Now the company is working in collaboration with Skywalker Sound, a division of Lucasfilm and one of the largest, full-service audio post-production companies, to introduce new audio toolsets in 2020, as part of its PixelStrings pay-as-you-go Platform as a Service (PaaS).

Symetrix, the manufacturer of digital audio products for the installed sound market, announced its Radius NX 4x4 and Radius NX 12x8 1U rack-mount audio signal processors.

All that is needed for large networked audio fixed installations, including optional card expansions and optional AEC coprocessors for up to 16 channels of wide-band acoustic echo cancelling.
