Smaller, powerful and cost-effective. Calrec Audio announced new audio processing and routing engine ImPulse1 IP in a compact 1U size. It comes with AES67 and SMPTE 2110 connectivity, an optional second core for redundancy and a new 128-input channel DSP pack offering entry-level pricing.
   

ImPulse1 features include a 1U enclosure as well as dual AC PSUs. Two cores for failover redundancy or optional non-redundant single core are available. It runs a single mixer with SMPTE ST2110/AES67 connectivity and can be controlled by Argo Q or Argo S control surfaces, and/or Calrec Assist, a browser-based GUI, ideally suited to remote working or headless operation.

ImPulse1 is designed for smaller, single mixer applications and is offered with an all-new DSP license of 128 input channels without compromising its ST2110 capability. With a small overall form factor of 2 x 1U unit, it’s immediately attractive for compact installation sites, such as outside broadcast and flypack applications, where space is at a premium. Furthermore, it doesn’t compromise on features and DSP power with DSP options ranging from 128 to 384 input channels and benefits from the DSP features from the larger, ImPulse core.
