Symetrix Prism 8x8 DSP Audio Processor with Dante

The Symetrix Prism 8x8 DSP Audio Processor with Dante providing the perfect amount of class leading Symetrix quality IO for any installation. DSP price/performance breakthrough. 8x8 analog I/O with 64x64 Dante and the exact same powerful Symetrix DSP engine found in our Edge and Radius products. Incredible Sound. Industry leading analog mic-pre and A/D/D/A performance, 48-volt phantom mic power.

Dante in Our DNA

Prism DSPs are equipped with optional factory installed 128 (64×64) Dante channels. The Dante protocol enables ultra-reliable multi-channel audio networking over IP. Together, Symetrix and Dante provide the fastest possible way to implement, control, and maintain a system of networked DSPs and accessories including third party Dante-enabled microphones, loudspeakers, power amps, and mixing consoles. Models without Dante provide even more accessible DSP pricing for smaller systems.

Scaling Up

 A Prism system’s analog input and output count may be increased using Symetrix Dante-enabled xIn 4, xIO 4×4, xOut 4, xIn 12, and xOut 12 analog I/O expanders.

Unlimited Programming Flexibility

Prism is programmed using Composer – Symetrix’ award winning open-architecture CAD application. Unique to Composer is the ability to natively configure Symetrix and select third party Dante hardware – thereby eliminating the confusion of multiple or redundant software applications.

Control Made Easy

Multiple control options include low-cost Symetrix ARC wall panels and an easy to generate SymVue Windows virtual GUI. The human readable Composer Control Protocol supports the programming of third-party touch screens and control devices.

An Embedded Web Server for Status and Even More Control

Prism’s embedded web server displays I/O levels, diagnostics data, and hosts ARC-WEB – a browser-based interface for smart phones, tablets, and computers.

Form, Fit and Function

Prism 8×8, 12×12 and 16×16 have been designed using standard 19” x 1U enclosures. For convenient point-of-use or rack mounting, Prism 4×4 features 1/2 rack 1U form factor. (Surface and rack mount kits sold separately.)
