Wexford, Ireland’s South East Radio (southeastradio.ie)
has just commissioned new on-air studios using Axia Audio mixing
consoles and AoIP routing equipment.
South East Radio has served Ireland since 1989, and the new Axia gear
replaces analog studios placed in service in 1996. The sale, which
includes an Axia Element 2.0 console and PowerStation integrated console
engine along with multiple Axia audio nodes, was made by Total Broadcast
Ltd., Axia’s distributor for Ireland.
Andy Linton, Director of Total Broadcast, says that, thanks to Axia’s
ease of deployment, the rebuild was completed in a very short time. “The
old studio was decommissioned over two days, the room refurbished, new
furniture fitted and the Axia equipment installed in 3 days,” Andy
relates. “The studio came on air 21st Sept at 16:00 in a seamless
transition, as an Axia node had been previously installed in the racks
area to feed the transmission chain.”
One reason for the fast setup is an Axia exclusive: the
zero-configuration Ethernet switch built into the PowerStation mixing
engine. Axia is the only AoIP console manufacturer to build the network
switch into the console itself; all of Axia’s “integrated console
engines” include a preconfigured, built-for-broadcast Ethernet switch
with 100Base-T Livewire ports for single-cable connection of networked
audio devices, and Gigabit Ethernet ports for connection to other
studios. 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.
