Right on the Pulse of Time
Digital audio mixing consoles are famous for their multi-functionality, excellent signal quality, exact signal processing and flexible configuration capabilities. However, they are also famous for being expensive, complicated, and sometimes overkill for smaller radio stations. Do you think it is fair that only the big boys have all the toys and fun?
To offer you all the advantages of a digital mixing console, Qphonics has designed the compact and user friendly digital on-air and editing suit called AEON. The AEON is perfect for smaller radio stations. Be it for outside broadcasting, on-air production or for your editing studio the AEON console will meet all of your technical requirements…and most likely exceed them.
Relying on a classical design your DJs/operators will find the comfort of an analog console in AEON while enjoying advanced technical and workflow functionalities. AEON provides integrated microphone pre-amplifiers, DSP such as EQ and voice processing, signal routing and configurable GPIs. The control surface is easy to operate, as the console lay-out is clearly arranged and the amount of control elements and displays are optimized. Training and installation time is reduced to a minimum.
