Description

Overview

The Macsys PAS-NAPCU is a professional 8×8 Network Audio Processing Controller Unit powered by the ADI SHARC 21489 40-bit floating-point DSP running up to 450 MHz. Engineered for conference rooms, halls, auditoriums, and administrative centers, it ensures precise, low-latency digital audio processing.

Equipped with a built-in USB sound card (1×1), the PAS-NAPCU supports music playback, recording, and seamless software video conferencing. Its flexible processing modules and advanced algorithms including AEC, AFC, ANS, AGC, ANC, Ducker, AMC, and Gate Mixer—enable optimized system performance. A 12-band British parametric EQ with multiple filter options ensures fine-tuned sound shaping.

With 8 analog inputs and 8 outputs, <3 ms latency, and centralized control for unified power, signal, and environment management, the PAS-NAPCU offers a robust and scalable solution for modern audio environments.
