Solidyne 2300XZ Digital Studio Console

2300XZ up to 26 channels (16 channels with 40 cm desk), 12300XZ up to 26 channels (16 channels with 40 cm desk), 1250 mm wide Pictured 16 channels + 2 Hybrids model. It can be mounted on the table, without cutting it, since it is only 2 cm high.

• Space for two flat screen 15" plasma video monitors (not included). A dual video card can be used from a single PC to operate both video monitors. The 3 stereo bus output level control is done using true peak bar graph display with Stereo Phase Vector (model VC180). The console has dual power supply for 100% redundance and a clock/Timer to watch the On-Air time of each speaker or Journalist.
• You can connect all your radio studios using your standard 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN.
• No more old audio matrix systems and long shielded cables!
• The 2300XZ console can be ordered with integrated Ethernet connection to the LAN of the radio station Thus the network will transport computer data and also Audio over IP.
• The bi-directional audio network will use PCM (uncompressed) audio streaming.

• You can link all studios, RPU/OB transmissions and also the transmission plant.
• PCM digital audio does not have loss of quality. No hum or noise. It is the perfect solution !
• The radio studios that do not use 2300XZ consoles, can be connected through the optional Coder-Decoder model ADA102.
• From the console 2300XZ matrix routing is performed to assign the audio to different studios or several of them simultaneously. This way you will have full duplex (input & output) audio routing with digital uncompressed PCM quality.
• For example, using PCM with Fs = 32 kHz you will have 16,000 Hz response (great for FM)

• Each stereo channel requires about 1 Mbps and two channels (Tx and Rx) twice this number. 
• Therefore a standard 100 Mbps LAN can handle, in addition to computer data, all the audio of your radio.With full digital quality!
• The console has digital I/O AES-3 & S/Pdif All modules and front panels are protected by a Polycarbonate membrane engraved at the reverse side. The console remains unaltered for ever.
• Direct access to the input and output connectors that can be changed while the console is On Air.

Solidyne 2300XZ; the best digital console... at an affordable price.
