Overview
Wheatstone IP88-3CB Console Audio Blade-3 for L Series & IP Series Consoles
Console Audio BLADE-3s provide audio I/O and DSP mix engine functions for WheatNet-IP control surfaces through the network switch. Unique to Wheatstone’s console engine approach is its true IP connectivity. The control surface connects directly into the network switch itself, giving it access to mix engine functions as well as direct access to automation systems, network applications and other control surfaces that make true system interoperability possible.
The IP88CB Console Audio BLADE-3 comes standard with L-8, L-12, IP-12 and IP-16 control surfaces. A single Console Audio BLADE-3 is all that is needed for most studio operations.
Features
With XLRs for mic inputs and monitor outputs, 1/4” TRS for sends to headphone and cue amps, and StudioHub+ compliant RJ45’s for all the general purpose analog and digital I/O, the Console Audio BLADE-3 is essentially a plug-and-play console system in a box. Just plug the Console Audio BLADE-3 and the related WheatNet-IP control surface into an Ethernet switch and you’re ready to go. All Console Audio BLADEs are AES67 compatible for use with other AES67-compatible devices and signals in the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network.
