AEQ WILL PRESENT ITS NEW FORUM IP PLUS AND SYSTEL MAX SOLUTIONS AT ISE 2026
AEQ will be present at ISE 2026, which will be held from February 3 to 6 at Fira de Barcelona,
where it will showcase its latest technological innovations for professional audio production
and broadcasting. From its booth 4J800, the company will present FORUM IP PLUS, its new
AoIP digital console for radio and television, and SYSTEL MAX, an advanced call management
and multi-conference system for broadcast and corporate environments.
With its presence at ISE, AEQ reinforces its commitment to flexible, scalable solutions that
are ready for today’s workflows, where IP connectivity, systems integration, and operational
efficiency are key.
FORUM IP PLUS: total control and flexibility for today’s radio
FORUM IP PLUS is the evolution of AEQ’s FORUM family of digital consoles, designed specifically for 24/7 radio and television production and broadcasting. It combines simple operation with a high level of control and customization, adapting to both basic environments and advanced installations.
The console is available in SPLIT and LITE versions, with modular configurations from 4 to 24 faders, allowing the control surface to be adjusted to the actual needs of each studio. The SPLIT version stands out in particular for its motorized faders, which allow for agile and precise management of the fader pages and the A/B option for each channel, automatically positioning themselves at the corresponding signal level. In addition, its modular motor ensures continuous 24/7 operation, with infrequent and very brief technical stops, guaranteeing reliability in demanding environments.
Its Dante™ / AES67-compatible AoIP architecture, together with integrated Bluetooth connectivity on the surface, facilitates integration with current IP infrastructures and external devices such as smartphones. FORUM IP PLUS allows for fully flexible signal assignment, reorganizing channels according to the program or operator, and offers powerful monitoring tools, touch control, and advanced configuration, both from the surface itself and remotely using FORUM VIRTUAL software. All this makes it a versatile solution, ready for modern studios that require reliability, speed of operation, and maximum adaptability.
SYSTEL MAX: scalable call management and multi-conference over IP
Alongside the new console, AEQ will present SYSTEL MAX, its next-generation call-in and multi-conference system, developed for radio, television, and professional environments that require efficient, high-quality communications. Based on VoIP technology and SIP protocol, SYSTEL MAX allows broadcast communications to be integrated with existing IP switchboards, corporate PBXs, and IP telephony providers, reducing operating costs and eliminating dependence on traditional dedicated lines. The system is highly scalable, with the capacity to manage up to 128 lines distributed across multiple studios. Thanks to its architecture based on a non-blocking digital matrix and Dante/AES67 connectivity, SYSTEL MAX ensures that multiple calls can be on air simultaneously without compromising audio quality. It also offers different control options via software applications and touchscreen terminals, adapting to the workflows of producers, technicians, and presenters in both radio and television. With over 30 years of accumulated experience in broadcast telephone systems, AEQ presents SYSTEL MAX as a mature, reliable solution that is ready for today’s IP environments.
Visitors to ISE 2026 will be able to see FORUM IP PLUS and SYSTEL MAX firsthand, as well as other AEQ solutions, at booth 4J800 at Fira de Barcelona from February 3 to 6. The AEQ team will be available to give demonstrations and advise on the integration of these new tools into radio, television, and professional communications projects.
