The dbx ZonePRO 1260 is the latest addition to the ZonePRO family, providing comprehensive signal processing and control for commercial audio applications. With 12 inputs and 6 outputs, it delivers professional-grade tools for system optimization, including gain control, EQ, paging microphone processing, and sophisticated routing.

Designed for flexibility and superior sonic performance, the ZonePRO 1260 features reliable Euroblock connectors for balanced signals and RCA connectors for consumer-level equipment integration. It also supports analog input bussing for linking multiple units in scalable installations.

The processor offers advanced paging mic processing, including gating, de-essing, auto gain control, compression, and feedback suppression. Its routing module allows primary source selection, source ducking for paging, and priority override. Output processing includes patent-pending AutoWarmth® for natural low-frequency extension, along with EQ, bandpass, and crossover filters, limiting, and delay for precise system optimization.

Control options include wall panel Zone Controllers for end-user volume and source selection, built-in Real Time Clock for scheduled system changes, and remote access via Ethernet, enabling management from networked devices, dial-up, or wireless access points.

The ZonePRO Designer software provides a wizard-driven interface for fast configuration, monitoring, and system setup, making the 1260 a versatile, high-performance solution for commercial audio systems.
