Architects & Engineer Specs
How many inputs does the PRO6 have?
The standard system has 72 NETWORK inputs, patchable to up to 80 processing channels, depending upon console configuration
What is the maximum number of inputs possible for the PRO6?
264 network inputs, dependant upon hardware configuration
How many mixes can the PRO6 create?
32 aux mixes, plus Left, Right and Mono. All aux mixes can be configured as stereo pairs, with separate level and pan controls
How many simultaneous input mix channels can the PRO6 provide?
Up to 80, all with EQ and dynamics processing, if 16 aux mix busses are configured as additional input channels
How much rackmounted hardware is there to hump around?
The standard PRO6 system uses two 7U 19” rackmounted units
Can I do my “virtual soundcheck” with the PRO6?
Yes, the PRO6 connects directly to a KT DN9696 recorder, or any other AES50 recorder, via Cat-5 cables. Individual inputs can be switched between mic input and “tape return” sources
Can I use a hard disk recorder with the PRO6?
Yes, the PRO6 connects directly to a KT DN9696 recorder, or any other AES50 recorder, via Cat-5 cables, or any other recording system via multiple AES/EBU or analogue audio connections
Can I use a PRO6 with the XL8’s DL431 input splitters?
Yes, the PRO6 can source from the digital outputs of an XL8 network, or use DL431 mic splitters as an alternative input source to it's own modular stagebox
Can I connect a MADI device to the PRO6?
No MADI compatibility as yet
How long does a PRO6 take to reboot?
Less than 30 seconds from cold
Can I run third party plug-ins on the PRO6?
No. The PRO6 uses Linux as an operating system, and most plug-ins are designed to run on a Windows or Mac OS. Also, any third party software running on the PRO6 would be unable to operate within the automatic delay management system, and therefore compromise audio quality
Does the PRO6 have any surround sound capability?
Yes, the PRO6 has normal stereo, SIS (LCR panning) Quad (4 ch.) LCRS (Left, Centre Right Surround) and 5.1 panning implemented
What happens if the computer crashes?
The PRO6 has three control microprocessors (2 x GUI and 1 x scan) and two (dual redundant) Master control computers (MC’s). In the unlikely event of one of these 5 Linux microprocessors failing, control input can be made from one of the two remaining control computers, or, in the case of the MC, the Control Centre can be switched over to the redundant MC. All of this takes place without any interruption of audio. The FPGA processing engine has redundant power supplies, is modular, and has the option of a redundant spare processing module which will automatically deploy in the event of a failure
What is the PRO6’s latency?
The PRO6’s latency is DETERMINISTIC and AUTOMATICALLY MANAGED. Latency is application-specific, extremely low latencies are important only in IEM (in-ear monitoring) applications, and the PRO6 has a minimum latency mode for this purpose. It is critical for quality audio reproduction that the latency through a digital mixer is synchronised. This means that all audio is phase-coherent at all times. PRO6 and XL8 are the only live audio consoles in the world which do this automatically
Can I interface my PRO6 with other audio gear digitally?
PRO6 can be connected to any other manufacturers’ equipment via AES3 (AES/EBU) and AES50 interfaces
Can I control my PRO6 remotely?
Remote control of the PRO6 can be achieved using a computer, laptop or tablet, via a proprietary Ethernet KVM switch. Connect the VGA video output, and the USB control port of the desired GUI to the KVM box, and connect the PC’s network card to the Ethernet KVM switch. The connected PRO6 GUI can be viewed and operated from the remote computer
