DCA Groups increased to 24



The increased DCA groups to 24, provide new power increasing mixing effectiveness in larger and more complex applications such as theater/broadcast and when using cascaded 96 channel configurations. The 24 DCAs can all be easily edited and controlled through a new, easy to use DCA management interface.

New Scene Fade Function



The Scene Fade function allows channel audio levels to be set to fade smoothly when a scene is changed. Fade time is selectable up to 100 seconds and can be set to on or off for each channel individually by each scene. This function is ideal for musical and theater applications.

Five BOSS Effects Added



Five new channel effects include Multi-Band Compression/Expansion and four modeled BOSS compact effects including OD/DS series (Overdrive/Distortion), DD-3 (Digital Delay), DM-5 (Delay) and CE-1 (Chorus Ensemble), bringing more control and snap to live productions.

New Mastering Tool Kit



The new Mastering Tool Kit has been developed to include multiband compressors and expanders. The delay parameter included on each channel input and each output can now be set up to 1.2 seconds. This is especially important when longer times are required in video/streaming production or audio time alignment at large venues.
