point allow for channel-specific processing, enhancing customization options. The device also incorporates AutoWarmth®, a psychoacoustic feature that maintains full frequency bandwidth even during low signal levels, ensuring consistent audio clarity across zones. The link bus functionality facilitates duplication of the first six channels to an additional ZonePRO device, expanding output zones as needed. The front panel provides easy access to a power indicator, network traffic LED, and an RS-232 control port, offering straightforward system monitoring and control. Optional Zone Controllers add further convenience, providing simple user interfaces for volume, source, and preset management. Seamless integration with third-party control systems via RS-232 or Ethernet ensures versatile control options. The accompanying ZonePRO Designer software enables intuitive configuration, control, and monitoring of the 1261M through Ethernet or RS-232 connections, with a step-by-step Configuration Wizard to streamline setup. Included with the device are essential accessories such as a power cable, RS-232 null modem cable, and rack mount screw kit. This robust and flexible audio processor is ideal for professional installations requiring reliable, high-quality sound management with extensive configurability.
