Apex launches audio system management devices

The Intelli-series features internal processing up to 192kHz as standard, studio-grade analogue circuit designs and mastering-grade compressors.

The new Intelli-series consists of two system management devices, Intelli-X² 26 (2 in, 6 out) and Intelli-X² 48 (4 in, 8 out), providing tools for system alignment and EQ, through to the provision of IIR and FIR based crossovers. The internal processing is selectable from 44.1kHz to 192kHz. Sample rate convertors are provided on the inputs as standard and may be switched in and out of circuit as required, enabling digital equipment operating at different rates to be connected.

Intelli-X² I/O can be selected (in pairs) to be either analogue or AES3/EBU, enabling a mix of audio formats to be used simultaneously. The front panel features an integral LCD menu that uses graphical icons similar to those used on many smartphones. Four sync options are available: Wordclock, AES A/B, AES C/D and internal. The Intelli-X² series manages synchronisation by providing a three-tiered redundancy approach, ensuring that if any sync source is lost, the Intelli-X² will automatically revert to another (as defined by the user).

An integral date and time-based logging system is incorporated within all Intelli-devices. The log provides details of any key configuration/ control changes made and this log is available for viewing on the front panel display, or can be downloaded directly onto a computer.

The Intelli-series is designed to interface easily into any existing (or bespoke) Ethernet network via internal 3-way Ethernet switches. Both automatic IP (DHCP) and static IP configuration is provided as standard, enabling plug & play connectivity and more rigid IP assignments for use in fixed installations. SNMP support also provided. Wireless access points can be directly connected to Intelli-X² devices allowing direct control over a wireless network.
