SMx Audio System - Minimum Recommended Equipment

The following Minimum Equipment Performance (MEP) is SimPhonics minimum deliverable computer performance specification for SMx audio systems. For systems that are proposed or supplied to customers; the computer system will meet or exceed the following performance specification. Since the computer industry has traditionally doubled performance roughly every 18 months, expect these numbers to increase over time.

Note that some systems may be provided with larger hard drives or removable drives in order to provide for more record/playback space, etc.
