Calrec Argo M-24F Broadcast mikser
Built on the same multi-award-winning technology that powers Calrec’s well-established Argo platform, Argo M delivers the exact same operational familiarity in an ultra-compact 24- or 36-fader footprint for small to medium applications.
Boasting integrated DSP processing and built-in analogue and digital audio I/O and GPIO, Argo M is a pure plug-and-play console that requires no networking or PTP sync to operate. Natively ST2110, Argo M adopts the same “everything anywhere” approach as the rest of the Argo range, giving more broadcasters access to Argo’s award-winning IP technology.
The ability to add external ImPulse and ImPulse1 processing cores to expand processing capacity and provide additional redundancy enables customers to expand. Customers can also connect to an existing ImPulse core alongside other Argo surfaces to quickly create multi-console environments, whether that processing core is local, remote, or in the cloud.
This simple connectivity gives Argo M immediate access to a variety of workflows. Cores and surfaces can be geographically diverse to enable remote and distributed production, with interoperable networking and stage-box interfacing over ST2110. All monitoring and metering tools are front and centre without the need for any ancillary equipment.
Argo M | The surface
Argo M comes in two space-saving sizes and uses the same flexible touchscreen panels as the Argo Q and Argo S. With everything in arms reach, Argo M’ s compact and configurable surface provides immediate access to every parameter, control and setting with two fully featured and assignable rotary controls assigned to every single input.
Fader panel
Love faders? Argo M comes out of the box with 24 or 36, all with 12 dual layers and total flexibility of layout. Total control over every single path you can throw at it.
TFT meter panel
With full and flexible metering across the entire surface, Argo M’s optically bonded HD TFTs also deliver full control over I/O, EQ, Dynamics, Pan, Delay and more.
Touchscreen panel
Swipe, touch, tap, tweak and drag your way to full control over I/O, EQ, Dynamics, Pan, Delay and more. Argo’s optically bonded GUI provides fast visual access to all your settings.
Soft control panel
Get a richer user experience with hardware panels that allow users to define functions and apply templates to deliver intuitive control whatever the production demands.
Argo M | Define your DSP
With a choice of DSP packs, Argo M can operate totally independently with its own internal DSP, but it can also connect to an existing ImPulse core alongside other Argo surfaces to create multi-console environments. It can also link to external ImPulse, ImPulse1 or ImPulse V processing cores to expand processing capacity.
Argo M is available with 304 or 356 internal DSP processing paths, while external ImPulse and ImPulse1 processing cores can expand processing capacity to 432 DSP paths as well as provide additional reliability. Connectivity to ImPulseV also gives Argo M access to cloud-based DSP packs, with scalable and secure cloud-native DSP processing core and control software on demand.
