Request informationDigital Audio Console for Radio and Television
ATRIUM is a digital audio mixer specially designed for radio and television audio production and broadcasting in the most demanding working environments. It handles up to 1000 channels of local or IP audio controllable through one or several surfaces, each with up to 90 motorized and page-able faders.
Flexible control surface, independent of the engine
With tools for remote maintenance and operation
Extremely simple to operate
Assisted operation with Autogain and Automix
A single engine controls up to 6 surfaces
Control system and protocols for complementary equipment
Functional Description
Displays for Fader Modules
Process displays are touch-enabled and allow adjustment by touching the screen, or for greater precision, using the TOUCH & TURN encoder. Equalisation, filter and compression (DLP or Multi-band) processes can be edited directly on the graph or using the virtual faders below it.
Optional Display for the Control Module
An optional TFT display module associated with the control module allows incorporating the measurements required in the most demanding work environments: spatial phase measurement and Loudness measurement in accordance with EBU R128. Allows selection of the signal to be measured and receives it via a Dante link.
State-of-the-art technology and innovative features
PDFCatalogX_CORE Audio Engine
It is an audio matrix, mixer, processor and distributor for broadcast. It works as the engine for one or a set of ATRIUM consoles, and can also function as a general-purpose audio matrix, an intercom matrix, or with combined functionalities.
X_CORE for Atrium can handle up to 1,024 audio inputs and outputs depending on configuration.
Fully modular and redundant: controller, DSP cards and power supply.
Inputs and outputs: AES/EBU, analogue line, microphone, headphones and MADI, among others.
64-channel AoIP Dante/AES67 cards add external IP audio inputs and outputs.
External IP audio I/O can be added via RAVENNA, SMPTE ST 2110-30 and SMPTE ST 2110-31 protocols.
Dual SDI cards add inputs and outputs for extracting and re-embedding audio in SDI signals.
Configuration Software
ATRIUM Setup – Configuration Software
Includes a wizard for quick console configuration, specifying the number and type of inputs and outputs required. The software is fully configurable and allows you to specify the number and type of mix buses, input channels, processing to apply to each console channel, output routing, and more.
Remote Control Software
ATRIUM Virtual – Remote Control Software
The full functionality of the physical control surface is available in this software application. Easy operation of switches, rotary encoders, displays and faders.
