Description
XILICA U1608 Programmable 48kHz Ethernet DSP System - Fixed Architecture DSP Modules - 16 IN x 8 OUT
The XILICA U1608 is a 16-input, 8-output fixed-install digital signal processor from Xilica’s Uno Series. Designed for commercial audio and integrated AV systems, it combines app-configured DSP, high-quality analogue I/O and Ethernet control in a compact 1U rack chassis.
The U1608 provides 16 balanced mic/line inputs with selectable 48V phantom power and 8 balanced line outputs. Audio is processed at 48kHz using 24-bit conversion with a 40-bit floating-point DSP engine, making it suitable for routing, mixing, EQ, dynamics, delay, zoning, room combining and loudspeaker processing.
