Details
Controls: 5-inch touch TFT front-panel control; browser-based control panel (computer/phone/tablet) over Gigabit Ethernet; quad-core ARM CPU module
I/O: Analog Line In/Out and Mic/Line modules (8ch each, DB-25 TASCAM pinout); Digital host modules: Pro Tools HDX (64 I/O via 2x DigiLink Mini), Dante (64x64 via 2x Gigabit Ethernet), AES3 (8ch DB-25, transformer coupled), MADI (up to 64x64 @48kHz via 4 SFP per card); sync via XLR DARS/AES11, BNC Wordclock/Blackburst/10MHz
Notable use: Studio Mozart, SSGY Studio, Finnish National Opera and Ballet, Crash Symphony Productions, United Music Foundation
Notes: Flagship modular converter, positioned as successor/expansion of the Dream ADA-8XR lineage; supports Dolby Atmos 128-channel configs in a single 2U chassis. Every I/O module and the built-in Routing Module has dedicated per-channel DSP (calibration/trim, MS processing, HPF, Over-Killer soft limit, Verifile tag insert/check). Pro Tools emulation modes for Avid HD I/O 16x16 Analog/Digital. Price ($6,000) is a street price for the base/empty chassis only found via search — full configurations with I/O and host cards cost significantly more (~$1,000/host card, ~$2,400/16-slot analog fill per search data); NOT an official Prism MSRP, FLAG chassis-only basis. Country of manufacture inferred United Kingdom (Prism Sound HQ/manufacturing base, per company info) though not explicitly stated on this product page.
