Lawo Launches New Audio I/O Extender (AIOX) For Power Core

This is a new extension for the Power Core, Lawo’s software-defined DSP mixing and I/O engine.

Power Core supports up to 1,280 I/O channels and dozens of mixing busses and DSP channels, with open-standards-based RAVENNA/AES67 AoIP networking. Its new companion, the Audio I/O Extender, allows users to expand and extend their audio I/O infrastructure easily, quickly and efficiently with zero-configuration setup.

The Audio I/O Extender (AIOX) for Power Core works in conjunction with any Power Core setup. The Audio I/O Extender allows users to easily and economically expand their RAVENNA/AES67 networks. Populate AIOX with any of the 8-channel Power Core I/O cards, then connect to Power Core using TP, coax, single or multi-mode fiber for point-to-point transfer of audio and control data. Up to 20 AIOX devices can be connected redundantly to a single Power Core, expanding system I/O count with up to 1,280 additional audio inputs, outputs and GPIO.

With exceptional audio signal density and expandable audio capacity, Power Core is the ideal gateway between baseband audio formats and RAVENNA/AES67 IP media networks.
