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.

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 B Slots and 8x C Slots, choose custom combinations to fit any workflow

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

Control, your way

A system this flexible needs control to match.

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

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

Reliability built in

With intelligent redundancy management and automatic failover, PRODIGY.MC ensures uninterrupted operation every time.

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

Monitoring, without compromise

PRODIGY.MC 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 a focused setup. Expand as needed.

PRODIGY.MC integrates seamlessly into larger PRODIGY systems, growing alongside your infrastructure without introducing complexity.

A control surface that evolves with the system it manages.

Designed for real-world workflows

PRODIGY.MC 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 touring rigs and permanent installations, PRODIGY.MC is built to integrate effortlessly into complex environments.

Build it once. Shape it endlessly.

PRODIGY.MC Essentials

The Essentials edition provides the full PRODIGY.MC hardware platform with a carefully balanced feature set that already covers a wide range of professional applications in live sound, broadcast contribution, and system integration.

From day one, Essentials includes:

  • Full modular audio networking (Dante, RAVENNA/AES67, AVB/MILAN, SoundGrid, MADI)
  • High-density routing and flexible signal conversion
  • Advanced redundancy handling with Input Managers and EARS™ failover
  • Integrated DSP core with EQ, dynamics, delay, and summing tools
  • Central control via globcon and automation-ready architecture
  • Scalable feature expansion through structured licensing

Essentials is designed as a lean, expandable system, offering exactly the tools required to build efficient workflows while maintaining a clear path for future growth. It is ideal for operators who value precision in system design and the ability to scale functionality as projects evolve.

PRODIGY.MC Ultimate

The Ultimate edition unlocks the PRODIGY.MC platform in its most complete configuration, enabling all processing capabilities and feature sets from the very beginning.

Ultimate includes:

  • Full DSP and feature set unlocked across the platform
  • Maximum routing and processing flexibility enabled by default
  • Complete access to all software options and future expansions
  • No staged licensing or incremental activation requirements
  • Immediate readiness for complex, high-density audio environments

Ultimate is designed for applications where system scope is defined at a high level from day one, including touring production, broadcast facilities, and fixed installations requiring full capability without configuration constraints.

It delivers the PRODIGY.MC as a fully realised processing and routing engine, ready for immediate deployment at scale.

Choosing the right configuration

Both editions share identical hardware, audio performance, and system architecture. The difference lies purely in how capability is activated.

FAQ

How many slots does PRODIGY.MC support?

1x A Slots, 2x B Slots and 8x C Slots, choose custom combinations to fit any workflow.

How many audio channels does the PRODIGY.MC support?

The system supports up to 320 inputs and 324 outputs, managed through a channel-based routing matrix. This makes it suitable for medium to large-scale audio systems requiring high channel density.

How does the PRODIGY.MC handle sample rate conversion?

The system includes FastSRC™ low-latency sample rate conversion, allowing reliable connection between unsynchronised digital sources across MADI and network audio inputs. 

What control and monitoring options are available?

PRODIGY.MC is controlled via globcon software, a browser-based interface, or the onboard touchscreen display. It also supports remote control protocols such as OSC, MIDI, SNMP, and JSON API, enabling integration into larger control systems. 

What redundancy features does the PRODIGY.MC offer?

The system includes advanced redundancy options such as:

  • Dual power supplies (phase-redundant)
  • Network redundancy (e.g. ST 2022-7 for RAVENNA)
  • EARS™ automatic failover switching
  • Redundant signal paths via Input Managers

These features ensure reliable operation in mission-critical environments.

Is the PRODIGY.MC scalable for future systems?

Yes. Its modular hardware and license-based feature model allow users to expand I/O, add protocols, and unlock additional functionality over time, making it a future-proof solution for evolving audio infrastructures. 

What’s the difference between PRODIGY.MP, MC and MX?

The three systems share the same core philosophy, modular, multi format audio conversion and routing—but are designed for different scales and roles:

  • PRODIGY.MP → Processing-focused system with integrated DSP
  • PRODIGY.MC → Compact modular converter and router
  • PRODIGY.MX → Large-scale audio matrix for high channel counts
