Wheatstone/Audioarts Dmx – Ip Audio Console
With the DMX ip audio console, Audioarts joins the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, allowing access to BLADEs, consoles, software, appliances, processing and the full complement of Wheatstone (and partner) equipment across the network.
With the DMX ip audio console, Audioarts joins the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, allowing access to BLADEs, consoles, software, appliances, processing and the full complement of Wheatstone (and partner) equipment across the network. Using WheatNet-IP, the DMX can become part of an existing WheatNet-IP AoIP network. Or you can use it as a starting point for one. Unique to the DMX audio console is its integrated network (5-port switch) which allows you to create a smaller local network by adding I/O and another console without the need for an external switch. This gives you the speed and flexibility to have a complete, independent configuration and the ability to add without the need for an external switch. It’s an ideal configuration for a two or three studio installation, where each studio can act independently as a separate entity, but the studios are connected via an IP network. To accommodate this, DMX provides 1Gb connectivity via its integrated five-port switch for robust routing of sources and destinations between studios and integrates easily with most existing automaton radio systems.
Need more? Simply take advantage of everything the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network has to offer. The DMX control surface is a fully integrated stand-alone console for on-air and production applications. It is available in an 8-fader (DMX-8) or 16-fader (DMX-16) frame with four program busses and bus-minus on each fader, as well as a convenient multi-function knob on each channel for adjusting pan, mode, dynamics and input sources. The console features talkback and cue functions, EQ/dynamics and control room, studio and headphone monitors, as well as LED metering, built-in timer and four-event recall.
The Audioarts Mix Engine uses RJ45 connectors for all audio (StudioHub+ format), logic (WheatNet-IP format) and network connections, except for the 2 microphone preamp inputs (XLR). With two sizes of control surface (8 or 16 channels) available, DMX puts a lot of radio control into a very small space – everything you need to get it on the air.
Connections include microphone preamp output; 4 stereo/dual mono analog inputs; 4 stereo/dual mono digital inputs; four stereo program outputs (analog and digital); 4 stereo analog monitor outputs (Control Room, Studio, Cue and operator headphones); 6-port logical GPIO; Engine Ethernet port; 5-port Ethernet switch for networking Surface, Engine and three additional devices.
Extending DMX with Razors
DMX uses WheatNet-IP to access, control and process any and all audio sources on the network. Each of the Razor I/O interfaces shown above provides 8 analog, digital or analog/digital inputs and outputs, as well as logic and Ethernet connections on RJ45 connectors. In addition, Analog Razor offers a pair of microphone preamps, complete with phantom power and processing presets. DMX can also harness the full power of the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, allowing you to use BLADE interfaces to access, control and process any and all audio sources on the network, using the award-winning tools built into each BLADE. Through AES67, DMX is compatible with similarly equipped third-party equipment, providing unparalleled functionality for your installations. In addition, all the software, such as ScreenBuilder , IP Meters , WheatNet-IP Driver , Navigator and others, are at your disposal to create workflows that can meet your exact needs.
Literally Plug & Play...
1. Using standard CAT-6 cables, connect the DMX control surface and the motor to the switch built into the Audioarts Mix Engine
2. Connect your computer with Audioarts Navigator software to set up your network
3. If desired, add DMX Razor I/O modules to add more sources or connect to a switch and access BLADEs and the WheatNet-IP network
4. Connect your own audio sources to the Audioarts Mix Engine and Razor(s)
5. Turn everything on and hit the airwaves
