International. Calrec Audio announced two new developments in the company's product range. The first is the 4U core for console, with new elements and used for the Summa and Artemis Light consoles. The second is the new single-slot modular MADI card with SRC.
The new core offers many advantages over its predecessor, including improved green credentials. Not only do they have faster and more efficient processors, they now operate with 5% lower power consumption and are more easily accessible for maintenance. They also have automatic speed control and ambient temperature sensor. There is even less noise at low temperatures, and the fans operate at lower and less noticeable frequencies.
A single-slot modular MADI card that fits into the 3U modular Hydra2 frame was also announced. Not only does the new card offer 64 bidirectional channels, it also includes a sample rate converter.
"Calrec continues to design and develop new products that meet the changing needs of broadcasters. We have made these improvements to our core console and designed the MADI card to meet the high standards of quality and innovation that our customers expect from us," said Jim Green, UK Sales Director Calrec.
