HARMAN Professional Solutions recently announced the new JBL Intonato 24 Monitor
Management Tuning System, the industry’s most comprehensive solution for easy
setup, precise automated calibration, and complete control of monitoring systems in
stereo, surround, and immersive audio production rooms. Housed in a 2U rack-
mount enclosure and shipping with more included I/O than any monitoring control
solution available today, Intonato 24 can calibrate and control systems of up to 24
speakers with customized recallable routing of up to 24 sources selected from 24
dedicated analogue, 24 digital and 256 networked audio sources. Included software
and an optional Desktop Controller put the system’s powerful monitoring features at
your fingertips, and take control room monitoring to the next level.
Intonato 24 includes a calibration microphone and innovative Automated Speaker
Calibration process that “tunes’ each speaker to compensate for speaker placement
and room acoustics, delivering neutral response to the mix position–even in less-
than-ideal work spaces. The result is a finely-tuned system that takes the
guesswork out of mixing by tackling room-related low-frequency issues and
precisely matching the level and “time-of-flight’ from each speaker to the mix
position.
Intonato 24 comes standard with the most I/O in its class and features flexible
internal routing and a mixer to provide unprecedented monitoring flexibility. With
the power to manage monitoring systems of up to 24 speakers–including up to four
subwoofers that can be assigned as “Bass Management’ subs with selectable
crossover settings–Intonato 24 is compatible with all monitoring formats including
stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and makes immersive monitoring possible in any control room. In
addition, with the ability to patch, route, and selectively monitor any combination of
24 analogue, 24 digital and 256 networked sources including DANTE via an optional
interface, Intonato 24 will easily be right at home in any professional studio
environment.
An intuitive graphical user interface allows you to control Intonato 24 from Mac,
Windows, and a range of tablets. Complete configurations, including speaker setup
parameters, EQ, subwoofer settings, input source patching, and down-mix
preferences can be stored as “profiles’ and “scenes’ and instantly recalled (even
mid-session) to meet the requirements of specific projects and clients. The optional
Intonato Desktop Controller puts monitor system control at your fingertips,
providing elegant control of system volume, recall of user-configured scenes,
activation of speaker mutes and solos, and other frequently used features.
Intonato 24 pairs with JBL 7 Series and JBL M2 Master Reference studio monitors to
create the first complete monitoring system designed for immersive audio
production in control rooms of any size. While Intonato 24 was designed as the hub
of JBL’s new 7 Series installed reference monitor system, the unit can be used with
any passive or powered speaker. In addition, HARMAN BLU link network protocol
allows Intonato 24 to be digitally networked with Crown power amplifiers and an
assortment of system components.
