Integrating the Pacamara into your studio…
The Pacamara does not require a lot of space, just 215 mm X 210 mm X 45 mm (8.5 in X 8.25 in X 1.77 in). It can be placed on a desk, on top of a computer, audio interface, or other equipment as long as you do not place anything on top of the Pacamara that would block its air vents. The Pacamara is not rack-mountable, but it is one rack-unit high, so it can be placed on a rack shelf; we recommend leaving an empty rack space above the Pacamara to allow for sufficient air flow.
To control and operate the Pacamara, you will need a laptop or desktop computer with
- Windows 10 or newer / macOS 10.13 or newer
- Internet access to download and install the software
- 4GB or more RAM memory
- 8GB or more free SSD or disk storage
