Large boardrooms, council chambers and multipurpose halls fail in a predictable way: as open microphones multiply, gain-before-feedback collapses, intelligibility drops, and an operator ends up riding faders for every speaker. The Relacart CONFER X is built for exactly that problem — a 64-input, 16-output digital automatic mixer that gates and balances many microphones in real time, so active talkers stay open while idle channels gate down and the noise floor stays controlled across a long session.

Its matrix is hybrid: analog inputs and Dante network audio coexist, with channels 1-32 running the automatic-mixing DSP and channels 33-64 available for analog conversion and routing. A high signal-to-noise ratio (118 dB, 22 Hz-22 kHz, A-weighted) and Dante/AES67 transport let CONFER X anchor a room that already carries ceiling arrays, wireless receivers and networked loudspeakers on one infrastructure — the kind of single-network, automatic-mixing design AVIXA performance guidelines point to for speech reinforcement.

From a TCO and lifecycle view, consolidating mixing, matrix routing and Dante distribution into one processor reduces the rack count, the cabling and the number of devices to maintain, while the networked architecture leaves room to add endpoints later without re-trunking. AVSTEK surveys the room, models the microphone count and coverage, and specifies CONFER X as part of a coherent, standards-based system so the investment holds its value over the life of the room.
