Smart pi DSP

The Smart pi DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is the next generation of digital PA processor with massive audio processing ability that can support the smallest to the very largest of systems.
The Smart pi DSP is completely modular and future upgradeable via simple firmware updates. It is based on industry standards including Dante and AES70/OCA.
All configuration is managed in a simple web interface and can be externally controlled via AES70/OCA.
The hardware comes in a 1RU Node or 2RU SuperNode format and can manage up to 384 channels and 384 processing zones (64 per card) in a single unit.
As with all Smart pi products, all components are high quality and industrially rated.

Features

Exceptional Audio Quality and Speech Intelligibility
Modular system to ensure flexible installation options
Very easy to use and can be configured by anyone via a simple web UI
Front-to-back cooling for maximum use of rack space, and an embedded web server so no additional computer is required
Standards Based API using AES70/OCA for control and integration
