3. General Overview and Features
The TDX2 is a compact and powerful DSP based audio-processing unit, ideally
suited for live applications, where it combines the functions of multiple conventional
products in a compact 1U high unit. For ease of use, the TDX2 is factory set for
operation with Tannoy products. In addition to this, 19 user memories are available.
The latest preset files and Tannoy parameters can be obtained from your distributor

The TDX2 has 2 inputs and 6 outputs, which can be configured in 5 basic modes, 2

delay and each output consists of a high and low pass filter, 5 bands of parametric
equalisation, limiter, delay, gain and polarity controls. A multi-level security ‘lock-

The TDX2 is also available with optional AES/EBU inputs and outputs. The TDX2 is
