Symetrix Introduces SmyNet Edge

Symetrix announces SymNet Edge, an update to its line of DSP solutions including new features. Edge is scalable hardware configured with SymNet Composer open architecture software for total design synergy.

Symetrix designed Edge to meet the I/O capacity requirements of the bulk of commercial sound installations. Edge features four configurable I/O card slots, up to 16 channels total of local I/O plus 128 (64x64) channels of Dante network audio. Flexible I/O and plug-and-play networking enable multiple Edge units to scale to a project's demands.

Edge offers DSP efficiency, according to the company, consistently providing more processing per project. An internal gigabit switch provides the bandwidth that unleashes the power of Dante to deliver ultra-low latency networked audio. Multiple units may be connected without additional third-party network switches, or, with additional hardware configured for redundant operation with seamless failover.

SymNet Composer software manages all aspects of Edge hardware including audio, control, and security with an intuitive drag-and-drop CAD-style interface. Composer's fluid navigation accelerates site file design with over 500 proven DSP modules.

End-user control options for Edge include Symetrix' ARC wall panels, ARC-WEB browser based remote, SymVue custom standalone user control application, logic I/O, and third party controllers, such as Crestron and AMX.

Noted Dane Butcher, president of Symetrix, "In creating SymNet Edge, we doubled the processing power of its predecessor while continuing Symetrix' commitment to studio-grade fidelity. Combined with Dante, the world's best next-generation of networked audio protocol, this product is uniquely flexible, powerful, and reliable at a price point that is fiercely competitive."

To transition to Edge, the company offers advanced 24/7 training accessible online. In addition, the Symetrix technical support staff is available for in-person training and design assistance.
