The Dutch Audio IC2.1 Insert Computer builds upon their well-known and proven analog circuitry utilized in the IC1.1. However, the IC2.1 takes things to the next level with 2 stereo inputs and outputs! This expands on the digitally controlled analog routing capabilities increasing creativity and flexibility in mixing and mastering applications.
The Dutch Audio IC2.1 Insert Computer offers a versatile array of features. It provides the option for bypassable active gain on the inputs, along with separate active gains for its two outputs. Furthermore, the output gains can serve as a bypass gain compensation for level-matched AB’ing. Insert 3 is designed for blend mode, equipped with our highly acclaimed independent dry/wet controls. Additionally, inserts 5 and 6 are equipped for mid/side processing, featuring dedicated mute buttons for both mid and side channels, and bypassable width control. The encoder control values and the programmable insert name are conveniently displayed on an easily readable display.
The IC2.1 can be used in standalone mode with the classy and intuitive front-panel or in combination with our VST3/AU plugin which also allows you to save and automate settings. All 9 inserts are passive with just relays, except for insert 3, which can be also be used in blend mode and insert 5/6 which can be used in mid/side mode. All active circuits rely on transparent circuitry but will be fully passive when not engaged. The push-buttons can be labelled to your liking by typing in names using the VST3/AU plugin and will be stored in the IC2.1 EEPROM. The name will be shown on the centre of the display for 2 seconds. The switch itself will also turn green when an insert is active. The insert order will be shown on the top row of the display. (for instance, 1-2-4-6-8-7)
The DB25 connectors on the rear of the unit, for the inserts are wired to Tascam standard, with channels 1-4 being Sends, and 5-8 being Returns. You can utilize a DB25 to TRS Snake, if your gear has TRS inputs and outputs. However due to the wiring differences you cannot use an AES DB25 to XLR snake. Front End Audio works with RapcoHorizon to bring you a high quality DB25 to XLR (4XLRM and 4XLRF) snake to use with the Dutch Audio IC2.1. We can also special order the Grimm Audio snakes if you choose.
