UAD NEO4 DSP Interface (Universal Audio Inc.)

Summary

Universal Audio is developing a prototype called the NEO4, designed to be an affordable audio device with features typically not found in other products at a similar price such as <5ms latency. The team is performing tests on a Micro controller unit, called the i.MX RT1170, to determine if it can handle processing multiple audio signals simultaneously. They are specifically looking at how well it can apply audio effects, such as echo, tone adjustment, and loudness control, using the processors on the board in order to minimize latency These tests will demonstrate whether budget-friendly hardware like the NEO4 can offer professional-level audio performance.
