2600 Solidyne digital console
2600 XD intelligent digital console range – Consoles for high-performance studios
AoIP control surface – The 2600 digital mixing consoles are a new concept in Radio and TV Air Studios. They are installed in conventional analog or digital studios, taking advantage of existing consoles and cabling, to later evolve into Audio over IP (AoIP) systems based on control surfaces. In this way, your current investment in equipment already installed is fully utilized and without modifying existing studies. But later, simply by adding modules, the investment can be scaled up to a digital AoIP study. Only Solidyne can offer you this technology so that your investments can grow as your station demands. 2600XD with 16 channels; 4 microphones, 8 balanced lines, 4 USB digital lines, 3 phone hybrids (35 inputs total) New look with compact design

Virtual2600 option for remote management by PC or Tablet The 2600 consoles have a full tower with 4 Dual VU meters, Timer, Clock and Phase Vector to know the degree of relief of the stereo sound. Unlike other control surfaces on the market, Solidyne doesn’t force you to have an external PC to measure signal levels. The 2600 line includes a complete measurement tower. All VU meters have an internal computer to accurately measure the audio signal in 1 dB steps. They are of the DUAL type, i.e. they mark separately the RMS value (proportional to the sound sensation) and the peak value referred to the full scale; this is essential in digital management.
The slightest overload keeps the red LED on.
The 2600XL consoles have a 24-step VU, while the 2600XD has a 32-step VU. The 2600 Smart Console is programmable in seconds by the operator; each channel is adjusted to the radio’s needs without the need to open the console to move the jumpers.
2600 consoles are programmable from the front panel in seconds
For example, they can be programmed: 48V phantom power on the microphone
Speaker mute control when opening the MIC
CUE in solo mode (switches off when another CUE is activated)
CUE disconnects when opening the fader
MIC channel controlled by the MIC master
Talkback mode with AutoSwitch (listen to answer)

The CUE buttons accept different working modes programmable by the operator. External monitoring of audio files can also be inserted into the automation PC. You can also program which microphones will be enabled simultaneously when you press the MIC Master button. The 2600 has 5 monitoring channels
2 stereo channels for active studio speakers and control with muting and talkback logic
2 stereo channels for studio and control headphones with muting and talkback
1 CUE bar that accepts external CUE from the PC
Phone call signal on the loud-CUE speaker
CUE on console speaker or control speakers
Monitoring phone lines in HOLD The entire 2600 line employs the new light-touch conductive ceramic attenuators. The attenuator generates a DC voltage which is controlled by the module’s internal computer.
The wide range of modules available for the 2600 is unique on the market.
The 2600XD consoles are 100% modular.
Their modules can be changed even while the console is on the air. Microphones are the basis of studios
Solidyne’s new preamplifiers have the lowest input noise and distortion you’ll find. But the 2600 is also the only console on the market that offers the possibility of having microphones with individual audio processors. It doesn’t matter who you compare it to: nobody offers you this facility. The voices on your radio are the personal stamp you offer your audience. MIC Processor Modules Special 4-band equalizer for the human voice.
GATE to mute studio background noise and have a digital dynamic range on your vocals.
High-pitch audio COMPRESSOR to keep the voice level of different speakers and interviewees balanced.
Pan potentiometer. The 2612 module has a 4-band equalizer, which is very simple to use and instantly accessible. The upper bands allow you to give your speakers’ voices a special shine. If your quality needs are not so demanding, you can use the 2610 modules, which only have the 80 Hz and 10 kHz bands and no compressor or gate. Consoles with USB digital inputs and outputs are the perfect solution for connecting to PCs
This technology, in which Solidyne is a pioneer, allows you to maintain the digital quality of MP3 and WAV recordings.The
2602 modules manage 8 digital channels, completely eliminating hum and connection noise.
Expensive professional audio cards are also eliminated, allowing the use of modern Mini PCs
which take up almost no space as they are very small and fast, but don’t accept audio cards. 2602- USB control electronics are integrated into the 2602 modules, including control mini-VUs, to give your console’s output the same digital audio quality as the original audio file. Exceptional handling of telephone, cell phone, Skype and Vox IP communications
The 2600XD console with its new 2608 master allows you to communicate with the world from its illuminated button panel The entire 2600 line incorporates standard 3 telephone hybrids; two landlines and a cell phone that work in conference.
A single-button attenuator controls the air level via VCA and also the assignment logic. A foolproof system! Telephone calls ring through the console’s speaker with a flashing blue light and are answered from the 2600 Telephone Answer Panel. The console also allows the use of associated telephone sets for simultaneous line management by the operator or Production.
CUE to speak hands-free with the caller
HOLD to hold the call with air return
AIR to send the call over the air
Your radio’s telephone communications will have a level of quality impossible to achieve with other consoles.
Solidyne brings you its exclusive invention: the VQR (Voice Quality Restoration) system. Using the 2630 module option, it will be possible to restore the bass and treble lost during telephone transmission on both physical and cellular lines, in real time. The 2600 XD series offers new possibilities that you will never find in other products…
All models can be equipped with the internal Virtual 2600 computer (option code /VI ), which connects to the LAN network and acts as a web page server. In this way, the console can be controlled remotely from other studios via PCs connected to the station’s network or Tablets or Smartphones via Wi-Fi. This allows you to create remote studios using the main console or manage the radio by a DJ from home. No one has ever offered you these advantages! Watch our video 2600 The conductive ceramic attenuators with a service life of 20 years are also very shallow The tower still has a compact design, despite having complete measurement instrumentation that includes computerized VU meters with RMS precision and instantaneous peak and phase vector of enormous importance in stereo broadcasts. Connection via reliable RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and mechanical interlock.
By means of adapters, these cables are converted into the desired connector (XLR, Plug, Miniplug, RCA, etc.)
The 2600 offers a Start Devices miniplug connector for activating external equipment when opening attenuators. Used for the Studio Box headphone distributor The 2600 consoles come with an internal 90 -240 V switching supply. 50 / 60 Hz manufactured with CE, UL, TUV, IEC, CB certification.
These very reliable supplies also stabilize the mains voltage, making the use of external stabilizers unnecessary. Telephone lines are protected against discharges of up to 2 KV by the Siemens SIOV. The protector is a modular plug-in unit that protects the console in the event of a lightning strike and can be replaced without the need for a technician. You can open new studios without buying more consoles
The 2600 XD allows you to cut equipment costs

