In-depth

Highest quality industry standard audio control has never been more affordable. AERO.10 is a fully-featured audio processor supporting up to ten channels of audio and featuring a processing engine identical to those in the AERO.100/1000/2000 products. Tools such as loudness and dynamic range control, upmixing, downmixing, plus ITU and EBU compliant loudness metering and logging makes the AERO.10 an extremely powerful solution for nearly any application at an extremely low cost.

To this, the AERO.10 adds a simple LCD front panel GUI and stereo analog I/O. The headphone output is useful for checking audio and adjust processing and has been designed to provide plenty of level even for difficult loads or quiet sources.

New with AERO.10 is the addition of stereo analog inputs and outputs which serve to support facilities amidst transition from analog to digital as well as interface with any analog device or signal path.

Comprehensive TCP/IP remote provides control over all system settings and processing parameters plus extensive metering of loudness. System status reports physical I/O details along with system, power supply and environmental health. The remote application also delivers remote audio, up to 5.1 channels, so the user can audition signal quality anywhere link bandwidth permits. An HTTP server is also included for simple get/set control of all parameters and retrieval of status and logging information. Constantly active logging captures 7.5 day rolling weekly reports as well as specific time slots controlled by start/stop. Loudness with multiple integration times as well as True Peak measurements are captured and available for download.

Designed and built in the USA, the lightweight and rugged single rack-unit AERO.10 is a solid investment in performance and flexibility. Though all current features are standard, future options can be enabled by simply entering a factory provided key. Failover bypass relays on all I/O maintain signal continuity and dual auto-ranging power supplies enable redundancy and worldwide compatibility
