MAVEN.A is a smart audio platform with modular IOs and signal processing. Hosted in a compact 1 RU housing it offers a capacity of up to 400 x 402 audio channels and an adaptable feature set to meet the evolving needs of today's audio applications. MAVEN.A is designed to bridge the gap between entry-level and flagship audio systems, sharing the same hardware modules of the PRODIGY Series.

A smart platform features a powerful FPGA plus processor and is able to grow or change depending on the requirements of single applications. Thus a smart platform contributes to DirectOut's philosophy of the Audio Solution Model (ASM). How?

- Populate the mainframe with modules as needed.
- Select the licenses to run the application.

Licenses are available on a granular level to add just the portion that is required now.

Modules - IO
MAVEN.A features one A slot and two C slots:

- A slot - audio network, multi-port MADI or USB - up to 256 channels
- C slot - converter (mic/line, AD/DA) and AES3 - 8 channels per module

Two SFP cages can be fitted with various transceivers to extend the connectivity by two additional MADI ports with 64 channels each of.

Multi Format
- RAVENNA / AES67
- Dante
- AVB / MILAN
- SoundGrid
- MADI - single-port, multi-port
- Analog
- AES3
- USB

DSP
64 Flex Channels provide signal processing with excellent internal plugins:

- FIR filter with selectable filter types and a custom filter
- IIR filter with six instances of selectable filter types
- Dynamics with four different configurations
- Delay of up to 65535 samples (= 1365 milliseconds @ 48 kHz)

64 x 64 Matrix Mixer to mix 64 freely assignable sources to 64 busses.

64 Summing Busses, each of which can sum any number of signal sources to a single feed.

AutoMix for automated mixing of different audio signals in up to 16 AutoMix groups to increase intelligibility or to reduce noise

DSP licenses are available in packages of smaller units to portion out the total capacity.

Seamless connecting & Redundancy
Bidirectional sample rate conversion (HD SRC or FastSRC)* connects across clock boundaries.

32 Input Managers each managing the signal automatic switch-over between up to six physical inputs.

EARS™ (Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching) for automatic fail-over switching of an entire input port to a backup port.

Available licenses: FastSRC, Input Managers, EARS

Loudness Metering
Loudness Metering - 8 routable channels loudness metering

Control is key
Globcon control manages all DirectOut devices via network - either on Mac or PC.
Local display and operation on a touch display facilitates the overview and grants basic control.
Third-party control protocols (Ember+, OSC, SNMP, JSON-API, Lawo HOME) are available as options.

Available licenses: Ember+, SNMP, OSC, Lawo HOME, Automator



* FastSRC operates on the mainframe, HD SRC is available only on corresponding hardware modules (XX.SRC.IO).
