Overview
Axia iQs Virtual Mixing Console Software, 4 to 24 Fader License
The Axia iQ family takes a step into the virtual future with iQs virtual mixing console—the software version of iQx that does not require a physical surface. iQs is a soft console controlled by a full HTML-5 interface, allowing you to not only control the mix from anywhere, but on any device.
Axia iQs Virtual Mixing Console Software is pre-installed and requires the Axia AE-1000 Preconfigured Server.
Telos Alliance understands that virtualizing studio operations can be an overwhelming prospect. That’s why we are eliminating some of the legwork by pre-installing the iQs AES67 Mixing Console Software on a 1RU Telos Alliance AE-1000 Application Engine—our new line of universal servers—to help you ease into the virtual studio and prepare for the future. You can centralize the AE-1000 at the studio, yet give board operators the flexibility to control the iQs mix from a bedroom, a coffee shop, a makeshift studio...anywhere with an Internet connection.

- Additional monitor section provides separate monitor volume, source selection, and talkback controls for an associated studio
- Flexible built-in mix-minus and talkback system lets operators talk to phone/codec sources, each with an associated, automatically created backfeed mix-minus
- Precision event timer can be operated manually or triggered by starting preselected sources
- Unlimited Source Profiles with four quick-recall snapshots (show profiles)
- Auxiliary “V-Mix” remotely controllable 5-input virtual mixer, for whatever extra audio needs you may have

In Depth
Scalable to Fit Your Needs
iQs is also more flexible than its physical counterparts, starting with a base iQs 4-fader software module and growing in increments of 4 faders (instead of 6 or 8), up to 24 faders. This flexibility allows you to precisely dial in your soft console, without paying for extra faders you don’t need.
With iQs, you get all the functionality and flexibility of our popular iQ and iQx physical consoles in a more convenient, scalable, and flexible format that delivers the mixing capability you need, where you need it, on any device.
Expand iQs Capabilities with Axia Pathfinder Core PRO
Livewire+™ AES67 is Telos Alliance’s AoIP protocol that not only enables high-reliability, low-latency uncompressed digital audio over Ethernet, but incorporates logic, control, and program associated data (PAD) abilities. Since no signal routing solution is useful unless you can control and manage the system effectively, Telos Alliance Pathfinder Core PRO is the key to unlocking the true potential of a Livewire+ AES67 ecosystem.
By discovering and identifying all compatible devices connected to the system, Pathfinder identifies each available AoIP source and destination. As a middleware layer using its onboard protocol translator to connect with many commonly used third-party controllers, it serves as an AoIP router, an ideal core infrastructure component for diverse broadcast audio applications. Pathfinder can schedule and trigger events, detect audio silence, issue alarms, and instruct failover routing. It even allows the user to create custom screen-based control and monitoring panels.
Due to an unprecedented level of control included in the iQs platform, you can vastly expand your system capabilities by using Pathfinder Core PRO in concert with iQs. Need to automatically dial your Z/IP ONE when you load your show? Change your program bus assignments depending on whether you are on the air or not? Fire automation system automatically when you turn your mic off? Load a show profile every day at 3:30? Raise an alert if audio is not being received correctly? Pathfinder can do it all. Additionally, use the HTML-5 panels in Pathfinder or Axia IP-Tablet to customize and develop your own user interface for iQs.
