OVERVIEW:
Based on the principles of the dbx ZonePRO® products, the SC 32 Digital Matrix Processor is the new flagship
product for Digital Matrix Processing. Wizard driven configuration using HiQnet™ System Architect makes
unprecedented DSP power, incredible routing flexibility and a rich palette of processing tools accessible with the
minimum of training. The SC 32 represents the professional choice of foundation on which to build even the most
demanding integrated system.
The SC 32 has a total analog I/O count of 32, configurable in banks of eight. Analog input cards and analog output
cards facilitate five different fully loaded configurations. Analog input cards accommodate a wide range of sources
with mic/line switching and phantom power per input. One high-speed option slot provides facility for adding
forthcoming high bandwidth audio transport I/O cards. The Media Engine factory option allows for flash-based,
multi-channel playback of stored media. All of these features are housed in a sleek 2U rack chassis.
With dedicated DSP for common processing functions and insert positions for specialized processing, the SC 32
offers many processing functions including Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS), Ambient Noise Compensation
(ANC), priority ducking, parametric equalization (PEQ), delay and dynamics. The SC 32 has a diverse range of control
options including HiQnet™ System Architect custom control panels, Ethernet, serial, contact closure, the popular ZC
wall controllers and even automatically scheduled events. With so many methods of control, an SC system can truly
be tailored to suit the needs and technical expertise of even the most scrutinizing contractor.
