“A highlight of our ISE demonstrations will be our recently introduced Control | Pack software in combination with our Thunder | Core AX64 AD/DD/DA router, AX Center and Core 256 interfaces,” says Kim Lumholtz, Global Sales Director. “This directly addresses the demand for increasingly high channel counts in live sound presentation environments such as stage presentation, monitor mixing and playback.

A free download for DAD equipment users, Control | Pack makes the configuration of primary and backup audio channels a breeze. Up to 32 independent routing preset groups can be configured and loaded into the AX64, AX Center or Core 256. Each group can accommodate four layers with up to 256 x 256 channels per layer.

Switching between input layer presets can be automated via signal triggers in the Thunder | Core interface or controlled from an external device. Detector and trigger configuration can also be handled independently. Switching time between routing groups is zero audio samples when operating manually via DADman or an external control panel.

Channel switching can also be actioned via a pilot tone or AE6 digital trigger. The processing time for a preset group is less than two audio samples under AE6-based control or around 1 millisecond for pilot tone detection, providing a practically inaudible transition.”
