At its core, the DirectOut PRODIGY and Maven are not just audio processors, they are a platform.

A system designed to unify routing, conversion, and DSP, so complexity stays behind the scenes and your workflow stays in focus.

Processing and routing, without compromise

With up to 400 x 402 audio channels, MAVEN.A delivers precise control across complex signal paths.

Whether you’re shaping mixes, managing distributed systems, or handling multiple formats at once, every signal is processed with clarity and intent.

This isn’t about features in isolation, it’s about everything working together.

One platform. Every format.

From Dante to RAVENNA, SoundGrid to AVB/MILAN, MADI to USB, MAVEN.A connects seamlessly across ecosystems.

Different protocols, different clock domains handled transparently with integrated sample rate conversion, so everything behaves as one coherent system.

No friction. No translation layers. Just audio, aligned.

Modular by design

Every system starts with a solid core and evolves from there.

A flexible slot-based architecture lets you configure I/O exactly how you need it:

Network audio
MADI
USB interfaces
Analog AD / DA
Microphone Preamps
AES I/O
With 1x A Slots, 2x C Slots and 2x MADI SFP slots, choose custom combinations to fit any workflow

You don’t adapt to the hardware. The hardware adapts to you.

DSP that works with you

Processing isn’t an add-on, it’s built in.

From gain control and filtering to delay, dynamics, and summing, MAVEN.A gives you the tools to shape and manage audio directly within the signal path.

Whether you’re refining a mix or stabilising a complex system, everything is available in real time.

Intelligent signal management

Beyond routing, MAVEN.A manages signal behaviour across boundaries.

Built-in features include:

Sample rate conversion (bi-directional)
Redundant input handling
Automatic failover switching
Multi-source input management

Control, your way

A system this flexible needs control to match.

Use Globcon software, onboard operation, or integrate with third-party protocols like Ember+, OSC, and JSON-API.

From simple setups to fully automated environments, MAVEN.A fits into your control ecosystem rather than forcing you into a new one.

Reliability built in

With robust internal architecture, redundant power options, and intelligent signal handling, MAVEN.A is designed for uninterrupted operation.

Because stability shouldn’t be a feature. It should be a given.

Monitoring, without compromise

MAVEN.A delivers fast, precise, transparent monitoring across complex environments.

Whether you’re working in broadcast, post-production, or live systems, every signal is accessible, controllable, and exactly where you expect it to be.

This isn’t about adding another layer it’s about clarity at the point of decision and troubleshooting.

Scalable performance

Start with what you need. Expand when you’re ready.

A flexible licensing model allows you to unlock additional DSP capabilities and system functions over time without replacing your hardware.

Future ready by design.

Designed for real world workflows

MAVEN.A isn’t a single purpose device. It’s an infrastructure one that adapts to different roles, different environments, and future demands.

From broadcast control rooms to live production and permanent installations, MAVEN.A integrates seamlessly into demanding environments.

Build it once. Shape it endlessly.

View full details

The MAVEN.A platform is built on a simple but powerful idea: a unified, modular audio engine that adapts to the scale of your workflow. Both Essentials and Ultimate share the same core hardware and architecture, the difference lies in how far that capability is immediately opened to you.

MAVEN.A Essentials

The Essentials edition delivers the full MAVEN.A hardware platform with a carefully structured, scalable feature set. From day one, you have access to the complete routing backbone, high-density audio networking, and the same robust redundancy and I/O flexibility found across the MAVEN range.

At its core, Essentials includes:

Full modular network audio support (Dante, RAVENNA/AES67, AVB/MILAN, SoundGrid)
High-capacity routing matrix (up to ~400 channels)
Enterprise-grade redundancy and sync architecture
A streamlined DSP environment with expansion options

What makes Essentials particularly elegant is its growth-oriented architecture. Processing and advanced DSP features can be expanded through clearly defined software packs, allowing the system to scale precisely with the needs of the project — no excess, no unused capacity, just exactly what is required at each stage.

It is a platform designed to evolve with your workflow.

MAVEN.A Ultimate (Unlimited)

The Ultimate edition represents the MAVEN.A platform in its most complete form, every capability, every DSP module, and every processing layer enabled from the outset.

It includes:

Full DSP suite (mixing, EQ, dynamics, delay, and advanced processing engines)
Maximum routing and matrix capacity unlocked
Complete control ecosystem (OSC, Ember+, SNMP, Automator and more)
All current and future feature sets included

Ultimate removes all modular constrain ts, delivering a system that is immediately ready for the most demanding applications — from large-scale touring and broadcast infrastructures to permanent install environments where maximum flexibility is essential from day one.

It is the MAVEN.A platform in its most expansive and unrestricted expression.

Choosing the right edition

Both editions share the same engineering foundation, same audio integrity, and same reliability standards. The decision simply comes down to workflow philosophy:
