About Spectral Computers
Ordinary off the shelf PCs are not designed to operate in the industrial
24/7 environment of the production studio; these are often susceptible
to (and a cause of) both RF and acoustic interference, while case
build, power supply and other elements do not provide the reliability
and robustness required for professional audio use. The operating
system is not optimized. Windows variants include vast numbers of
processes and applications that are running all the time but apply
to a general computing environment, slowing the speed of the machine
and precipitously reducing reliability. In addition, standard PCs
tend to be built from a grab-bag collection of boards, drives and
parts, making it impossible for their behavior, even in a tightly-defined
software environment, to be predicted.
PCs from Spectral address all these problems —
and more.
Spectral Computers Are Qualified
Spectral Computers have been designed, built, tested and then qualified
as meeting or exceeding the exacting system requirements of pro audio
software by all the major suppliers including: Digidesign, Steinberg,
TC Electronic, Native Instruments, Cakewalk, Gigastudio, M-Audio and
others.
Spectral Computers Are Optimized
The complete Spectral range delivers the power, stability and reliability
needed for use in the professional digital audio world where everything
must work properly, all the time. Spectral Computers are designed
to maximize the throughput of AV data, providing the features required
by today’s audio creation software. The Spectral range is able
to process significantly more AV data at higher speeds, while the
installed Windows XP operating system has been deeply optimized to
clear out unnecessary features and applications that have no place
in a studio, resulting in greatly increased speed with improved reliability
and stability.
Spectral Computers Can Be Customized and Upgraded
If customers need even greater performance than Spectral’s standard
models deliver, Spectral Computers can be customized to deliver what’s
required. Whether it’s a faster processor, more RAM or a special
hardware/software configuration, Spectral has a solution. Additionally,
Spectral Computers are based on an open architecture, which allows
a system to be upgraded as performance needs increase.
Spectral Computers offer audio production ‘must-have’
features, including ultra-quiet operation, automatic thermal regulation
and automatic system data backup/recovery. These are not just ‘extras’
in pro audio: they’re necessities.
It all adds up to one thing: Spectral makes the best
solution for Windows-based audio creation and manipulation in the
professional audio world.
