The AirTools 6200 is a dual-channel, DSP-driven voice processor, with all the necessary functions to handle complete signal processing of microphone or line-level signals, in dual-mono or stereo. Processing blocks are editable from the front panel or from a Windows-based GUI accessed via USB or Ethernet ports, and changes are stored in any of the 1024 onboard preset locations. Processes include filtering, parametric equalization, compression, de-essing, gating, room simulation and more. The 6200 also supports HomerLink, an interconnect protocol that makes it compatible with the Studio Matrix system.
The Studio Matrix system is now shipping and supporting software version 1.1. This modular system for routing, mixing, and processing of broadcast audio is starting to open eyes around the industry, according to the manufacturer. Systems consist of dedicated input and output 1U DSP modules that network together using the proprietary SymLink bus. Studio Matrix Designer software for Windows provides system configuration and real-time control of audio functions via serial or Ethernet connection. A full complement of processing functions including filtering, equalization, dynamics, mix-minus, AGC, and more, are supported in the software, and available in every DSP device.
