ASL Intercom has released Enchorus, a Dante-based audio network promising flexible and scalable solutions for live stage applications, production studios and other professional A/V installations.

Each of the four modules in the Enchorus series was designed for stage use, with guaranteed synchronisation across multiple switches. With various AES3 and analogue audio inputs and outputs, the modules intended for feeding analogue and digital power amplifiers, connecting effects devices in a side rack, monitoring, press feeds, and many other uses.

Each Enchorus module is equipped with two Ethernet ports for building redundant network paths or for daisy chaining, an integrated 16x16 mixer, a four-band equaliser on each input and output, and redundant power. The modules also include rubber bumpers that allow them to be stacked on stage easily and safely or, as an option, multiple units can be rackmounted.

The flagship Enchorus ENC 1201 provides eight high-quality mic inputs with a maximum input level of +24dBu, more than 152dB of dynamic range, a built-in mixing engine, and an internal four-way splitter with individual level, phase, and filter settings.

Configuring Enchorus modules is via an integrated web interface. Units connected to the network can be named and configured easily, all the way down to filter settings, and device configurations can be stored, imported, and exported to reduce set-up time for installations of any size.

‘Enchorus line meets the highest performance and durability requirements for use in a broad range of live production environments,’ says ASL Intercom MD, Wil Stam. ‘The network-based Enchorus I/O modules can be conveniently located close to performers to provide the necessary inputs and outputs for any situation. And, since Dante uses conventional IP networks, configuration is quick and easy – lowering costs and facilitating efficient network design for professionals on tour.’