Share all the audio from your radio or television station. Share voice studios. Share announcers, newsroom and commercial recording.
Sharing resources reduces investment and operating costs Announcers can record commercials and promotions without leaving the main studio using the 2600’s 3 stereo bars of PGM, AUD, SEND Telephone reports can be recorded from a satellite studio or broadcast in real time in conference with the program presenter. All without leaving the satellite studio. News journalists can go on air immediately from their own studio and using the same console as the central studio.
They can even hold a conference call with any of the lines connected to the console The Disc Jokey can have his own studio and go on air from there driving the console. Or even from home… A journalist can log in remotely from a smart cell phone and control a console channel from there to open a hybrid phone or Skype. Nothing is impossible for the 2600 Connect to the transmitter plant at low cost with a DIGITAL STL link… no need to buy the STL link! The optional /AoIP consoles have digital audio output via the Ethernet network in 48 kHz sampling. That’s why they can be connected to the transmission plant via a cheap 5.8 GHz Internet link (free band). With inaudible delay. The console can also be programmed to send the AoIP output in MP3 format to be connected to a central transmitter or to other stations via the Internet. By using a digital processor with RDS from the AoIP line in the transmitter plant, the digital audio is fed into the processor directly in digital format without converting it to analog. We can control all the audio processor settings from a PC in the studios. We can also send the desired messages over the air from the RDS software, using the same or another PC. The console informs the processor, via the data channel, when the microphones go on air. This switches the processing program to Human Voice mode, optimized for the voice of your announcers, increasing the warmth of the voices and providing a sound impossible to achieve with music settings. It’s a key advantage to compete on the FM dial! If you need more than 16 channels, choose the 2600XX and 2600XZ models.
The 2600XZ model for major Radio and Television studios features a 28-channel, 1.40 m wide cabinet that includes 3 19″ wide LCD video monitors, providing a very comfortable working environment for the operator with 6 VUmeters RMS and PEAK computed. 32 steps 2 Phase

The 2600XZ provides a comfortable control surface and can be mounted on any desk without the need for cut-outs. All the keypads are illuminated and the console can be reprogrammed from the front by the operator himself according to his needs. The use of high-tech electronics, including new conductive ceramic faders, gives it a low silhouette. Added to this is the slim video monitor tower. All this makes the 2600XZ a graceful presence, even from behind. Its reduced silhouette allows the console to be located inside voice-over studios, as it always keeps a perfect view of the announcers. It’s elegant even from behind. Virtual remote control display 2600
The buttons are operated remotely and light up on the screen when pressed. When a module is operated remotely on the real console, the AIR button flashes slowly, indicating to the operator that that module is being used. The faders can be moved by sliding your finger across each fader (or using the mouse)
The orange triangles to the right of each fader indicate the actual console fader position while the audio level position corresponds to the rotary knob. The orange column in each fader slot indicates the effective audio level of that channel (i.e. it will be zero if the AIR button is not activated).
Using DH400 digital hybrids, over-the-air telephone communications can also be managed remotely. They can be crossfaded with programmed times. In this way, a musical curtain input or fade between two songs is made without touching the faders, just by pressing a button
The MIC inputs can be grouped into three blocks; A, B, C In this way, by pressing any of these 3 buttons, they simultaneously go on the air
The VU meters have a standard RMS VU scale.
The PAD button enters a programmed block. It is used to attenuate the background music when entering a voiceover. The 2600 can be configured so that each remote user only has the group of channels they are authorized to manage
