d&b audiotechnik has announced scalable I/O sizes for the DS100 and DS100M signal engine, an extension to the d&b Soundscape ecosystem.
This development enables users to tailor a Soundscape system to better suit their 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, allowing customers to select their preferred I/O count. This expansion provides a more flexible and cost-effective entry point for d&b Soundscape projects, while also enabling larger productions to benefit from increased channel capacity.
Existing DS100 and DS100M users will receive a free firmware upgrade, increasing their maximum I/O processing from 64x64 to 128x64. Additionally, two new DS100 I/O sizes, providing 64x24 and 64x64 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.
