Calrec ImPulse1 Audio Processing and Routing Engine
Following on from its new Argo audio mixing control platform , Calrec has announced its new ImPulse1 IP audio processing and routing engine — a smaller ST2110 version of the ImPulse . ImPulse1 is a compact 1U solution with an optional second core for redundancy and a new 128 input channel DSP pack offering entry-level pricing .
Since Calrec ’ s ImPulse IP core was debuted four years ago , the industry has seen a significant uptake in IP , but not without cost constraints . With the introduction of ImPulse1 , Calrec is making the move to IP more attainable for all its customers , offering a range of options to suit more budget requirements . ImPulse1 works with Argo Q and Argo S control surfaces , and / or Calrec Assist , a browser-based GUI , ideally suited to remote working , multi operator and / or headless operation . Cores with smaller DSP licenses can be offered without hardware redundancy .
ImPulse1 is designed for small to medium single mixer applications and is offered with an all-new DSP license of 128 input channels without compromising its ST2110 capability . With a small overall form-factor , it ’ s immediately attractive for compact installation sites , such as outside broadcast and fly pack applications , where space is at a premium . Furthermore , it doesn ’ t compromise on features and DSP power ; it has DSP options ranging from 128 to 384 input channels and benefits from the DSP features from the larger ImPulse core .
