This takes the total number of available DSP input channels from 64 to 96 on the Brio 36, and from 48 to 64 on the Brio 12.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">All audio channels within a Calrec Brio console can operate in Mono, Stereo or 5.1. Each channel, known as a \u2018leg\u2019, occupies one of the available inputs to the on-board DSP. Within a Calrec Brio, Input legs are then assigned to faders, creating a channel path. Features within the channel path, such as Direct Out and Auto Mix Minus, also benefit from the DSP upgrade. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A standard Calrec Brio 36 can mix and process up to 64 legs. With the new upgrade applied, Brio users will have access to an additional 32 DSP inputs (and an additional 16 on the Brio 12 console). A higher number of DSP legs is especially useful when working with stereo or 5.1 paths, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">so this upgrade will be a welcome addition for Brio users working with a large number of audio channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u201cCalrec\u2019s range of Brio consoles has proved to be very popular,\u201d explains Dave Letson, Calrec Audio\u2019s VP of Sales. \u201cWith its small form factor, broadcast-focused feature set and affordable price point, Brio is incredibly versatile and the consoles are now suitable for applications requiring a larger channel count.
