At InfoComm 09, dbx announced two new flagship processors that use parent company Harman’s HiQnet System Architect. The SC 64 (System Core) and SC 32 digital matrix processors feature Wizard-driven system configuration to support HiQnet for DSP power and routing flexibility, says the company.
The SC 64 and SC 32 host a total of 64 and 32 analog I/Os, respectively, configurable in banks of eight. According to the company, the flexibility of eight analog input cards and eight analog output cards facilitates different, fully loaded configurations, accommodating a wide range of standard sources via the onboard mic/line and per-input Phantom Power switching. Two high-speed option slots on the SC 64 and one on the SC 32 also provide an interface for adding forthcoming high-bandwidth audio transport I/O cards.
The units have dedicated DSP for common processing functions as well as insert positions for specialized processing and popular audio tools, including dbx Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS) Ambient Noise Compensation (ANC), priority ducking, parametric equalization (PEQ), delay, and dynamics.
Additionally, the two processors offer a range of control options, including HiQnet custom control panels, as well as Ethernet, serial, contact closure, and ZC wall controllers, plus automatically scheduled events. An optional media engine facilitates delayed paging and storage of audio files for scheduled playback.
