Calrec Audio Argo Broadcast Audio Console
Calrec Audio has announced a brand-new audio mixing system designed to keep pace with the changes broadcasters are experiencing in their production workflows . Designed to adapt to changing production needs , Calrec ’ s Argo console represents a new approach to audio mixing , with a flexible control philosophy that breaks the traditional geographic tie lines between processing and control .
Argo is fully modular with interchangeable hardware panels and uses Calrec ’ s Assist UI at its core . This means that whether working on physical hardware panels or on a remote GUI , the user interface is both familiar and easy to drive . Its modular panel system encourages broadcasters to adapt surface hardware to meet their unique requirements , with two mid-level rows of interchangeable panels on the larger Argo Q model , and one mid-level row on the compact Argo S model . Calrec has also introduced a comprehensive system of user templates to instantly change the hardware user interface to meet changing requirements or user preferences .
The Argo is built around an expanded version of Calrec ’ s ImPulse IP core . ImPulse can also be located anywhere ; the location of the control surface is not tied to the processing core . It can power up to four independent mix environments , including headless mixers accessed on the public internet , with each mixer able to access more than 2,350 processing paths on a single console ; this provides enough power to deal with immersive and NGA mixing demands .
