The SC 64 and SC 32 host a total of 64 and 32 analogue I/O respectively, configurable in banks of eight. The flexibility of eight analogue input cards and eight analogue output cards facilitates many different fully loaded configurations, accommodating a wide range of standard sources via the onboard mic/line and phantom power switching per input, the company says.
Two high-speed option slots on the SC 64 and one high-speed option slot on the SC 32 also provide an interface for adding forthcoming high bandwidth audio transport I/O cards.
The units feature dedicated DSP for common processing functions as well as insert positions for specialised processing and popular audio tools including dbx Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS) Ambient Noise Compensation (ANC), priority ducking, parametric equalisation (PEQ), delay and dynamics.
Additionally, the new SC 64 and SC 32 devices offer a diverse range of control options including HiQnet System Architect custom control panels, as well as Ethernet, serial, contact closure control, ZC wall controllers and even automatically scheduled events. An optional media engine facilitates delayed paging and storage of audio files for scheduled playback.
