Description
Aura8-IP 8-Channel Networkable Processor
Rack up eight audio processors in one networkable unit. Convenient, cost-effective, and more than able enough, the Aura8IP-3 audio processing BLADE-3 has I/O onboard and eight fully independent Vorsis multiband stereo audio processors.
With a single Aura8-IP-3, you can have up to eight processors to use as you wish. Use it as a standalone processor with analog and digital inputs or make it a part of your WheatNet-IP network. Either way, the Aura8-IP-3 is a powerhouse.
The Aura8-IP-3 occupies a single rack space, but packs an impressive complement of eight fully independent multi-band stereo audio processors. Each is deployable anywhere on the network through WheatNet-IP and offers full AGC, EQ, compression and limiting functions for HD, streaming, podcasting up to eight separate stereo applications in one unit.
The Aura8-IP-3 Audio Processing BLADE-3 brings two of Wheatstones core technologies together (Vorsis Ultra-High Resolution Audio Processing and WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network) to provide a convenient and cost effective way to provide audio processing wherever you need standalone or on your WheatNet-IP network.
Each processing chain consists of a 4-band parametric equalizer followed by a crossover and three bands of compression. The compressors each feed their own limiters, whose outputs are then fed to a broadband lookahead limiter for tight peak control. The Aura8-IP-3 has its own local I/O, with four stereo pairs of AES digital audio and four stereo pairs of analog line level audio in and out, and can function as a standalone processing engine. Because its a BLADE-3, it can also instantly configure itself as part of a new or existing WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, making its processing power available throughout that network.
The Aura8-IP-3 is configured and controlled over Ethernet using a laptop or desktop computer. Included with the unit is Wheatstones acclaimed Audio Processing GURU® software, which allows easy setup of the processing using familiar, straightforward controls. Also available is a more sophisticated control interface called GUI Pro, which provides access to every individual processing parameter for expert-level adjustments.
