IP audio console system
Axia Audio
Powerstation: This all-in-one IP-audio console system combines analog, digital and microphone I/O, a
console power supply, DSP mixing engine and network switch into one package. To set up Powerstation, connect the
studio equipment with standard CAT-5 cables, connect an Element console with just one cable, name the sources with a
browser, and it's ready for air. Powerstation can be the heart of a standalone studio or part of a larger Axia
network. Powerstation simple networking can daisy-chain up to four Powerstations for a multi-studio installation
without a separate core switch.

I/O interface
Burk Technology
Plus-X 300: The Plus-X 300 I/O interface simplifies distribution of monitoring and control to all areas of
a facility by using Ethernet-based connectivity to the ARC Plus or ARC Plus SL. In addition to traditional
transmitter site applications, the Plus-X 300 is well suited for use in studios, control rooms, IT spaces because
wiring paths back to the remote control rack are no longer required. Each of eight input channels can be configured
as either metering or status, allowing users to adapt the Plus-X 300 to the monitoring requirements of each
installation. Relay outputs may be used in any combination of individual relays (momentary or latching) or in mutually exclusive raise/lower pairs.
