Overview
Designed for Installed Audio Performance ■ Hundreds of inputs and outputs ■ Digital router for point to point routing ■ Full range of Interface Cards ■ Integration with DiGiCo desks ■ Elegant control options ■ Full 24bit 96kHz superior audio quality
4REA4 is a new type of system processor leveraging the power of FPGA technology, 96kHz sample rate and intuitive, console-based software to enable superior quality, networked audio throughout your facility. The centralised DSP engine can process 128 input channels, 56 outputs and can be used as a 536 x 538 point to point matrix in any combination. On board connectivity consists of a range of network ports, SD Card slots (up to 3) and DMI Card slots (up to 4). You can also split the workspace into zones each with their own stereo master, to which access is limited through User Groups and Permissions. It also has 8 user programmable keys that can change the configuration at the touch of a button, so the system can be optimised for a range of set ups and applications, then recalled on demand. The 4REA4 has bi-directional connectivity with any device on the network in both its proprietary format and a range of other standards (Dante,

MADI, Aviom, Waves Soundgrid, Optocore, ME-1, AES). The system can also interface with external devices using TCP/IP, GPIO, Midi and AMX/ Crestron. The system has a range of I/O and Control peripherals that can interface over a standard, standalone network. It is designed to be plug and play, working off the shelf with Layer 2 network hardware, no IP or Mac addresses just simple ID settings established over a web browser. Building the software platform around a mixing console is designed to open up the set-up, control and management to in-house Technical Managers or Heads of Audio, allowing venues to be in control of updates, changes or upgrades should they have the right in-house expertise. Automatic firmware updates ensure your system is on the most recent version, simplifying service and maintenance. The software works with macOS, Windows, IOS and a range of tablet devices.

CENTRALISED DSP 128 inputs, 56 outputs and the ability to optimise your solutions for live performance by splitting the work spaces into zones each with their own Stereo Master. The 4 DMI Slots allow the system to interface with other audio formats and give bi-directional communication with all connected devices creating a very powerful system hub. The 3 card slots allow you
to customise the on-board I/O, providing a total of upto 536 inputs and 538 outputs. The 8 network ports deliver a cost-effective way to connect all external I/O and Controllers. The Centralised DSP Engine, an I/O Interface, a controller and a laptop are all you need to get started.
PERIPHERAL I/O 4REA4 has a range of intuitive, well featured I/O peripherals allowing you to extend your connectivity throughout the venue with ease, including intelligent labelling via LCD screens and visual feedback.

CONTROLLERS Three versatile controllers give you a range of options, all designed to work with PoE or PoE+. A well, thoughtout combination of touch interface and physical controls allows the system to be adapted to a range of needs and skills. From room source and volume
control to a mini mixing console, the controllers can be adapted to suit your exact requirements. To program you simply drag and drop what you want onto the controller, what could be easier?
SOFT WARE A comprehensive audio processing solution that is quick and simple to configure and easy to adapt. Multiple user groups and permissions allow you to control who has access to different areas of the system to create a secure, reliable operating environment. The software puts a vast processing resource at your fingertips, and gives you the ability to switch easily between up to 8 different configurations for the most efficient management of this resource. The software works with macOS, Windows, IOS and a range of tablet devices.
