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 1664 × 1668 audio channels, PRODIGY.MX gives you the freedom to route anything, anywhere. Whether you’re working in broadcast, live production, or installation, every signal is handled with clarity, stability, and intent.

This isn’t about capacity for the sake of numbers, it’s about removing limits.

One platform. Every format.

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

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

No friction. No translation headaches. Just audio, flowing.

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
  • With 6x A Slots and 2x B 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

From gain control and filtering to delay, dynamics, and automated mixing, PRODIGY.MX gives you powerful tools exactly where you need them.

Whether you’re shaping a mix or managing complex signal flows, everything is accessible, precise, and ready in real time.

Intelligent signal management

Beyond routing, PRODIGY.MX 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 touchscreen operation, or integrate with third-party protocols like Ember+, OSC, SNMP, or JSON-API.

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

Reliability built in

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

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

Monitoring, without compromise

PRODIGY.MX 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 capabilities over time—DSP features, system scale, and more without replacing your hardware.

Future-ready by design.

Designed for real-world workflows

PRODIGY.MX 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.MX is built to integrate effortlessly into complex environments.

Build it once. Shape it endlessly.

PRODIGY.MX Essentials

The Essentials edition provides the complete PRODIGY.MX hardware platform with a carefully defined, highly capable feature set that already covers a wide range of demanding applications in broadcast, live production, and installed systems.

From day one, Essentials includes:

  • Full 1664 x 1668 high-density routing and conversion matrix
  • Modular support for all major audio formats (Dante, RAVENNA/AES67, AVB/MILAN, SoundGrid, MADI)
  • Advanced redundancy systems including Input Managers and EARS™ failover protection
  • Flexible DSP environment with Flex Channels, EQ, dynamics, delay, and summing capabilities
  • 64 x 64 matrix mixer and 64 summing buses
  • Centralised control via globcon with optional third-party integration

Designed as a scalable platform, Essentials allows functionality to expand through clearly structured software licences and optional feature sets. This approach ensures systems can be precisely tailored enabling efficiency, clarity, and cost control without compromising core performance.

It is a platform that delivers everything needed to build powerful systems, while leaving space for future expansion as requirements evolve.

PRODIGY.MX Unlimited

The Unlimited edition represents the PRODIGY.MX in its most complete configuration, where every processing, control, and expansion option is activated from the outset.

Unlimited Includes:

  • All Essentials features fully enabled
  • Complete DSP and processing feature set unlocked
  • Full access to all current and future software options and licences
  • Maximum system flexibility without additional activation steps
  • Immediate readiness for complex, high-density, mission-critical workflows

Unlimited is designed for environments where maximum capability is required from day one, including large-scale broadcast infrastructures, touring systems, and permanent installations where system scope is known and fixed at a high level.

It delivers the PRODIGY.MX platform in its most open and unrestricted form.

Choosing the right configuration

Both editions share the same hardware, I/O flexibility, redundancy architecture, and audio performance. The distinction is simply how the platform is activated and scaled.

Which audio formats are supported?

The platform supports a comprehensive range of formats, including RAVENNA/AES67, Dante, SoundGrid, AVB/MILAN, MADI, and USB. Multiple formats can be used simultaneously, allowing seamless integration across hybrid systems.

How is the system controlled?

Control is handled via globcon software, alongside a front-panel touch display for local access. Integration with third-party systems is supported through protocols such as Ember+, OSC, SNMP, and JSON API. 

What redundancy features are available?

PRODIGY.MX includes advanced redundancy mechanisms such as Input Managers for automatic source switching and EARS™ (Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching) for seamless failover between signal paths.

Is the PRODIGY.MX also suitable for broadcast and audio-over-IP systems?
