Innova-Son Expands Sensory Live Series ConsolesDigital production console range expands to 3 models
September 12, 2000
Pro Sound International (PSI) announces the expansion
of the Innova-Son Sensory Live Series of digital audio production consoles to
include 3 models. PSI is the exclusive U.S. distributor for French manufacturer
Innova-Son. The Sensory Live Series has been expanded to include 3 models, each
offering dedicated functions, configurations and options to satisfy a wide variety
of applications:
- Essential Live provides 48 inputs, 20 auxiliary buses switchable pre/post
per channel, plus left, right and mono master output buses.
- Grand Live expands the configuration to include additional inputs, Stage
Box, and enhanced automation software functions.
- Digital Live also offers additional inputs, including the ability to introduce
8 digital inputs into the system, plus Stage Box and expanded automation capabilities.
The
Innova-Son Sensory Live Series combines the functionality of a typical analog
FOH or stage monitor console with the advantages of a fully digital signal path
and computer control of all parameters, including input patching and output distribution,
to provide a cost-effective solution for many applications. Providing instant
reset of every console parameter, comprehensive onboard dynamic processing, and
compact, lightweight and rugged construction, the Sensory Live Series offers an
economical package for concert production companies, theater installations and
broadcast facilities.
All 3 models share the new Sensoft V 6 software, which provides comprehensive
management of all console functions with extensive off- and on-line editing capabilities.
The new Version 6 of Sensoft has been introduced to support Hyper Driver, which
expands the processing functions of the Sensory Live Series system. Hyper Driver
will handle the control of all parameters of an 8-band parametric EQ, dynamic
processing and delay function on all of the mix bus outputs. All input channels
include a gate/expander, compressor/limiter and 4-band parametric EQ as standard,
provided by the onboard 40-bit floating point DSP.
The Stage Box provides mic preamps at the stage, with remote control from
the console of all input parameters, including gain and phantom power. This allows
the replacement of conventional multiway cabling systems with a single multiplexing
coaxial cable. The Stage Box also acts as an active digital splitter system, providing
feeds for monitor console systems, recording and broadcast.
