Effects processing and GEQs
The PRO1 contains six effects processors and eight mono Klark Teknik (KT) GEQs as
standard. However, each effect slot can be sacrificed to gain an additional four GEQ
effects.
The effects processors (six maximum) can be freely chosen from the following:
• Stereo delay
• Stereo reverb (Klark Teknik DN780)
• Stereo flanger
• Stereo phaser
• Stereo graphic EQ
• Pitch shifter
• Square ONE Dynamics
• Stereo 3-band compressor
• Chamber reverb
• Hall reverb
• Plate reverb
• Vintage room reverb
• Ambience reverb
• Dual stereo chorus
• Dynamic EQ
• Dual stereo delay
• Matrix mixer
Up to 28 mono KT GEQs can be patched into any output. There are many patching
options for the effects processors. They can be patched to any source or destination
within the system and you can even patch directly to and from an effect externally.
Surround capabilities
Theatres and broadcast have differing requirements for surround, and both are catered
for in the PRO1.
Conventional stereo and SIS™ panning is assignable on a channel by channel basis
(channel one can be in stereo while channel two can be in SIS™), as follows:
• Stereo left–right routing to master buses.
• SIS™ left–right–centre routing to master buses.
Three additional surround modes operate as follows:
• Quad (left, right, LS and RS).
• Surround (left, centre, right surround).
• 5.1 surround (left, centre, right, subwoofer (LCRS), LS and RS).

Network

The PRO1's digital audio network utilises the physical connectivity of Ethernet
(etherCON® connectors and Cat 5e/Cat 6 cable), but replaces its data protocol with
AES50 protocol (implemented as SuperMAC) and the HyperMAC high capacity system,
which are more suited to high quality, low latency audio distribution. The use of the
