NST Audio will launch its new VMO16 16-in/16-out audio installation processor at Integrated Systems Europe 2020 in Amsterdam on Feb. 11. Designed using NST second-generation DSP designs, the VMO16 brings no-compromise audio performance and system control to Dante networked audio installations.

The VMO16 provides a total of 16 discrete inputs and a full 16×16 matrix, which allows any Dante network inputs to be routed to any of the 16 analog outputs. All outputs are equipped with 16 bands of parametric EQ, 48 dB/octave high-pass and low-pass filters and up to 1.3 seconds of delay. Also, high-performance two-stage PXL limiters are incorporated to give high-performance loudspeaker protection.

The VMO16 is housed in a 1U 19″ lightweight rack mount chassis using an aluminum front panel. It includes four banks of channel status indicators, and a master section containing Dante connectivity status and power indicator.

Industry-standard Phoenix-type three-pin, 5.08-millimeter pitch connectors are provided on the VMO16 rear panel for all analog connections. The four GPI connections allow configurable actions such as fire alarm mutes and preset recalls. Up to 30 presets can be stored with recall options allowing selective recall combinations of input, matrix and output sections.
