29 August 2011, Cleveland Ohio, USA
University College Cork (www.ucc.ie),
one of the most prestigious universities in Ireland, has chosen Axia
mixing consoles and routing networks for its broadcasting department.
CCR 98.3, also known as Cork Campus Radio, is an Alternative-formatted
community radio station that’s been on-air since 1995, and hosts more
than 80 volunteers every week.
Andy Linton, Director of Total Broadcast Consultants Ltd., Axia’s
representatives in Ireland, says that CCR 98.3 covers all of Cork City
and County; Cork is Ireland’s second-largest city. Total Broadcast
installed Axia iQ mixing consoles with QOR.32 Integrated Console Engines
for a refit of their main on-air studio.
“iQ and Radius are the newest members of the Axia console family,”
explains Kirk Harnack, Executive Director, Sales & Marketing. “They’ve
quickly become very popular with radio stations that want to get up and
running quickly with standalone studios, but also see networking as part
of their future. iQ and Radius consoles fit that description perfectly,
since they can be quickly deployed as independent consoles, but can
connect via Ethernet to a larger Axia routing network later on.”
The Axia iQ console is a stereo,
four-bus mixer that can expand from eight faders to up to 24 faders with
accessory frames that also have built-in multi-line telephone controls
and user-programmable buttons that can control audio peripherals via
GPIO. It’s QOR.32 console engine features 4 Mic inputs, 16 analog ins
and 8 analog outs 2 AES/EBU ins and outs, 8 GPIO logic ports, 6
100Base-T Livewire ports for single-cable connection of networked audio
devices, and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connection to other studios. A
16-fader iQ carries a US list price of only $9,985.
Radius, also a four-bus stereo
desk, is fixed at eight faders and comes with a QOR.16 console engine
with 2 Mic inputs, 8 analog ins and 4 analog outs with 24-bit, 256x
oversampling A/D converters, 1 AES/EBU input and output, 4 GPIO logic
ports, 6 Livewire ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Radius has a list
price of just $5,990.
Axia radio consoles are a hit, with installations in over 2,000
studios worldwide. Axia allows broadcasters to quickly and easily build
audio networks using switched Ethernet to connect a few rooms, or an
entire facility. Axia networks have a total system capacity of more than
10,000 audio streams, and can carry hundreds of digital stereo channels
(plus machine logic and PAD) over a single CAT-6 cable, eliminating much
of the cost normally associated with wiring labor and infrastructure.
