Flexible Architecture, Scalable Design

MAVEN.A is built around a modular architecture that adapts to the requirements of each application.

In a compact 1U frame, it delivers up to 400 × 402 audio channels, scalable processing, and flexible I/O configuration. 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

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

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

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.

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.

Signal processing includes:

  • Filtering and dynamics control
  • Delay and routing structures
  • Matrix mixing and summing
  • Automated gain and grouping tools

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.

MAVEN.A Essentials

Choosing the right edition

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.

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.

  • 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.

It is a platform designed to evolve with your workflow.

MAVEN.A Ultimate

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.

FAQs

  • 1x A Slots, 2x C Slots and 2x MADI SFP slots, choose custom combinations to fit any workflow.

  • Yes. Redundant power supplies and network options are available, helping ensure uninterrupted operation in mission-critical setups.

  • Yes. MAVEN.A is designed to scale. Its modular architecture allows you to expand or adapt I/O as your requirements evolve.

  • Configuration is handled via an intuitive web interface or dedicated control software, giving you full access to routing, monitoring, and system settings. Use Globcon software, onboard operation, or integrate with third-party protocols like Ember+, OSC, and JSON-API.

  • Absolutely. MAVEN.A is well suited to live production, offering robust hardware, flexible routing, and redundancy features that engineers can rely on in high-pressure environments.

Demo

See how it fits, before you commit.

We believe professional audio equipment should be experienced, not just specified. That's why we offer field tests on selected products, real gear, in your hands, not a spec sheet or a demo video.

Delivered to you. You run it your way, integrate it into your current system, put it through whatever you'd normally put it through. A week later, pack it up, and send it back.
