DOC05-PRO2-01-09-2011
Architect’s and
Engineer’s Specication
The PRO2 and PRO2C standard package
comprises of:-
27 Bus Console (plus 4 solo),
64 main inputs (or 56 input and 8 aux
return)
56 XLR mic/line inputs,
24 XLR line outputs,
2 AES/EBU inputs
2 AES/EBU outputs
1 Console in ight case (TP version only)
4 interconnecting (N=1) rack Cat5-E
copper cables
The system shall comprise of robust
steel, 19” rack mountable, modular
units that can be interconnected
via N+1 or dual redundant cables
to provide a scalable audio signal
network with signal processing and
mixing capability. A central control
surface shall be provided consisting of
multiple modules housed in a robust
steel chassis that can be located well
away from the rest of the system and
connected by dual redundant multi-
channel digital bre or copper “snake”.
The entire system shall be fault tolerant
such that no single interconnecting
cable fault can stop the system
operating to its full capacity. All external
interfacing, internal processing and
system controls shall be modular
such that loss of power to any single
module only aects that module
allowing the remainder of the system
to operate normally. The operational
status of all the system modules and
interconnections shall be continuously
monitored and reported at the control
surface.
The system shall be congurable to
meet all of its I/O, processing and
control surface requirements within
an easily portable solution that is
fast to set up and only requires the
interconnection of two digital audio
cables (three for redundancy) and
power to make it operational.
The system shall be expandable and
capable of sourcing inputs and driving
outputs from multiple locations so
that for example all inputs can source
their signal from a hard disk recorder
for sound checking but switch over
to microphone feeds for the main live
show event.
The system shall be capable of mixing
56 primary input channels and 8
auxiliary input channels simultaneously
to 24 main bus output channels,
with equalisation every channel and
dynamic processing on all outputs
and primary input channels. 6 eects
processors shall be included that can
be inserted into any channel path with
the ability to add additional external
insert points to any of the channels, as
desired.
