JBL - INTONATO 24 - Studio processor for 24 monitoring speakers
The JBL Intonato 24 Monitor Management Adjustment System offers easy setup, automated calibration and complete control of professional monitoring systems.
Housed in a 2U rackmount enclosure, Intonato 24 calibrates and precisely controls up to 24 speakers configured as stereo, surround, or immersive audio systems.
You can instantly create and recall personalized routing of up to 24 analog, digital, and network audio sources.
Included software and an optional desktop controller put powerful system monitoring functions at your fingertips. Intonato 24 offers the benefits of a precisely calibrated system and takes control room monitoring to the next level. Intonato, from the Latin verb Intonare which means "granted", "adapted", "granted", describes a primary attribute of all speakers in the ideal monitoring environment of the control room.
While the approach to control room monitoring has remained consistent over the years, the audio signal path and production workflow have evolved tremendously. Now more than ever, the industry is releasing pre-dated hardware: surround rooms are gearing up for immersive sound, and stereo rooms are turning to surround. The smaller rooms take care of the final mixes. And today's listening environments have changed as well, with work performed in a wide variety of spaces not specifically designed for production. Since hardware and workspace limitations are the norm, the industry needs an innovative approach that can improve the state of surveillance in music production, post-production and performance rooms. diffusion.
JBL set out to develop a complete next-generation system that takes control room surveillance to the next level, allowing content creators to produce consistently superior output regardless of the spaces they are in or the formats they are in. are welcome to provide. Responding to the call for greater dynamic range, neutral response in the room and detailed imaging, JBL has introduced the new 7 Series Master Reference Monitors, in both powered and installed models. And the JBL Intonato 24 was developed as the heart of this next-generation surveillance system, designed for seamless integration with the JBL 7 series or the myriad of other professional monitors available today.
A complete system
The Intonato 24 partners with JBL 7-Series studio monitors to create the first comprehensive monitoring system designed for immersive audio production in control rooms of any size. While Intonato was designed as the hub for the newly installed JBL 7 series reference monitor system, the unit can be used with any passive or amplified speaker. In addition, the HARMAN BLU Link network protocol allows the Intonato 24 to be digitally networked with Crown power amplifiers and a wide assortment of system components.
Automated speaker calibration for control accuracy
Room acoustics can play an important role in what you hear in the mixing position. Regardless of the make and model of loudspeakers, the geometry and construction of the room can create acoustic anomalies that mislead even the most talented mixers. Let's face it, in those annoying low frequency areas, the room is in control.
The Intonato 24 features an innovative automated speaker calibration process that 'tunes' each speaker to compensate for speaker placement and room acoustics, providing a neutral response to the mix position, even in workspaces. less than ideal. With an included calibration microphone, the Intonato 24 automatically measures and adjusts each speaker in the system, tackling room-related low frequency issues and accurately matching level and 'time of flight'. ”From each speaker to the mix position. The result is a finely tuned system that takes the guesswork out of mixing. This sophisticated tuning capability alone makes the Intonato 24 a compelling upgrade to any mixing setup.
Immersive Ready: the largest number of I / Os in its class
The Intonato 24 comes standard with the most I / O in its class and is compatible with almost all monitoring formats, including stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and the new immersive formats. With the power to manage surveillance systems up to 24 speakers, Intonato 24 enables immersive surveillance in existing control rooms. The Intonato 24 features internal routing and a mixer to provide unprecedented control flexibility. Any combination of up to 24 analog and digital sources can be patched, routed and selectively monitored through any of the connected speaker or headphone systems. You can also create and store custom downmix configurations.
Sophisticated subwoofer integration
With Intonato 24, multiple subwoofers can be connected, tuned, balanced and integrated into your monitoring systems. Up to 4 subwoofers can be assigned as “Bass Management” subwoofers with selectable crossover parameters, and the same or different subwoofers can be used to reproduce the LFE (low frequency effects) channel of a soundtrack.
