The new Electro-Voice signal processor is capable of executing 300 MIPS per frame, with possible expansion to 600 MIPS per frame. Up to 32 channels of input and output are available per unit. The possibilities of the system, which accepts 8-channel input and output modules, are virtually unlimited in network configurations, say EV. You can, for example, link any number of N8000 units via Cobranet and Ethernet. The new, modular matrix is suitable for all fixed installation and mobile professional audio productions - or any application requiring system integration and system security.
Other characteristics of the EV NetMax 8000 include freely definable signal flow and standard signal processing modules; full system integration and control all the way to the loudspeaker - made possible by the transparent integration of EV remote amps via CAN Bus; unified IRIS configuration and operating interface; fully-developed redundant mechanisms in all safety-relevant system components; integrated control interfaces for Ethernet, RS-232, CAN Bus and Logic-IO.
