The Sabine Navigator System Processors now include microphone preamp options and blank front-panel models. All units feature a new hardware platform, new front panel design, new remote control software, and more input/output and control choices for even greater flexibility. We didnt change the superior sound quality in fact we enhanced it with the edition of 96 KHz sample rates on the top two models the NAV4802 and the NAV8802. Unlimited DSP The Navigator Series is a complete multi-input/output digital system processor designed for commercial installation and production audio. Navigators use 32-bit (40-bit extended) floating point processors and high performance 24-bit digital converters. All functions operate concurrently and are controlled simultaneously. There is no need to compile any files or settings, and the powerful Analog Devices SHARC processors handle the DSP processing. Best of all, you never run out of resources! All functions work together, so go ahead and set FBX feedback control filters on every input and compressors on every input and output no problem! Navigator blank front panel versions include Sabines new Automatic Mic Mixing function, with independent control of mic priority, attack, release, threshold, and gain on each channel. Combined with the FBX Feedback Exterminator the Navigator will provide more gain before feedback than conventional automatic mic mixers. Better Control As the name implies, the Navigator is all about control. The new Navigator Remote Control software provides a heads-up display of all systems status and fast access to all parameters. This highly intuitive interface allows you to choose from two main views: Matrix or Mixer. The Mixer view is especially useful with the addition of the microphone preamps. If you can run a mixer, you can run this software. Equally powerful is the front panel control for those times when you need full access at the rack position. When integrating the Navigator as part of a larger system, choose USB, RS232, or Ethernet as your connection protocol. Serial and Ethernet-based touch screen control is also possible with all Navigators. The new NAVRC-100 Wall Panel Remote is an attractive 2-gang remote control that is wired to the Navigator for trouble-free remote control. Programmable Menu and Value switches can be assigned to most of the Navigator functions, and the built-in, backlit LCD displays the name of each menu and preset. The Wall Panel Remote makes for a very powerful control system, and allows for multiple control points for multiple Navigators which can be mounted strategically throughout the installation. Superior Audio Quality One of the pioneers in the field of digital signal processing, Sabines research and development into digital filtering technology provides an edge in both sound quality and reliability. The FBX Feedback Exterminator is one of the many innovations originating from the engineers at Sabine. This vigorous development is applied to all DSP functions of the Navigators, including equalization, automatic mixing, routing, crossovers, and gain management. Free firmware and software upgrades are easily done by connecting to Sabines web site. You can always keep your Navigator current with newly developed algorithms and functions as they become available. Flexible save and recall functions and complete system security round out these rugged units. The new Navigators continue the Sabine tradition of simplicity, flexibility, and value. Navigators will improve the sound quality and the adaptability of sound systems for churches, schools, boardrooms, theaters, concert halls, offices, retail outlets, and all levels of touring and production systems.
