DiGiCo has released the 4REA4 installed audio solution to meet the expanding performance requirements of large entertainment venues, houses of worship, theatres and shared stages at festivals and music venues.
At the heart of the system is the 4REA4 processing engine with DiGiCo connectivity options and powerful 4REA4 control software, providing routing, processing and mix control that allows performance areas to expand across an installation. The 4REA4 processing engine rack has four dedicated mix areas, or zones, each with its own stereo master output, CGs, and allocated FX. 128 input channel and 480-bus output processing strips allow independent processing per area.
Managing the mixing and routing of each individual local performance area are a range of premium designed hardware control panels and external I/O units, that work in conjunction with the 4REA4 processing engine and control software. Ethernet connected controller options include the wall mounting single rotary AControl1 with a TFT display for small area performance management, and the AControl8 with eight 100m faders designed for more complex mix and function control.
Local I/O boxes are managed via proprietary Ethernet or Dante connectivity for extended reach across a facility, with options including the new A168 STAGE floor rack and the A164 WALL LCD box, both providing mic and line level connectivity to ensure a premium 96kHz audio experience across the most demanding performance venues.
