Enjoy High-Quality Performance with the Symetrix Prism 8x8 Dante

The Prism family is included in the Symetrix line of Dante™ enabled DSPs. Symetrix uses Dante, a multi-channel digital media networking technology, to interconnect multiple Symetrix DSPs, Symetrix I/O expanders, and select third-party Dante enabled devices. Prism is ideally suited for applications requiring powerful, extremely cost effective advanced signal processing coupled with a standardized means for future expansion.

• 8 analog in and out, 64x64 Dante and powerful Symetrix DSP reduce overall system costs.
• Ultra low latency Dante network audio protocol uses standard IT infrastructure.
• Industry leading analog and A/D/D/A performance, 48 volt phantom mic power.
• Configured using award winning Composer software. Controlled from ARC wall panels, ARC-WEB and third-party touchscreens. Embedded webserver enables remote metering and diagnostics.
• Front panel LCD provides configuration information, system status, and analog audio levels.
