iQ Console + Router System

The iQ console + routing system is an all-in-one system that can be used to build custom consoles of sizes from 8 to 24 faders. The basic system consists of one 8-Fader iQ Main Frame (P/N 2001-00275) and one iQ Core integrated console engine (P/N 2001-00275), which includes a DSP-based mixing engine, audio I/O, machine-control logic and Ethernet switch. Faders and control capabilities can be expanded by adding one or more of the iQ Expansion Frames described below. The iQ control surface plugs into the iQ Core using a single CANBus connector; the system can operate as a standalone console or (using one of two Gigabit ports on the Core’s Ethernet switch) as part of a larger Axia network. Up to 4 iQ Cores may be daisy-chained without the need for an external Ethernet switch. 3 dedicated stereo Program buses, plus a stereo Utility bus that can be used for phone calls, off-air recording, or as a fourth Program bus. Features include automatic mix-minus on each fader, talkback functions, one-button off-air Record Mode, dedicated six-line phone system with on-console hybrid controls, Show Profile functions for instant recall of up to 4 pre-defined console “snapshots”, switchable VU/PPM program meters, high-resolution OLED option displays, Studio and Control Room monitor controls. Optional auto-switching backup power supply is available. iQ console frames may be placed on top of desk surface, mounted drop-in style, or easily converted to rack-mounting using included hardware.

Requires iQ Core (see below)

iQ 8-Fader Expansion Frame

The iQ 8-Fader Expansion Frame plugs in to the iQ Core using an available CANBus connector; adds eight faders to your iQ Main Frame. Utilizes 100mm conductive-plastic faders, aircraft-quality switches and LED key back-lighting. May be placed on top of desk surface, mounted drop-in style, or converted to rack-mounting using included hardware.

iQ 6-Fader Expansion Frame + User Buttons

The iQ 6-Fader Expansion Frame plugs in to the iQ Core using an available CANBus connector; adds six faders to your iQ Main Frame, plus 10 Film-Cap buttons that work with Axia PathfinderPC or PathfinderPRO software (see Section 6) to control routing changes, send contact closures or route commands to peripheral audio devices. Utilizes 100mm conductive-plastic faders, aircraft-quality switches and LED key back-lighting. May be placed on top of desk surface, mounted drop-in style, or converted to rack-mounting using included hardware.

iQ 6-Fader Telco Expansion Frame

The iQ 6-Fader Telco Expansion Frame plugs in to the iQ Core using an available CANBus connector; adds six faders to your iQ Main Frame. Built-in Telco section provides easy to use, on-the-board control of Telos iQ6 telephone hybrid (see below). Includes OLED Status Symbols™ visual call management display, direct control of six phone lines and two hybrids, DTMF dial pad. Utilizes 100mm conductive-plastic faders, aircraft-quality switches and LED key back-lighting. May be placed on top of desk surface, mounted drop-in style, or converted to rack-mounting using included hardware.

iQ Core

iQ Core console engine provides 4 mic inputs, 16 Analog inputs, 8 Analog outputs, 2 AES/EBU ins/outs, 4 GPIO, Ethernet switch with 6 Livewire 100Base-T ports (4 with PoE), 2 Gigabit ports (RJ-45 & SFP). I/O can be easily expanded using Axia Audio Nodes (see Section 5). 4 CANBus connectors support consoles of up to 24 faders or three console frames, plus accessory panels.

iQ Backup Power Supply

Auto-switching backup power supply connects to iQ Core, and provides seamless transition to backup power if needed. Single-cable connection.
