Hi zig.
I've never checked, but i don't think it has that type of connectivity. Mine is like 9 years old.
It does have the rs 232 serial port for pc hookup and another port for master/slave.
You should be able to configure any of the input/ ouput channels with any eq/ x-over type you want as all the driverack models have 6 outputs like the dcx2496.

NOTE: We have been moving away from 4-way (and towards 3-way active, or even some having passive filtering in the top) with a lot of our more recent Paraflex rigs but If wanting to process a 4-way rig in stereo on a budget then the Bunker Audio Speaker Management DSP unit (8ch out DSP) could be a way to make that possible ........ I don't have any personal experience with the product but i have been told that it is great for the price:
Bunker Audio PowerDrive BPD-1 Plus

Ziggurat,
So glad to hear that you are enjoying these Type "C" Classic Paraflex subs!
Thank You so much for the photos/video and the review/report 
JohnnyJo,
We chose to revise the Paraflex top design with multiple 8s .... The version with four 8s vertical per cabinet doesn't bring our fundamental tuning into the optimal range but our most current Paraflex 2x8 is trap shaped and makes a great splayed array when used in multiples placed by side by side (the trap shape gives us a useful splay angle for increased horizontal coverage) .. . .... If you would prefer to create Line-Source arrays then be sure to have a look at our recent Paraflex 1x12 top plan update (released just recently) as it is an excellent choice for stacking multiples 🙂 .
Resko,
It is a pleasure to work with you and I am looking forward to the future!
I sense that there may be more of your Wisconsin Paraflex projects in the pipeline 😀.

I like the space shuttle meme! Those guys got some madd stacks!
Gentlemen, there is an upcoming gathering in a few days on November 12th ... The location is a place called MotionLabs in Berlin ..... Many HOQS Paraflex cabinets will be featured there including various of our subwoofers & kicktops ..

Would you mind sharing, i am looking to do the same?
I posted in the Facebook group as well.
Yes I can share. Here is the Planar 206. The Paraflex version of a 206 is, to my knowledge, never made. The paraflex 208 however you can find here.

Heck yes!
Ziggurat,
Looking good!
How would you describe the sound?
If the cabinet's upper response sounds a bit too resonant then you always have the option to stick a 2" thick square piece of open-cell acoustic foam on the panel at the back (closed-end) of the High-Tuned resonator section, and that will tighten things up for you 🙂
Matthew, I wanted to follow up on this suggestion of yours!
I haven't been able to build recently and have had limited time to throw parties because I'm a new dad--but we did notice that the cabs have a resonance somewhere and if I can fix it with acoustic foam than that's obvious low-hanging optimization fruit for the rig.
Where precisely would I want to glue (staple??) the foam? On the inner wall directly in the path of the driver? Here's an uggo ms paint illustration of what I'm thinking (foam would be in red); let me know if I'm on the right track (and if you can link to a foam product to buy, that would be clutch too):
We're doing a block party with the rig tomorrow and we just wrapped a multi-day pool party for a friend's birthday last week.
Considering a Paraflex 1x12 midtop build but I want to eliminate the horn driver at the front of it. Is there a problem with that? I guess I could build them with the waveguide installed but leave out the actual horn drivers, giving me the option to put the horn drivers in later
Yes numerous people use them without the HF driver loaded in the same cab.
Perfect! Thanks for the prompt response.
From what I've read the 1x12 mid top can go up to 1300Hz with the B&C 12MH32 but should be crossed to about 800-1000Hz. Planning on crossing them at 900Hz. Thoughts? Would it be hurt to cross higher? Could save some cash on horn drivers if so.
I have 4 = 1x12s loaded with B&C 12FW76 using a separate cabinets for HF using PRV WG45-50 horn and PRV D3220Ti driver.
I have a passive crossover that crosses at 1800 and it sounds great - I only use this for simple setups.
For more complex setups I bypass the internal crossover and bi amp through PA2 crossing at 1000hz. It sounds much better - but only audio/sound junkies will notice.
Unfortunately I have no experience with the B&C 12MH32.

You read my mind!! Is like a maze! 🙁
Actually looks like it was on purpose so you do not find the info ( phun intended )
But yeah kipp , i hope Mathew will pull the trigger and decide to get a website where the designs can be shown with the seriousness the paraflex designs deserve.
There is too much effort and man hours put in to the designs that is a shame they share the info in the FB cluttered obscure way of showing info.
