Lectrosonics has announced that the first three models in the company’s ASPEN line of DSP matrix audio processors, the SPN1624 matrix mixer, the SPN16i input-only module, and the SPNConference telephone hybrid, are now shipping.
Employing sophisticated algorithms developed by Lectrosonics and the latest in high-speed DSP hardware, the new ASPEN series features include TCP/IP control over Ethernet, unlimited input expandability, real-time clock, 48-channel matrix bus, 1 Gbps expansion port, and true 48-Volt phantom powering for all inputs.
At the heart of the ASPEN system is Lectrosonics’ proprietary Proportional Gain Algorithm for auto-mixing without the use of noise gates, resulting in transparent audio and increased gain before feedback.
Five mixing modes are individually selectable for every matrix cross point.
Programming and access of ASPEN devices is handled via a single, centralized point of control through Ethernet, USB, or RS-232.
The system also allows for simultaneous multi-point 3rd-party (Crestron®; and AMX®;) and native control.
Karl Winkler, Lectrosonics’ Director of Business Development, commented on the company’s new ASPEN Series product line, “With the ability to be customized to their environment, these systems are ideal in presentation spaces, meeting facilities, boardrooms, houses of worship, and similar venues where the ability to automate and control a variety of input/output sources without supervision of an AV technician is highly desirable.”
“I’m confident those who design and install AV systems will find our new ASPEN Series processors a compelling choice for a wide range of installed sound applications.”
