Bosch Communications Systems Division has announced the release of IRIS-Net V2.1.1 software offering new features developed for both live audio and installation markets.

Additions such as two-, three-, four-, and five-way FIR-Drive DSP blocks for NetMax make it easier to take full advantage of the performance that Electro-Voice FIR-Drive processing and hardware technology offer.

The newly added Scene Manager provides a new level of customization for control and recall of DSP parameters within EV NetMax.

Additional User Controls and DSP Object Template Dialogs bring a new dimension to the already highly customizable and flexible GUI applications for setting up and controlling audio systems.

IRIS-Net V2.1.1 also now provides up to 64 Control Layers to allow users to create deeper and richer interfaces.
