Intelliplate is closely based on the digital wall panel system that Audace has been shipping throughout the course of this year, but boasts significant enhancements to both the hardware and software specification. For the first time the system is capable of controlling DSP processors other than the Allen & Heath DR Series. At the time of going to press, both the BSS Soundweb and the Gentner PSR1212 were compatible, with plans afoot to include other processors on an on-going development cycle.
The software includes facilities for volume control, source selection, room combining, paging and more. Panels are configured using the new PanelWare set-up utility which is available for free download from the Intelliplate website. Hardware enhancements include an infrared window on each wall panel to enable wireless connections between the rack and PC for in-zone adjustment of EQs, levels etc during installation. In tandem with this announcement, Audace also announced the establishment of a dedicated website for the new control system.
Audace can be found on stand P28.
