Three new products from Symetrix enable integrators to quickly and easily add inputs and outputs to SymNet DSP systems.

The first, the Symetrix xIn 4, is an audio input expander for SymNet Dante-scalable systems featuring four mic/line inputs with +48V DC phantom power. Similarly, the xOut 4 is an audio output expander featuring four line outputs, designed to take advantage of the surplus processing power of a SymNet Edge or Radius DSP to bring overall system costs down. The third new device, the xIO 4x4, is an audio input/output expander for SymNet systems sporting four mic/line inputs, including +48V DC phantom power, and four line outputs.

All three units are configured using SymNet Composer software, without the use of hardware DIP switches, front panel menus or third-party software. All come supplied with PoE injectors, with rackmount and surface-mount kits sold separately.

Symetrix has also released an update to its SymNet Composer software – v4.1 expands on the previously-announced integration of Shure, Audio-Technica, Attero Tech and Stewart Audio products to also include British microphone manufacturer Clockaudio, and its CDT100 mic-to-Dante interface which has features including LED powering and microphone motor control.

‘The xIn, xOut & xIO options increase a system’s analogue input and/or output channel capacity, resulting in a reduction in overall price per channel,’ says Symetrix MD of Global Sales & Marketing, Brooke Macomber. ‘Half-rack form factors help integrators conserve rack space. If preferred these devices can be surface-mounted. They bring further usability to the SymNet range, and strengthen our goal of making integrators’ lives easier.’
