Multi-Level Mixing Support
Allows mixes to be fed back in as new inputs for layered signal processing.

Powerful Signal Processing
Each input includes filters, delay, dynamic control, and feedback elimination.

Real-Time Adjustments
All changes to audio settings take effect immediately with no delay.

Dante Networking Integration
Works seamlessly within Dante networks, supporting plug-and-play setup.

Loopback Routing
Routes any mix or Dante input back through the system for advanced configuration.

Built-In Test Tools
Includes signal generators like pink noise, white noise, and test tones for setup.

Smooth Gain Changes
Automatically smooths gain transitions to prevent clicks or pops in the audio.

Flexible Control Options
Can be controlled via USB, RS-232, Ethernet, or logic I/O.

Simple Rack or Table Mounting
Designed to fit easily into standard equipment racks or under tables.

Ideal for Complex Systems
