Time for me to finally order a case.
Thinking of buying one of these. Seems perfect. Made for x4 OEM 180's.
LX521 Constant Directivity Loudspeakers
Hopefully the Mac version will launch at the same time.

Here is a pic, made by Dr Frank Brenner.
With a tidy behind
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

This would be even nicer if one could put NCores inside.
The problem is NCore only comes in 400. It would be welcome (and cheaper to build) if Hypex offered Ncore 100 and 200 as well.
Might be able to squeeze in a pair of nCore. Have you seen the other box they make. As it would be easy to change those SpeakOns for xlr's and just have the amps in another box.
Frank said it wouldn't really be sufficient for the nc500 though.

Ordered. In transit.
Can't wait to finally get the DLCP up and running. Hopefully just in time for new software.

Well, UcD400HG is 40% more expensive than UcD180HG.
NCore30 would work for the tweeter for example. ...just saying.
@Neheb. Yes I just purchased the case. Its still in Germany, hopefully here early this week.

@Hypex, Is the new software able to utilise the MiniDSP UMIK-1 through the computers usb or directly?
HFD uses Asio usb audio devices. Maybe the Umik will function with a generic Asio driver (Asio4all). You have to try.
I couldn't get it to work directly, Jan said it I needed one with a phantom power supply.
I could import from another piece of software that recognises the UMIK, but it would be neat it the DLCP itself could read it directly, or at least in the filter designer.

Just checked the ASIO4ALL driver. It is possible to select different soundcards as in and output. In theory the Umik can work, but maybe some latency issues spoil the party.
DLCP chaining
Just to confirm, that with 2.1 firmware, the DLCPs run well in chained mode.
We use a MASTER / FOLLOWER concept with two PowerBoxes pro 4400 i.o. to feed the 8-ch active setup LX521.4
Both DLCPs are connected to a Hypex input board.
Only the MASTER box carries a LCD/Pushbutton/remote control board.
Both DLCPs are interconnected via a single CAT 5 cable (commands and music/AES).
A few tips:
-during setup, Hypex Filter Designer software connected via USB port, select the number of input channels to 4 on both DLCPs, even if you use less channels.
-check for proper switch positions on the input board acc DLCP manual.
-set both input selectors to "Auto Detect". The second DLCP synchronizes to this input selection
-feed your digital signal to the first DLCP in the chain (in our setup: MASTER box) : AES/EBU or SPDIF (or USB)
-the first DLCP (MASTER box) will auto detect the input signal type (eg SPDIF)
-the second DLCP (FOLLOWER box) will auto detect the input signal on the Cat5 interconnect: AES
-forcing the synchronized DLCPs input to one type will (except for AES) make the second DLCP silent, because the second DLCP sees only AES signals , coming in via the Cat 5 cable. You must allow the second DLCP to seek for this AES signal (by choosing AutoDetect)
-optical is not detected by AutoDetect. (to be fixed with next firmware update)
Hope this helps you , when chaining DLCPs in a multichannel setup.
