THE SOLUTION
Where have you been all my life?
Handling 36 inputs in 2U across analogue, AES and Dante networks, these are arranged in sets of four (to typically support Left-Right-Front Fill and Sub feeds from an individual console). All AES inputs have SRC. There is one set of four outputs, available simultaneously across analogue, AES and Dante networks with Word Clock output sync available on AES.
Contact UsTHE SHOW MUST GO ON
When you need to ensure that the show goes on, no matter what happens, you need backups of backups. You need a way to automatically switch between them if the primary signal path drops out. You need the ability to work with any sample rate on any AES input. To perform this across not just stereo pairs, but four channels simultaneously (L/R/FF/Sub).
No need for control software, no PC and no way for this to be tampered with remotely. You don’t want to be trusting this to an inferior sub-mixer or an over-specified, over-complex processor – get the right tool for the job.
IT'S EASY AS A,B,C.
All you have to do is press A, B or C to choose what’s routed to the four outputs (again all available in analogue, AES and Dante flavours simultaneously with the option for external sync on the AES outputs). Feed in a stereo source direct to the MX36 for background music and a mic for announcements. Plug in some headphones and monitor every individual feed from any source, plus check what’s on the outputs and even verify your redundancy failovers beforehand.
Once you’re happy, lock it all down and walk away, safe in the knowledge that the MX36 will keep the music playing, with dual redundant power supplies, and XTA’s 25+ years of DSP knowledge ensuring your audio is treated with kid gloves through the best audio conversion.
