Overview
Audioarts DMX 8, 8 Channel WheatNet-IP Networked Digital Console, with Mix Engine
With DMX, Audioarts joins the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, allowing it to access BLADEs, consoles, software, appliances, processing, and the full complement of Wheatstone (and partners) equipment network-wide. Utilizing WheatNet-IP, the DMX can become a part of an existing WheatNet-IP AoIP network. Or you can use it as the starting point for one.

-
Control room, studio, and headphone jack (with built-in amplifier w/level control)
-
Full EQ functions (4-band parametric with high/low pass and high/low shelving) and full dynamics (compression, limiting, and expansion) on every channel
-
Multi-function channel-encoder knob with OLED display on each channel for control of EQ, dynamics, sources, pan, mode, and more

Audioarts Mix Engine is configured: 2 mic inputs on XLRs, with all additional I/O on RJ-45 connectors: 4 analog inputs, 4 digital inputs, 4 analog outputs, 4 digital outputs, 2 analog mic outputs, Headphone output, Cue output, Studio output, and Control Room output. There are also 5 ethernet ports that will interface directly with optional I/O Razor Interfaces, and a 1 Gb ethernet port for networking.
-
Optional Razor I/O Interfaces can expand the system I/O with 8 stereo or 16 mono in and/or out; available in digital or analog/digital version
In Depth
Full Real-Time Parametric EQ and Dynamics Processing on Every Channel
The DMX has 4 fully parametric EQ bands with peak/shelf control for the low and high bands plus high and low pass filters - on every channel. Same with compression, limiting, and expansion dynamics control - a full suite on every channel. All available at all times in real-time from the console - turn the knob, see the values on the OLED display, and hear the change as you go.
When editing, the functions spill out across channels on the DMX letting you see the entire picture at once. When you are done editing, just close out and the board goes back normal display functions.
With full color OLED displays and color-coded functions, you can see all your settings at a glance. Shown are just a sampling of the displays available on the DMX.
Plug And Play
1. Using standard CAT-6 cables, plug the DMX control surface and engine into the built-in switch on the Audioarts Mix Engine
2. Plug in your computer running Audioarts Navigator software to configure your network
3. If you like, add DMX Razor I/O modules to add more sources or plug into a switch and access BLADEs and the WheatNet-IP Network
4. Plug your own audio sources into the Audioarts Mix Engine and Razor(s)
5. Turn it all on and hit the airwaves
