Peavey AA's New Digitool MX Processor

Peavey Architectural Acoustics aa.peavey.com/ has introduced the Digitool MX, a programmable audio processing and control system.

It includes parallel DSP processing, a multi-layer front panel display, and multiple interface and control options. Signal processing is accomplished using two 24-bit parallel SHARC processors with a combined power of 120 MIPS.

The Digitool MX gives the system designer an economical alternative to design, and is considerably more powerful than similarly priced components.
