The new HOLOPHONIX Ultra platform is simply the most advanced and powerful spatialization processor ever built at the company, and possibly the most powerful available anywhere today. It includes all that our most advanced and challenging users have been asking for, and needing over the past several years.
HOLOPHONIX Ultra introduces a new scalable licensing model that offers a license-based output count from 16 to 512. Beyond 128 outputs, a free-of-charge hardware upgrade would be necessary, making the Ultra processor ready to process up to 512 physical Dante inputs and outputs.
The HOLOPHONIX Audio over IP protocol is Dante-based and can be integrated with a wide range of standard commercial Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) and Dante-enabled devices, providing an additional layer of control. With even better latency and synchronization performance than its HOLOPHONIX 64 predecessor and many more outputs available, the Ultra processor is ready to take on the biggest venues.
The processor is designed to be rack-mounted for the most challenging touring configurations. The HOLOPHONIX teams worked on the sustainability of each piece of the hardware. The rear panel features Neutrik-housed connectors integrated into the aluminum chassis, including two powerCON mains connectors, three etherCON connectors for remote control and Dante connectivity, as well as DisplayPort and USB 3.0 connectors for easy access while servicing. The front panel features a touch screen for quick server monitoring and configuration. The airflow is optimized to withstand all stresses.
Machined in three dimensions from blocks of aluminum in a process that takes over twenty hours, the front panel design of the HOLOPHONIX hardware embodies all the technology embedded and hidden within this unique tool. The HOLOPHONIX processor is housed in a standard 19" rack with a height of 2.5U, featuring a machined and anodized aluminum chassis. Its front panel is three-dimensionally machined from a single block of aluminum, with a style inspired by the aesthetic and technical aspects of audiophile hi-fi product development.
In addition to the network redundancy provided by the Dante configuration, the processors, a key element in the audio chain, are equipped with a redundant power supply module of the highest quality. This provides an extra level of security in the event of a power failure.
The HOLOPHONIX support team is available to assist professionals in solving any problems they may encounter with our products. If necessary, a Service Mode feature can be activated, enabling our support team to remotely access the HOLOPHONIX Ultra processor for control or repair purposes at any time (requires an Internet connection).
