Symetrix has launched three new products allowing integrators to quickly and easily
add extra inputs and outputs to their SymNet DSP systems.
The first, Symetrix xIn 4, is an audio input expander for SymNet Dante-scalable
systems featuring four mic/line inputs with +48 VDC phantom power. Likewise,
Symetrix xOut 4 is an audio output expander featuring four line outputs, designed to
capitalise on the surplus processing power of a SymNet Edge or Radius DSP to bring
overall system costs down.
The third new device, Symetrix xIO 4×4, is an audio input/output expander for
SymNet systems sporting four mic/line inputs, including +48 DVC phantom power,
and four line outputs.
All three devices are configured using SymNet Composer software, thereby
eliminating any requirement for hardware DIP switches, front panel menus or third-
party software. Featuring the industry-leading performance specifications of
SymNet Edge & Radius DSPs, the products come supplied with PoE injectors whilst
rack mount and surface mount kits are sold separately.
To ensure seamless configuration of the newly-released devices, Symetrix has also
released an update to its SymNet Composer software. Version 4.1 expands on the
previously-announced integration of Shure, Audio-Technica, Attero Tech and Stewart
Audio products to also include British microphone manufacturer Clockaudio, and its
CDT100 mic-to-Dante interface product which has features including LED powering
and microphone motor control.
“The new xIn, xOut & xIO options increase a system’s analogue input and/or output
channel capacity, resulting in a reduction in overall price per channel,’ says Brooke
Macomber, Managing Director, Global Sales & Marketing at Symetrix. “Half-rack
form factors help integrators conserve rack space. If preferred these devices can be
surface-mounted. They bring a further dimension of usability to the SymNet range
and strengthen our goal of making integrators’ lives easier.’
