SABINE NAV360 Details top
NAV360: 3 in 6 out System Processor, with USB, RS23
The second generation of Sabine Navigators features a new hardware platform, new remote control software, intuitive wall-mounted remote controls panels, and a broader range of input/output choices for even greater flexibility. The five new Navigators offer fast setup of your production audio rig, easy and secure configuration of your commercial or worship sound system, and complete signal routing for multi-room venues. Steer your way to a better sounding system with the new Sabine Navigators.
The Sabine Navigator line of sound system processors just got bigger and better. Five new models comprise the second generation of Navigators, and they all feature a new hardware platform, new front panel design, new remote control software, and more input/output and control choices for even greater flexibility. What we didn’t change was the superior sound quality – in fact we enhanced it with the edition of 96 KHz sample rates on the top two models – the NAV4802 and the NAV8802.

Unlimited DSP
The Navigator Series is a complete multi-input/output digital system processor with full loudspeaker management, designed for commercial installation and production audio. The latest in available technology is utilized with 32-bit (40-bit extended) floating point processors and high performance 24-bit digital converters.
All functions operate concurrently and are controlled simultaneously. There is no need to compile any files or settings, the powerful Analog Devices SHARC processors handle the DSPprocessing. Best of all, you never run out of resources! All functions work together, so go ahead and set FBX feedback control filters on every input and compressors on every input and output – no problem!
Better Control
As the name implies, the Navigator is all about control. The new Navigator Remote Control software provides a heads-up display of all systems status and fast access to all parameters. The new version allows you to choose from two main views: Matrix or Mixer. Click here for a free download of the new software.
Equally powerful is the front panel control for those times when you need full access at the rack position. When integrating the Navigator as part of a larger system, choose USB, RS232, or Ethernet as your connection protocol. Serial and Ethernet-based touch screen control is also possible with all Navigators.
The new NAVRC-100 wall panel remote is an attractive, brushed aluminum 2-gang remote control that is wired to the Navigator for trouble-free remote control. The programmable switches are assigned functions, and the built-in LCD displays the name of each preset. Each NAVRC- 100 is capable of controlling up to 2 Navigators, and each Navigator can be addressed and controlled by up to 8 NAVRC-100 wall-panels. This makes for a very powerful control system, and allows for multiple control points for multiple Navigators which can be mounted strategically throughout the installation.
Superior Audio Quality
One of the pioneers in the field of digital signal processing, Sabine’s research and development into digital filtering technology provides an edge in both sound quality and reliability. The FBX Feedback Exterminator is one of the many innovations originating from the engineers at Sabine. This intense research is applied to all DSP functions of the Navigators, including equalization, level control, delay, polarity, routing, multiple crossover selections, and gain management.
Free firmware and software upgrades are easily done by connecting to Sabine’s web site. You can always keep your Navigator current with newly developed algorithms and functions once available. Flexible save and recall functions and complete system security round out these rugged units.
The new Navigators continue the Sabine tradition of simplicity, flexibility, and value. Navigators will improve the sound quality and the adaptability of sound systems for churches, schools, boardrooms, theaters, concert halls, offices, retail outlets, and all levels of touring and production systems.
