Advanced Audio Control: IDEA Central Audio Routers Elevate Your Audio Management with Intelligent Switching and Processing
Elevate your audio control capabilities with IDEA Central Audio Routers from Mandozzi Elettronica SA. Designed to surpass simple X/Y connections, these matrices provide intelligent switching functions and audio signal processing. Whether as a main central matrix for radio houses or for serving multiple mixers, their versatility shines.
Install 19″ frames with audio and GPIO interface modules in the matrix cabinet or external concentrators. These connections via ATM, Gigabit optical fibers, or CAT5 cables can feature redundancy for automatic switchover during connection failures.
Creating a network of interacting matrices is effortless. Managed by one or several supervisor positions, the system and control positions connect seamlessly through LAN.
IDEA stands as a fully digital audio routing switcher, boasting diverse audio input and output interface modules. It converts input signals, from analog to digital, 2 Mbps, IP, MADI, ATM, and Gigabit, to the internal routing switcher standard (48 kHz, 32 bit, AES/EBU compliant). Output signals adapt to customers’ preferred formats. Redundancy is key – power supply modules, “crosspoints,” central processors, clock generators, audio busses, and control busses all come duplicated for heightened reliability. The dual halves of the redundant matrix can even be set up in separate rooms for added security.
Audio processing functions, achieved through digital signal processors (DSP), cater to every need. And with limitless DSP installations, even mixer console functions are within reach. Elevate your audio management with Mandozzi Elettronica’s IDEA Central Audio Routers.
