Axia consoles

Element frames are offered in sizes ranging from 4 to 28 positions, with support for up to 40 faders in multiple linked frames. Element is designed to work with the Axia Studio Mix Engine and plugs into the network with a single CAT-6 Ethernet cable. Features four Program buses, and four auxiliary buses. Enhanced, integrated features for phones and codecs include auto-assigned mix-minus on each channel, easy talkback for remote talent cueing, one-button off-air phone record mode, and optional integrated Telco line switching.

Users can save unique profiles allowing different preferences, layouts and defaults for a variety of shows and talent.

Includes digital EQ, dynamic mic processing, and many other advanced features. Allows sharing of audio resources across multiple studios. Requires user-supplied VGA monitor for metering and options display.

PowerStation Main

Power Supply + Mix Engine + Audio I/O

PowerStation is an all-in-one studio solution that combines audio I/O, a console power supply, mixing engine and network switch into one easy-to-deploy package. Each PowerStation Main provides:

4 Analog inputs and 6 Analog outputs
2 AES/EBU inputs and 2 AES/EBU outputs
2 Microphone inputs with selectable Phantom power
4 GPIO machine-control logic ports, each with 5 inputs and 5 outputs
An integrated network switch with 10 100Base-T Ethernet ports, 4 100Base-T ports with PoE (Power over Ethernet), and 2 1000Base-T (Gigabit) ports with SFP
Heavy-duty power supply
Industrial CPU designed for harsh-environment reliability

Use PowerStation Main with an Element console as a standalone studio solution, or connect to other Axia equipment as part of a larger IP-Audio network. PowerStation Simple Networking allows daisy-chain networking of up to 4 PowerStation-based studios without the use of an external network switch. Connecting a PowerStation Aux (P/N 2001-00252) adds auto-switching redundant backup power and doubles audio I/O and GPIO capacity. Fully compatible with all Axia Audio Nodes for even more audio I/O options. Auto-sensing power supply, 90VAC to 240VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz. 500 Watts. Rackmount, 4RU.

PowerStation Aux

Redundant Backup Power Supply + Audio I/O Expansion

Connects with PowerStation Main (P/N 2001-00251) to add auto-switching redundant backup power and double the audio I/O and GPIO capacity. Each PowerStation Aux provides:

4 Analog inputs and 6 Analog outputs
2 AES/EBU inputs and 2 AES/EBU outputs
2 Microphone inputs with selectable Phantom power
4 GPIO machine-control logic ports, each with 5 inputs and 5 outputs
One 100Base-T Ethernet connection to PowerStation Main
Heavy-duty, auto-switching redundant backup power supply for PowerStation Main

Auto-sensing power supply, 90VAC to 240VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz. 500 Watts. Rackmount, 4RU.

Element Power Supply + GPIO Node

Element 48VDC power supply plus GPIO Node with eight assignable logic ports, rackmount, 2 RU. Each port contains 5 opto-isolated inputs and 5 opto-isolated outputs, which can be associated with audio sources and/or destinations to provide machine start/stop pulses, lamp drives, and remote channel controls. One required for each Element frame. Additional 1RU Axia GPIO nodes without power supplies (P/N 2001-00007) may be added where and when required. Requires one unused Gigabit Ethernet port for connection to an Axia network. Auto-sensing power supply, 90VAC to 240VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz. 150 Watts.

Axia Studio Mix Engine

The networked Studio Engine, based on a Pentium IV motherboard running real-time Linux, provides bulletproof mixing console signal processing. All connections into and out of the Studio Engine are via a single 1000BT Ethernet port. Generally, one Studio Mix Engine is required for each radio studio. Each engine is equipped with multiple simultaneous inputs, outputs, mix-minus feeds, monitor signals, etc. Additionally, the Studio Mix Engine can provide EQ for multiple channels and has extra capacity to support expansion features. Auto-sensing power supply, 90VAC to 240VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz. 100 Watts. Rackmount, 2RU. Requires one unused Gigabit Ethernet port for connection to an Axia network. One Studio Engine required for each control surface.
