The Intelix Audisey Athena combines the performance of a true matrix mixer with the flexibility and digital signal processing of a digital amplifier--all in a single, intuitive package.

Available in 8 inputs by 8 outputs or 16 inputs by 16 outputs, the Athena features built-in audio preamplification, input signal processing, true matrix mixing, output signal processing, and either eight or sixteen channels of independent power amplification. The Athena provides users with up to 128 system presets, 64 input DSP presets per channel, and 64 output DSP presets per channel via the front panel, USB, serial, or over the internet. Real-time event scheduling software provides additional versatility.

The Audisey Athena's amplifier provides a pure digital audio path and is 93% heat efficient. Complete short-circuit, thermal, and over-current automatic fault recovery ensure piece of mind.

Mix, process, amplify and control in a single chassis. Design with Intelix and Design with Intelligence.

Features:

Mix, process, amplify, and control in a single chassis. The Audisey Athena combines a true matrix mixer, audio preamplfier, DSP processor, and multi-channel amplifier in a single 3RU chassis. The Athena eliminates the need to wire and program several independent boxes.

Extensive control options. The Audisey Athena provides a myriad of user control options and configurations:

a front panel LCD and toggle wheel allow users to adjust volume and trigger presets

an ethernet provides software control from anywhere with an Internet connection

dual serial connectors provide computer and serial device connectivity

a front panel USB connector provides easy computer software control

a PCMCIA card slot provides optional logic control with the addition of an Intelix Logic I/O Card

AMX, Crestron, and Cue compatible 

Dual SPDIF connectors. The Audisey Athena features two SPDIF inputs and two SPDIF outputs for digital applications. 

Battery backup. All response curves, presets, and current audio matrix values are stored internally in battery-backed nonvolatile RAM. Even in the event of a power failure, the Athena saves its settings, ramping all levels back to their previous values five seconds after power restoration.

Input and output DSP. The Audisey Athena provides both input and output digital signal processing (DSP), including:

input preamplification

input gain control

input 3-band parametric EQ

output high and low shelf tone control

output 5-band parametric EQ

output channel volume

time delay

compressor/limiter

Simultaneous line-level and amplified outputs. The Audisey Athena features paralleled line-level monitor outputs and amplified speaker outputs, allowing audio to be sent to both speakers and line-level devices simultaneously. Each amplifier output features software selectable amplification up to 100 watts per channel (400 watts total in the Athena-8, 800 watts total in the Athena-16). For 25 or 70 volt systems, the Audisey 70V-AM module provides one-step transformer conversion. 

Software. Free Audisey Athena Designer Software allows you to monitor, control, and troubleshoot an entire Athena system from any remote location with an internet connection. Included real-time event scheduling software allows you to program repetitive or unique audio activities in a simple platform closely resembling standard PDA scheduling software. 

Pre-programmed remote controls. Intelix Remote Control Packs are complete, pre-programmed remote control systems including wiring accessories, IR to serial control modules, and push-button remote controls. Designed for the Intelix Audisey Athena matrix mixer/amplifier, Intelix Remote Control Packs feature visual and auditory feedback, multiple label options, and password protection. 

Security. To ensure only legitimate users connect to and control the Audisey Athena matrix mixer/amplifier, Athena Designer Software includes an authorized client list providing internal firewall protection from unauthorized ethernet connections.
