GSX brings all of Wheatstone's innovations together into a ready-to-go console/control surface that can easily handle the fast-changing roles of modern broadcast studios. It's a turnkey console that's based on our LXE – the first completely customizable control surface for IP audio systems. While it's delivered fully configured and ready to fly, GSX is customizable. Virtually every knob, every button, every display can be programmed to accommodate virtually any application you come up with using our optional ConsoleBuilder™ software. Additionally, features such as Automix, Layers, ScreenBuilder™, Call Controller Module, Smart Switch panels, and IP accessories can be added at any point to adapt your GSX to your evolving needs.
GSX's modular design makes for flexible installations. The 4-fader input modules (or 2-fader/3-space master module) can be flush mounted right into your table, easily splitting them as you need, and connected to your network with a single CAT6 cable.
GSX interfaces seamlessly into the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, and utilizes BLADEs for audio, control and associated logic data flowing on single CAT6 interconnecting cables. The system can ingest and convert virtually all audio formats: mic and line level analog, AES/EBU, SPDIF, AoIP, MADI, SDI and even AES67. Loudness metering, phase control, and full EQ/Dynamics are included.
