Rio Bravo

The Rio Bravo is a two rack unit, ultra-dense audio router and control device.

Description

The Rio Bravo is a two rack unit, high density audio DSP routing engine.  Equally comfortable in a broadcast, transmission, conference or live sound environments, the Rio Bravo provides precise audio processing chains for input and outputs, plug and play, card defined hardware offering a physical mixture of up to 96 total analog and AES3 inputs, outputs and mic preamp card.  

Audio over IP is standard with Dante/AES67/ST2110.  

RioBravo Expansion Options

The RioBravo provides 16 resident (on board) outputs, half analog and half digital intended to drive console related features such as meters and headphones. These can also be used for any other application without a console. 

The RioBravo also provides six option module slots for expansion, each slot with the capacity of 16 channels (8 stereo) and can be fitted with input or output modules. The following expansion modules are available in any combination:

  • RBMI-8: Adds 8 Microphone Inputs
  • RBAI-16: Adds 8 Line Level Stereo Inputs
  • RBAO-16: Adds 8 Line Level Stereo Outputs 
  • RBDI-16: Adds 8 AES Stereo Inputs
  • RBDO-16: Adds 8 AES Stereo Outputs
