PRODUCTS SSL S500m Console Solid State Logic has introduced the S500m console, which is the latest surface addition to the System T range. The S500m can be specified as 32- and 48-fader versions with turnkey flight case solutions, or as a larger custom specification surface with up to 96 faders. The S500m provides the same flagship features as the System T S500 console in a form factor that is more than 25 per cent lighter, specifically designed for OB and flypack applications where weight and portability are key concerns. The S500m’s modular functionality also lets a console be deployed with or without an extended meter bridge. This allows a complete production system to be transported in a purpose-built rack case, providing a console stand, meter bridge shipping storage, and two 8RU racks for Tempest Engines and Network I/O.

XTA MX36 Console Switching System XTA has released the MX36 DSP-enabled console switching system, which is designed for festival systems integrating multiple consoles. Designed to offer a solution to the longstanding problem of routing multiple mixing console outputs to a system processor and/or loudspeaker system, the 2 RU MX36 can potentially accommodate up to nine consoles via 36 inputs across analog, AES, and Dante networks. Inputs are arranged in sets of four to support standard left, right, front-fill, and sub feeds from each individual console. All AES inputs have sample-rate conversion, and there is one set of four outputs, available simultaneously across analog, AES, and Dante networks, with word clock output sync available on AES. All switching takes place in the digital domain with soft crossfades, primarily to switch up to three consoles, each with up to three levels of redundancy.
