Calrec’s ImPulse1 IP audio processing and routing engine will be making its debut at IBC 2023. Designed as a powerful and cost-effective ST2110 solution for single console scenarios, the ImPulse1 is a compact 1U solution with an optional second core for redundancy and a new 128-input channel digital signal processing (DSP) pack offering entry-level pricing.

The UK-based Calrec has supported the broadcast industry in many forms, including achieving efficiency with remote broadcasting, saving money with virtualised production, and a range of options with proprietary systems like Hydra2, and IP connectivity with ImPulse and ImPulse1.

These include Calrec’s flexible native IP Argo Q and Argo S configurable control surfaces, Type R which can adapt to a variety of requirements including virtualised workflows, the compact plug-and-play Brio, as well as the Apollo and Artemis consoles.

With the introduction of ImPulse1, Calrec is offering a range of options to suit any size installation. It works with Argo Q and Argo S control surfaces, and/or Calrec Assist, a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) suited to remote working, multi operator and/or headless operation. Cores with smaller DSP licenses can also be offered without hardware redundancy.

ImPulse1 is designed for small to medium single mixer applications and is offered with an all-new DSP license of 128 input channels without compromising its ST2110 capability. With a small overall form-factor, it is attractive for compact installation sites, such as outside broadcast and fly pack applications, where space is at a premium.

Also on display at booth 8.D60 will be Calrec’s Argo audio mixing control platform, alongside the Argo Q and Argo S. Calrec’s Argo offers a new approach to audio mixing, with a flexible control philosophy that breaks the traditional geographic tie lines between processing and control. Argo is fully modular with interchangeable hardware panels and uses Calrec’s time-served Assist UI at its core.
