Flexible and Reliable DSP With Optional Dante Networking

Combinations of flexible IO. The prism series offers the ideal number of class-leading Symetrix grade IO for each system, scaling from the smallest 4x4 to the biggest 16x16.

Dante is in the Symetrix DNA.128 (64x64) Dante channels are available as add-ons and factory fitted in Prism DSPs. Ultra-reliable multi-channel audio networking over IP is made possible via the Dante protocol.Together, Symetrix and Dante offer the quickest method for setting up, managing, and maintaining a networked DSP system, as well as third-party Dante-compatible microphones, loudspeakers, power amplifiers, and mixing consoles. For smaller systems, models without Dante provide even more affordable DSP cost.

Size up any Prism system's analog I/O with xIn 4, xIO 4x4, xOut 4, xIn 12, and xOut 12 analog I/O expanders from Symetrix, which are all Dante-enabled.

Unlimited Flexibility in Programming. Composer, an open-architecture CAD tool that has won several awards, is used to program Prism. The ability to directly setup Symetrix and choose third-party Dante gear is exclusive to Composer and removes the complication of using numerous or duplicate software tools.

Control Is Simple. Affordable Symetrix ARC wall panels and a simple-to-create SymVue Windows virtual GUI are just two of the many control choices available. Programming of external touch screens and control devices is supported using the human readable Composer Control Protocol.

A Web Server Embedded for Status and Additional Control. The integrated web server for Prism hosts ARC-WEB, a browser-based interface for PCs, tablets, and smartphones that shows I/O levels and diagnostics data.

Function, Fit, and Form. Standard 19" x 1U enclosures have been used in the design of Prism 8x8, 12x12, and 16x16. Prism 4x4 has a 1/2 rack 1U form factor for easy point-of-use or rack placement. (Rack and surface mount kits are available separately.)
