EN325

Overview

The small studio offers playback over 8 Meyer and 21 Genelec loudspeakers, that can use the support of two LFEs.

Routing of in- and outputs is provided (digitally) by a SuperCollider based application, simply called the matrix, which is run on a dedicated computer system (also referred to as The Matrix).

A work station computer offers access to some licensed and free software for audio production and digital signal processing. It is connected to the matrix by a MADI audio card, which offers 64 in- and outputs (respectively) for a sample rate of 44.1 or 48kHz and 32 in- and outputs (respectively) for 88.2 or 96kHz.

External computers can interface the studio using a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (1st Gen). An RME OctaMic offers eight microphone preamps.

All hardware is clocked by a central wordclock in EN326 (i.e. all hardware uses the same sample rate).
