Adamson Debuts Adamson Fletcher Machine Rendering Processor
Adamson Fletcher Machine
Adamson Systems Engineering has announced that they are diving into the realm of 'immersive'
audio
with the introduction of The Adamson Fletcher Machine, an audio rendering processor that
offers
incredibly simple operation with highly efficient spatialization tools.
An entirely new development in object-based mixing, the Adamson Fletcher Machine utilizes amplitude
and time localization, so objects are clearly perceived at their intended position, offering the
listener a more direct connection with the music. The rendered signals that are sent to the
loudspeakers are calculated from the objects point of view, ensuring the best spatial coherence for
most listening positions.
The Stage Model is a 3U 19†rack-mount, capable of controlling either 64 or 128 inputs and outputs
with the compact Traveller Model being able to handle either 32 or 64 inputs, paired with 32
outputs.
Each of these are available with hardware configurations operating in AVB/MADI or Dante audio at 48
or 96 kHz. All configurations keep latency at an amazingly low 1.33 ms.
The easy-to-use user interface is based on the digital mixing desk approach and includes a complete
set of mixing tools including EQ and compression for each object, up to 4 auxiliary sends and up to
8 VCAs, loudspeaker positioning in 3 dimensions, as well as a unique, high-quality integrated reverb
with a vast amount of control.
The Adamson Fletcher Machine can receive OSC and MIDI messages so it can also be controlled using
external devices. As well, it can be easily interfaced with tracking systems to accurately track
object movements. The remote operation software is available for either Mac or Windows operating
systems.
