d&b audiotechnik announces new scalable I/O sizes for the DS100 and DS100M signal engine in an extension to the d&b Soundscape platform that’s designed to enable users to better tailor their systems to better suit specific needs, whether for small installations, mobile productions, or large-scale immersive events.
With the introduction of scalable I/Os, the DS100 firmware has been updated to offer three license sizes, with users able to select their preferred I/O count. Existing DS100 and DS100M users will receive a free firmware upgrade, increasing their maximum I/O processing from 64 x 64 to 128 x 64.
Additionally, two new DS100 I/O sizes, providing 64 x 24 and 64 x 64 will be introduced, offering a broader range of price points and application sizes. The licences are upgradeable at any time, allowing users to tailor I/O to their specific projects and needs without the need for additional hardware.
“Our goal with Soundscape has always been to redefine immersive audio experiences,” says Daniel Zimmermann, product manager DSP & Network at d&b audiotechnik. “By making the DS100 more accessible to a broader range of users, from smaller venues to large-scale productions, we’re empowering sound designers, engineers, and creatives to fully explore object-based mixing without barriers.”
In addition to the I/O licenses, the available function groups have also been doubled to make more complex systems easier to manage. En-Scene will now come pre-installed on all future DS100, helping to ensure that users can immediately benefit from its advanced object-based mixing capabilities.
“By offering scalable I/O and including En-Scene in every DS100, the Soundscape ecosystem is now more versatile and, with the recently introduced reduced pricing for redundant backup units, more future-proof than ever,” adds Robb Allan, principal product manager Soundscape at d&b audiotechnik.
