Calrec has expanded its acclaimed family of self-contained Argo M control surfaces with the launch of the Argo M 48-fader console.
Making its global debut at IBC 2025 – and taking home TVBEurope’s Best of Show Award – the Argo M 48 lineup now features 24-, 36- and 48-fader versions, with the new model providing broadcasters with more tactile control while maintaining the compact, space-saving design that defines the Argo platform.
Built for modern IP broadcast environments, Argo M combines Calrec’s signature reliability and audio quality with flexible, network-ready connectivity.
With up to 356 channels of internal DSP, built-in analogue and digital audio I/O, GPIO, three modular I/O expansion slots, and a MADI I/O port via SFP, Argo M is fully equipped straight out of the box. It offers plug-and-play ST2110 and cloud integration, allowing fast deployment in flypacks, mobile trucks, or multi-console networked studios.
The new 48-fader model answers growing demand for expanded control in a portable footprint.
“In some cases bigger really is better,” says Henry Goodman, Calrec’s Director of Product Management. “We’ve had strong demand for more faders in a plug-and-play console like Argo M – it’s ideal for agile environments and can be easily added to a media network.”
Alongside the Argo M launch, Calrec demonstrated its latest software innovations including True Control 2.0 – a powerful workflow solution that enables seamless remote and distributed production.
True Control 2.0 allows operators to control any Calrec system from any location, managing up to five consoles or DSP cores simultaneously with full access to EQ, dynamics, routing, delay, and more. Compatible across Argo M, Argo Q, Argo S, Type R, and Calrec’s ImPulse and ImPulseV cores, it provides unmatched flexibility and scalability for evolving broadcast workflows.
Together, the expanded Argo M family and True Control 2.0 reinforce Calrec’s commitment to delivering innovative, future-ready audio solutions that empower broadcasters to work faster, smarter, and more creatively. The new 48-fader Argo M offers a perfect blend of compact design, advanced IP connectivity, and tactile control – ensuring premium performance across every production scale.
