CALYPSO is a high-performance audio interface designed for 500 series enclosures. It offers state-of-the-art 8-channel AD/DA conversion and seamlessly integrates with the ng500 chassis, like the TITAN, via the I.A.C. connector. In addition to its easy integration with ng500 chassis, it can also be used in standard 500 series enclosures through two DB25 connectors.

Main Features:

  • 24-bit conversion for high-resolution audio.
  • Supported sample rates: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz (SMUX), 96kHz (SMUX).
  • Ultra-low jitter clock for precise timing and reduced noise.
  • Word clock IN/OUT for synchronization with external devices.
  • Full integration with _TITAN via IAC connector (ADAT cables required to route all signals to and from the chassis).
  • Two DB25 connectors for integration with any 500 series chassis.
  • Two converter reference levels: +8dBu/-10dBV.
  • LCD screen with channel metering for easy monitoring.
  • Digital recall can be achieved by connecting the unit directly via the front panel mini USB socket or through the TITAN chassis.
  • Free software and firmware upgrades.

Integration with I.A.C.

The Internal Audio Connector (IAC) inside the TITAN chassis enables an almost wire-free setup, ensuring a clean and efficient configuration.

Standard 500 Chassis Support

CALYPSO is compatible with standard 500 series enclosures, utilising the front panel DB-25 connectors to route audio signals to and from the chassis. These DB-25 connectors can also be used to route audio signals to and from outboard gear.

Convenient Plug-in for I.A.C. Recall and More

Like all ng500 units, CALYPSO integrates with VST2/VST3/AAX/AU plug-ins. When used with the TITAN, it allows management of the I.A.C. connector, enabling the input source for each module to be selected between the back XLR “IN” socket or the direct I.A.C. connection to CALYPSO.

LCD Screen with Metering

The CALYPSO LCD screen offers a clear overview of all configuration options, enabling effective unit management.
