Overview
Wheatstone GSX-2420, 20 Fader, 24 Channel Mainframe Programmable Console, with Blade 3 Mix Engine
GSX brings all of Wheatstone's innovations together into a ready-to-go console/control surface that can easily handle the fast-changing roles of modern broadcast studios. It's a turnkey console that's based on our LXE – the first completely customizable control surface for IP audio systems. While it's delivered fully configured and ready to fly, GSX is customizable. Virtually every knob, every button, every display can be programmed to accommodate virtually any application you come up with using our optional ConsoleBuilder™ software. Additionally, features such as Automix, Layers, ScreenBuilder™, Smart Switch panels, and IP accessories can be added at any point to adapt your GSX to your evolving needs.
GSX interfaces seamlessly into the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, and utilizes BLADEs for audio, control and associated logic data flowing on single CAT6 interconnecting cables. The system can ingest and convert virtually all audio formats: mic and line level analog, AES/EBU, SPDIF, AoIP, MADI, SDI and even AES67. Loudness metering, phase control, and full EQ/Dynamics are included.
GSX has moved the meters from the console to the graphic interface on-screen, giving you a low-profile workspace that lets you focus your attention where your eyes spend most of their time. The touchscreen GUIs let you interact with your audio to do everything from pinching and dragging EQ to setting up router crosspoints in your network. Optional ScreenBuilder™ GSX software enables you to create your own touchscreens. And optional ConsoleBuilder™ is a GUI-based app that allows you to program and configure your hardware surface
