Eos Apex Processor

• April 20^th — Lead time on shipping Apex Processor is estimated at 14 weeks *  once the factory is given an order (which will also secure your place in line).
• * Due to the rapidly changing situation, lead time can change within hours of an update.  Sometimes it can be extended due to supply chain issues like delayed/missing packages of critical parts.

The Eos Apex Processor carries the same power as Apex consoles, in a 2U 19-inch rack mount unit. It includes the same one- and ten-gigabit Ethernet connections as Apex consoles, making it a great choice to drive a high-powered rig on its own, or serve as a backup to keep large systems running safely.  You can even monitor and interact with your system using the built-in haptic touchscreen.  Or make the Eos Apex Processor into a workstation by adding USB-connectable devices - including touchscreens, Eos Fader Wings, and the Eos Programming Wing.
