Overview

Unified audio matrix processor

Audac's LUNA-U is the next generation audio matrix processor. It offers the highest flexibility for audio systems and is scalable from medium to large to the largest enterprise solutions. The internal structure offers unprecedented flexibility and a wide range of options for an audio routing and mixing system. The two powerful SHARC DSPs combined with 32-bit ADC and DAC converters enable extensive signal processing with outstanding audio quality.

It has 12 analogue audio inputs and 8 analogue audio line outputs. The analogue inputs are switchable between microphone and line-level inputs and have enough headroom to process high-level audio signals without clipping or distortion. In addition, the Dante Option provides 32 Dante™/AES67 channel inputs and outputs, allowing the system to be integrated with Dante™/AES67-compatible environments.

The internal structure allows complete flexibility in assigning the signal path to any of the 16 stereo (or 32 mono) zones, while the powerful DSP's provide resources for DSP functions such as ALC, WaveTune on all inputs and zones, WavePreset on all direct outputs, Audio Delay, Mixing, Talk Over, 4 Level Priorities.... and many more. Special paging features and compatibility with Dante™-based paging consoles make the system even more unique.

The internal Linux core brings together all the control of this system and peripherals, and also hosts an internal messaging module, a timer scheduler module and implementation options for other Linux-based functions. In addition to full network control, other options such as RS-232 and RS-485 are also implemented.

The entire system is controlled via the AUDAC Touch™ app, which also takes control of the entire system, including all compatible Audac devices and peripherals.
