Symetrix Prism 4x4 (non-Dante) Programmable DSP, 4 mic/line in, 4 line out, PoE+, ARC, 1/2 rack width
Symetrix’s Prism open-architecture DSPs serve as the backbone of any audio system, offering the ideal balance of performance and cost-effectiveness for a wide range of applications. Available in multiple channel configurations with both Dante and non-Dante options, Prism gives you the freedom to choose exactly what you need without paying for unnecessary features. The family ranges from compact 4x4 models to larger 16x16 units, delivering premium Symetrix audio quality and flexibility for any installation. Prism systems can easily scale with the addition of Symetrix Dante-enabled analog I/O expanders such as the xIn 4, xIO 4x4, xOut 4, xIn 12, and xOut 12. Programming is handled through Composer, Symetrix’s award-winning open-architecture CAD software, which also allows native configuration of select third-party Dante hardware—streamlining setup by removing the need for multiple control applications. Prism also offers flexible control solutions, including Symetrix ARC wall panels, the SymVue Windows GUI, and compatibility with third-party touchscreens via the Composer Control Protocol.
