Symetrix 80-0116 Prism 12x12 Dante

Product Overview

The Symetrix Prism 12x12 Dante (SKU: 80-0116) is a 1U rack-mount fixed-architecture DSP processor providing 12 balanced analog inputs, 12 balanced analog outputs, and onboard 64x64 Dante network audio. It occupies the mid-range of the Prism family by I/O count and is a practical choice for medium-sized conference rooms, training rooms, houses of worship, and commercial AV installations where 12 analog channels in each direction cover the routing requirements without requiring a larger chassis. All processing runs at 40-bit floating point, 48 kHz, programmed in the free Symetrix Composer software.

Product Description

The Prism 12x12 Dante delivers 12 balanced mic/line inputs with per-channel coarse gain, fine trim, and phantom power, alongside 12 balanced analog outputs with fine trim. Audio conversion is 24-bit at 48 kHz with a total A/D/A latency of 0.88 ms. The 64x64 Dante interface (AES67 compatible) extends audio routing to Symetrix xIO endpoints and other Dante-enabled devices across standard IP infrastructure. As a fixed-architecture DSP, the Prism 12x12 has no expansion card slots — its I/O is defined at purchase, simplifying the specification process for projects with clear channel count requirements. It is compatible in a single Symetrix Composer site file with all other Symetrix DSP platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Prism 12x12 Dante and the non-Dante version?

The Prism 12x12 Dante (80-0116) includes 64x64 onboard Dante. The Prism 12x12 non-Dante (80-0202) has identical analog I/O without Dante networking.

Does the Prism 12x12 support AEC?

No. The Prism family does not support AEC modules. For conferencing with AEC, use the Radius NX or EDGE with the AEC Input Card.
