P64 matrix

Digital audio matrix manager

The P 64 Digital Audio Matrix Manager is a modular, network-compatible and freely configurable audio system controller that allows designing complete system solutions.

In the DSP, any structures with up to 32 audio channels are freely configurable. This is possible by the wide variety of different DSP blocks available, such as mixer, matrix, dynamics, crossover, EQ, and even FIR filters. The processing power of the DSP can be further increased with extension cards. Freely expanding the hardware configuration as well is possible through four module slots located on the rear of the P 64. Theses slots can be equipped with 8-channel digital or analog input or output boards; even a special microphone input card is available. Several P 64s can be interconnected via a CobraNet network, which allows operation and supervision of even the largest decentralized audio systems. Integrated control and logic functions ensure that complex operations can be carried out without problem. It is for example possible to link various parameters to each other in a Task Engine using logic and arithmetic functions and apply the results to an arbitrary number of other parameters. This also provides the possibility for time-controlled operations. Faults in and breakdown of the P 64 Manager itself and all devices integrated in the system are detected automatically. An according message can be output via control contacts, other interfaces or displayed on the PC screen.
