Allen & Heath PRIME IN
For those looking to get the highest levels of audio performance from their dLive, Avantis or SQ, we’ve created PRIME, two new modules for use with DX32 expanders.
The PRIME Input Module is a completely new Allen & Heath preamp design at the leading-edge of audio tech.
Using the very latest converter technology and ultra-linear components combined with meticulous design, the PRIME Input module lets you exploit the full potential of our 96kHz XCVI FPGA core, delivering next-level audio quality for critical live, broadcast and studio applications.
Available as 8-channel cards for mounting directly into a DX32, you can create the configuration you require, whether it’s for a handful of critical ‘money’ channels, or a whole orchestra section.
What makes it so good? Using years of experience in combination with ultramodern technology, we believe we’ve redefined transparency, slashing THD and vastly improving noise performance, while ensuring wickedly fast slew-rates for incredible transient response.
PRIME Input technology
With an ultra-flat frequency response from 1Hz all the way up to 40kHz, and an incredibly fast slew rate, PRIME delivers detailed and articulate audio to the mix engine at the highest possible resolution with breath-taking transient response, and full range linearity.
While most preamps are based on AC coupled stages, PRIME has a DC coupled gain stage which eliminates the LF distortion typical of AC coupling, vastly improving low frequency linearity and phase response. This unique design calls for painstaking component choice and layout in addition to intensive per channel component trimming during commissioning.
