Axia Audio has just announced that its popular modular
broadcast console, Element, will be getting a software upgrade.
Element Version 2.0 software, which will be released
shortly, contains many new features and refinements of existing
capabilities, according to Axia Audio marketing manager Clark Novak.
“Our design philosophy with Element has always been ‘make
it powerful, but make it easy to use,’” says Novak. “There’s no
‘one-size-fits-all’ in broadcasting; every facility has its own unique
operational needs. The reason Element has been such a hit with such a
wide variety of clients is that users can customize the console to the
way they work, rather than having to adapt to the way the console
works.”
Element consoles are extremely flexible, with a mix of
features that makes them well-suited for on-air, production and remote
broadcast studios, and are available in sizes from 2 to 40 faders in
single and split-frame configurations. Standard features include 4 main
buses plus 4 stereo Aux sends and receives, EQ for all sources and
faders, Omnia Voice Processing for all mic inputs, automatic Mix-Minus
generation for every loaded source, easy recall of custom Show Profile
“snapshots”, and both stereo and 5.1 Surround mixing capabilities,
selectable in software. Additionally, Element consoles are available in
three colors, designed to complement any studio décor.
New features in Element v2.0 include:
-
New “SmartSharing” Feature. Intelligent audio
source management that works with Element’s automatic mix-minus to
lock control of sources with backfeeds or GPIO to a single studio
(while still allowing other studios to listen in).
-
Motorized Faders. Controls for new Element
Motorized Faders facilitate remote control of fader positions and
allow faders to assume a pre-set gain when Show Profiles are loaded.
-
Virtual Mixer Functions. Element v2.0 features
a global Virtual Mixer section of 40 inputs divided into eight
virtual submixers, all of which may be controlled using either a Web
browser or Axia PathfinderPC automated router control software.
-
Advanced Telephone Support. Caller ID and call
status is now displayed on Element’s main screen, and new
Split-Channel Recording options allow talent’s mic and phone callers
to be recorded on separate channels for easy post-production
editing. The new Telos Nx12 telephone interface is fully integrated
into Element as well.
Visit Axia in the Broadcasters General Store booth, #304,
at the NAB Radio Show in Charlotte, North Carolina for a complete
demonstration of Element consoles and IP-Audio networking. For more
