SuperNexus Expansion - additional I / O inc. HMA Optocore (A20OPTO)
Sound Devices A20-Opto - SuperNexus Expansion
Designed for high-channel-count, live-sound applications, the Sound Devices Astral Opto serves as a compact, 1 RU screw-on expansion box for the Astal ARX32, effectively addressing the need for increased connectivity in high-demand scenarios. Its primary addition is Optocore support, enabling seamless integration with an Optocore network to provide native audio connectivity to a DiGiCo mixing console.
Supplementing the Optocore connectivity, the Astral Opto offers essential redundancy through a full set of analog and AES72 digital audio outputs, two extra MADI outputs, 16 flexible GPIO I/O, and fully redundant AC mains, ensuring robust and reliable performance for complex live-sound productions requiring numerous channels.
