The broadcasting industry is witnessing a revolutionary transformation with the introduction of the D&R Axite Digital 12 Fader Radio Broadcast Console. Based on the innovative AXUM platform, the AXITE is a state-of-the-art, modular, and completely preprogrammed console designed to meet the dynamic needs of radio broadcast stations. Let’s delve into what makes the AXITE a future-proof investment for your broadcasting needs.

Modular Design for Scalable Growth

One of the most compelling features of the AXITE is its modular design, which allows for seamless scalability. Whether you’re operating a small local station or a large-scale production, the AXITE can adapt to your needs. Starting from a compact 6 fader desktop setup to a robust 128 fader configuration, this console is equipped to handle productions of any size. The possibility to share I/O cards between systems ensures that the AXITE can grow alongside your organization at any moment.

Unprecedented Control and Customization

Imagine a broadcast console that offers unparalleled flexibility in control. The AXITE turns this imagination into reality by allowing users to customize switches, encoders, and faders to perform a variety of functions. With hundreds of functions readily selectable from a database in your AXITE/AXUM browser, the level of customization at your fingertips is truly remarkable. This feature alone sets the AXITE apart from traditional consoles, offering a personalized broadcasting experience.

Advanced Connectivity and Integration

The AXITE simplifies hardware integration and connectivity. It supports two control surfaces, each with its own CRM sections, in different studios sharing the same I/O rack without any hassle. High-quality, low-cost STP cables ensure a reliable and efficient connection with studio equipment. Furthermore, the AXITE’s internal webpage facilitates remote control of all settings from anywhere in the world, providing flexibility and ease of use.

Robust I/O Capacity and Signal Processing

With Rack ONE and Rack TWO offering extensive I/O capacity and the control surface frame’s scalability up to 128 faders, the AXITE is a powerhouse of connectivity and control. A large matrix of 1280×1280 with advanced signal processing capabilities on up to 128 stereo channels ensures superior sound quality. The console supports sixteen stereo summing mixing buses and sixteen monitor buses, catering to the most demanding production requirements.
