FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor

FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor – 2-Input 6-Output Digital Loudspeaker Management System

The FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor is a 1U digital loudspeaker management system that gives sound engineers complete control over a professional PA. With two analogue inputs, six analogue outputs, and a S/PDIF digital input, it handles crossover, equalisation, delay, limiting, and routing for multi-way systems from a single rack unit. The FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor is the system brain that turns a collection of amplifiers and speakers into one tuned, protected, and predictable loudspeaker system.

Why Choose the FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor?

The FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor stands out because of the depth and quality of its processing. Its SAM3716 DSP works with 24-bit data and 96-bit coefficients, with AKM converters and 48 kHz sampling, delivering a signal-to-noise ratio of 110 dBA and distortion of just 0.005 percent. Every input carries up to 31 bands of IIR equalisation, every output carries its own EQ plus IIR, FIR, or linear-phase crossovers from 6 to 48 dB per octave, and each output has its own gate, delay, and RMS plus peak limiters. The fully assignable matrix routing, 32 user presets, front-panel USB for PC connection, and Ethernet plus RS-485 networking mean the FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor fits touring rigs, installs, and rental systems where settings must be recalled exactly, night after night.

Key Features

• 2 inputs, 6 outputs: Two balanced XLR analogue inputs and six balanced XLR outputs, plus a S/PDIF stereo digital input at 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz, cover most multi-way systems.
• High-resolution DSP core: The SAM3716 DSP with 24-bit data, 96-bit coefficients, and AKM converters delivers 110 dBA SNR and 0.005 percent THD plus noise.
• Advanced crossovers: IIR, FIR, and linear-phase crossover filters from 6 to 48 dB per octave let you tune each loudspeaker driver precisely.
• Per-output protection: Each output has its own gate, delay, and RMS plus peak limiters, so drivers stay safe even when operators push the system hard.
• 32 user presets: Thirty-two presets store complete system tunings for different venues, speaker combinations, and show formats.
• PC and network control: Front-panel USB, Ethernet, and RS-485 networking allow the FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor to be configured and monitored from a computer.

Best Suited For

The FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor is best suited for live sound engineers, system technicians, rental companies, and installers building multi-way PA systems. It is ideal for biamped and triamped main systems, distributed venue systems, and any setup where different speaker models need individual crossover, EQ, delay, and limiting from one central processor.

Setup and Connection Guide

Rack-mount the FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor, connect your mixer outputs to the balanced XLR inputs, and connect the six XLR outputs to your amplifier channels, one per loudspeaker driver section. Connect a computer over the front-panel USB port and use the configuration software to assign the matrix routing, set each crossover point and slope, apply input and output EQ, and set delay and limiter thresholds for each driver. Save the finished tuning as one of the 32 user presets, and use the front-panel LCD and mute buttons for quick checks and muting during a show. For networked installs, connect Ethernet or RS-485 so multiple units can be managed together, and the FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor will recall your exact tuning every time it powers on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor the same as the DLM26?

Yes. DLM260 and DLM26 refer to the same FBT processor family; this listing uses the DLM260 name from the sheet, and the datasheet and manual specifications match.

Can the FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor protect my speakers?

Yes. Each output has RMS and peak limiters plus a gate and delay, so you can set safe maximum levels for every driver in the system.

How many presets does the FBT DLM260 DSP Loudspeaker Processor store?

Thirty-two user presets, each holding a complete routing, crossover, EQ, delay, and limiter configuration.
