Completing the Argo M range and the Argo family, Calrec is expanding its family of future-ready self-contained control surfaces with the addition of a 48-fader Argo M console., offering broadcasters an increased fader count whilst retaining its space-saving design.
Argo M combines the power, familiarity and reliability of Calrec’s flagship Argo platform in a streamlined 24-, 36- and new 48-fader footprint with plug-and-play ST2110 and cloud connectivity. With up to 356 channels of internal DSP, Argo M features built-in analogue and digital audio I/O and GPIO, three modular I/O expansion slots, and a Madi I/O port via SFP.
The ability to connect to an ST2110 networked environment and to an existing Calrec ImPulse core alongside other Argo surfaces means it can quickly create multi-console IP environments, while connectivity to ImPulse, ImPulse1 and ImPulseV means additional external DSP paths can be easily added as production demands change.
New v1.4 Argo software introduces enhanced routing strip functionality that enables users to view every fader’s routing simultaneously on the touchscreen and switch rows of physical controls to other strip modes such as EQ, Dyn or Pan. It also enables Argo Q to support two sets of custom wild panels per section.
A new Tiles feature allows fully customisable up-stand meter layouts with thumbnails, while the mix minus workflow has been streamlined, enabling any bus to feed a channel’s mix minus output rather than just the auto-minus. It also adds the ability to select a different output when fader closed to when it’s open and allows users to interrogate the console to access routing information of buses being used for a path’s main output.
