Sound Quality

When a sound system is properly tuned, it becomes powerful, balanced and efficient. Bass content is punchy and tight, with vocals and instruments that are rich, crisp and well defined. The CX2310 crossover’s accurate signal processing protects critical loudspeaker components and improves overall system efficiency. All Input and Output connections are balanced/unbalanced XLR and feature 25 Hz Low Cut filters for low-frequency driver protection – plus Mute and Phase Invert switches, making troubleshooting even a large system – virtually effortless!

The Behringer Super-X Pro CX2310 is a high-performance signal processor designed for professional live sound applications. It functions as a stereo 2-way/mono 3-way crossover, offering precise control over audio frequency distribution within your sound system. This in-depth preview delves into the CX2310’s features, functionalities, benefits, and potential drawbacks to help you determine if it’s the right fit for your audio setup.

Frequency Crossover: The CX2310’s primary function is to divide the incoming audio signal into separate frequency bands. This allows you to direct specific frequency ranges (bass, mids, highs) to designated speakers or amplifiers optimized for those ranges. This optimization leads to improved sound quality, power efficiency, and speaker protection.

2-way Stereo/3-way Mono Operation: The CX2310 offers versatility in configuration. You can run it in stereo mode for 2-way crossovers in left and right channels. Alternatively, you can switch to mono mode for a 3-way crossover configuration, ideal for dividing frequencies across separate low, mid, and high frequency speaker setups.

State-of-the-Art Linkwitz-Riley Filters: The CX2310 utilizes 24dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley filters. These filters provide steeper crossover slopes compared to simpler filter types. Steeper slopes result in smoother transitions between frequency bands, minimizing unwanted phase cancellations and ensuring a more natural-sounding audio output.

Independent Subwoofer Output: The CX2310 features a dedicated subwoofer output with a variable crossover frequency range (10-235 Hz). This allows for independent level control and precise low-frequency management for your subwoofer setup.

Precision Components and Circuitry: Behringer emphasizes the use of high-quality components in the CX2310.expand_more These include 1% metal film resistors and ultra low-noise operational amplifiers. These components contribute to the unit’s accurate signal processing and minimal noise interference.

Enhanced Sound Quality: Precise frequency division and Linkwitz-Riley filters lead to smoother transitions and a more natural overall sound.

Improved System Efficiency: Distributing frequencies to speakers optimized for their ranges reduces wasted power and improves overall system output.

Speaker Protection: Low-cut filters and independent level controls safeguard your speakers from potential damage caused by excessive low frequencies.

System Optimization and Control: The CX2310 provides granular control over your speaker setup, allowing you to tailor the sound characteristics to your venue and audience.

Versatility: The 2-way stereo/3-way mono operation offers flexibility for various speaker configurations.

Professional Features: Balanced/unbalanced XLR connections, phase invert switches, and mute functions cater to professional live sound applications.

• Live sound engineers and system operators who require precise audio control for professional performances.
• PA system owners who want to optimize their speaker setups for better sound quality and speaker protection.
• DJs and audio enthusiasts seeking a reliable crossover solution for live events or complex speaker configurations.

The Behringer Super-X Pro CX2310 offers a compelling package for live sound professionals and audio enthusiasts seeking a high-performance crossover at a reasonable price. Its robust feature set, including Linkwitz-Riley filters, independent subwoofer control, and professional connectivity options, makes it a valuable tool for achieving superior sound quality and system optimization. While there’s a slight learning curve to using a crossover effectively, and the user interface might seem basic to some, the CX2310’s core functionalities deliver professional results. If you prioritize high-fidelity sound, system control, and value for money, the Behringer Super-X Pro CX2310 is a serious contender for your audio signal processing needs.
