RCF Matrix Audio Processor

RCF DX 1616 matrix DSP audio processor

The RCF DX 1616 matrix DSP audio processor is designed to provide advanced signal routing and comprehensive processing capabilities for both touring and installed sound applications. Built on a hybrid DSP architecture, it utilizes a 48 kHz sampling rate and a 40-bit floating-point processing engine to deliver precise and high-resolution audio performance with exceptional clarity and accuracy.

This processor features a powerful 16 x 16 input/output matrix, allowing flexible signal routing across multiple zones, speaker systems, or audio feeds. It integrates Dante-enabled audio networking, enabling seamless digital audio transport over Ethernet, making it ideal for modern network-based audio systems. In addition to Dante, the unit includes 8 AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs, along with multiple analog connections, providing extensive compatibility with professional audio equipment.

With a maximum latency of just 3 ms, the DX 1616 ensures real-time audio processing with minimal delay, which is critical for live sound reinforcement and synchronized audio systems. The device offers a complete suite of DSP tools including high-pass and low-pass filters, parametric equalization, delay, compression, and limiting. These processing capabilities allow detailed system tuning, speaker management, and optimized sound distribution from a single unit.

Control and configuration are streamlined through Ethernet connectivity and an intuitive software interface compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android platforms. Designed in a compact 1U rack-mount format with a durable metal chassis, the RCF DX 1616 delivers reliability, flexibility, and professional-grade performance for complex audio environments.
