New York, NY (October 9, 2026)—At NAB Show New York, Calrec will demonstrate its IP-native ecosystem, with its Argo console range at its center.
Visitors will see a 36-fader Argo S console running on an ImPulse IP processing core acting as the main controller. It will be linked through True Control 2.0 to a 24-fader Argo M running on internal DSP, and the new 12-fader Type RT compact console. The company will also showcase its new Apex M6 1U modular I/O platform.
True Control 2.0 gives full control over EQ, dynamics, routing, direct outputs and delay from any connected console. A controller can manage up to five other Calrec consoles or processing cores at once. Wherever the processing sits, the operator’s experience stays the same.

Launched in September, Type RT is Calrec’s most compact all-in-one digital console. DSP, control processing, I/O, monitoring and USB audio are all built in, and it supports native ST 2110 AoIP connectivity, with Dante and MADI available as options. Available as 6-, 12- or 18-fader options, every model shares the same capability, so users are mainly choosing the surface size.
Apex M6 is Calrec’s new compact 1U modular I/O platform for audio interfacing, routing, bridging and network edge connectivity. It has six configurable module slots, two built-in MADI interfaces, a 512 x 512 internal router and NMOS-native operation. It works across Calrec’s console range or independently of it, which suits facilities moving to IP, expanding existing networks or mixing formats.

Calrec is backing the EBU’s Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) project. DMF envisions a shared server stack hosting all the production software a facility needs, with users spinning up whichever tools a job requires. The EBU’s associated Media eXchange Layer (MXL) was developed as an open-source project in collaboration with the North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) under the Linux Foundation. It lets containerized software from multiple vendors exchange audio, video and metadata through shared memory on the same server. Calrec has committed to adding MXL support to ImPulseV, its virtualized audio mixing engine.
