Symetrix 80-0115 Prism 8x8 Dante

Product Overview

The Symetrix Prism 8x8 Dante (SKU: 80-0115) is a 1U rack-mount fixed-architecture DSP processor providing 8 balanced analog inputs, 8 balanced analog outputs, and onboard 64x64 Dante network audio. It is the mid-size entry point in the Prism family and suits conference rooms, small to medium houses of worship, commercial sound systems, and multi-zone installations where 8 analog channels in each direction meet the routing requirements. All processing runs at 40-bit floating point, 48 kHz, in Symetrix Composer with no licensing cost.

Product Description

The Prism 8x8 Dante provides 8 balanced mic/line inputs with per-channel coarse gain, fine trim, and phantom power, and 8 balanced analog outputs with fine trim. Audio conversion is 24-bit, 48 kHz with total A/D/A latency of 0.88 ms. The 64x64 Dante interface (AES67 compatible) connects the Prism 8x8 to Symetrix xIO wall plate endpoints, Dante-enabled amplifiers, and other networked audio devices over standard IP infrastructure. The Prism 8x8 is a clean specification for projects with defined 8-channel I/O requirements: no expansion slots to configure, no card ordering required, and full compatibility in a Symetrix Composer site file alongside other Prism models, Radius NX, EDGE, and Server D100.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Prism 8x8 Dante (80-0115) and the non-Dante (80-0201)?

The 80-0115 includes 64x64 onboard Dante. The 80-0201 has the same 8x8 analog I/O without Dante networking.

Does the Prism 8x8 support AEC?

No. For AEC-capable conferencing, use the Radius NX (with optional AEC coprocessor) or the EDGE with the 4-Channel AEC Input Card.
