Thanks to affordable, better sounding DSP, what was once a simple speaker crossover unit has evolved into versatile system controllers offering delay, equalization, dynamics, and more — all from a compact rack enclosure. Most of these systems adapt freely to provide processing of various third party speakers systems; however, we did not cover products that are highly integrated to handle only speakers from a single manufacturer, such as VUE Audiotechnik’s V4/V6 Systems Engines or L-Acoustics’ LA4/LA8 Amplified Controllers.

However, given the options and flexibility of these offerings, a little customization might be just the ticket for your system.
