INTRODUCTION
The AXUM VERSION 3.0 is
a modular completely preprogrammed platform that can grow with you and your organization
any time, any moment. I/O cards can be shared between systems and a Broadcast station
that has decided to use the AXUM as their main and support
mixers can be sure to have invested in a future proof product.
The Axum can be used for small local 4 fader desktop use as well
as large scale (128 faders max) production work and everything
in between.
A large matrix of 1280x1280 with extensive signal processing on
a maximum of 128 stereo channels is available that can be
assigned to Sixteen stereo summing mixing busses and sixteen
monitor buses as well as directly between the maximum of 4 DSP's.
Imagine a console where you can decide yourself what a switch/encoder
or fader will do for you. Not possible?. With the AXUM this is possible and... you can do that yourself
by selecting a function out of hundreds of functions simply
selectable from a database in your AXUM browser. Two control surfaces (with their
own CRM sections) in different studios sharing the same I/O
rack is also no problem for the AXUM platform.
Hardware
purchasing choices are straightforward: Rack ONE accepts a maximum of 21 I/O single slot cards. Rack TWO accepts a maximum of 40 I/O single slot cards. A Control Surface Frame starts with 4 faders as a minimum
and can be extended to a maximum of 128 motorized faders plus
Control/CRM section. Each individual Control Surface Frame can be mounted drop
through in a work surface left or right of your script space.
Interfacing with studio equipment is with high quality low cost
readily available STP cable, also called shielded STP Ethernet
cable, see breakout boxes below to choose from.
An internally generated webpage allows you to remotely control
all settings anywhere over Ethernet and /or Internet.
The MambaNet
protocol controls the communication between all system parts
linked to each other with world standard Ethernet. It gives such an enormous freedom in system solutions so we
hardly can imagine that your needs can not be met with the AXUM.
A software Meter application is included and runs directly from
the Control Surface, but also from any PC in the network. Also hardware meters can be connected in the network anywhere,
thanks to the
MambaNet protocol.

dimensions lower on this page.
All control surfaces have redundant power supply as an
option.
FLEXIBLE CONTROL
SURFACE
The switches on the channel-strip are software assignable to a
function. For instance the ON Switch can be above or below the fader.
Any Control surface switch can do anything you want it to do,
but to not confuse you we have programmed a factory default
assignment that represents
the working procedures of the average
Radio Studio to start with. Switches have long life dual color LEDs. So every active
function is clearly shown. The basic desktop frames are built to use as a drop through
frame in a furniture surface. They can accept 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 pcs of 4 faders sections, or
2,3,4,5 pcs of 4 fader sections and 1 CRM/STUDIO section plus
master blind. With two frames (script space in the middle) you can have a
maximum of 48 faders with CRM/STUDIO section. If more faders are needed larger frame sizes are available upon
request to achieve the maximum of 128 by fader controllable
stereo channels this design can handle.
PROCESSING RACK
FOR I/O CARDS
RACK
ONE, accepting 21, one slot cards.
RACK ONE can accept 21 one slot space I/O-cards. There
are 16available slots for I/O cards (5 are used for POWER and
Engine card) RACK TWO can accept 40 one slot space I/O cards. There are
35 available slots for I/O cards (5 are used for POWER and
Engine card)
RACK TWO (6HE)
accepting 40 I/O one slot cards
An
internal power supply card (3 slots positioned on the left side)
is necessary as well as one Engine card (2 slots, on the right
hand side of the Rack), a redundant power supply is optional.
If you just want I/O routing no DSP card is necessary, but if
you want signal processing one DSP card is always necessary to
control 32 stereo channels as a maximum. More DSP cards (4 max)
give more processing channels (up to 128) A range of I/O cards can slide into the 19" rack to achieve the
necessary number of analog and digital in and outputs your
studio needs. Any changes can be performed while ON-AIR.
IN / OUTPUT CONNECTORS

back-side
IN / OUTPUT CONNECTORS
The huge
amount of in- and outputs per card could not be designed with a
dedicated (jack/Cinch/XLR connector in the space available on
the front of the card. By using standard STP cables in every input and output module a
compact and neat cabling can be achieved. Due to standardization, changes in wiring can be achieved very
easily without the need for soldering. These low cost Cat-5 cables are ready made available from us or
from your nearest computer store starting at lengths of 30cm up
to 20 meters. If you need to connect a MICROPHONE to the AXUM take our 19
part number 60882045 break out panel. Mount it in your studio rack, hook up a shielded RJ45 (STP)
cable between the AXUM and this Mic input panel and you're
ready. This also includes the remote wiring! No need to buy twice the
amount of expensive XLRs. We have five types of patch panels available to choose from, see
below.

With D&Rs CobraNetTM
Manager Software you can visualize and
control/plan/schedule the CobraNetTM
audio network. With this card we always deliver a light version of
this software. (4 devices max.)
ENGINE CARD
The engine is the main controller of
the rack system. On this card all information for
the rack is processed. The RJ45 Connector is your gateway to the Ethernet
switch that is connected to all MambaNetTM
compatible devices.
For service only the following interface connectors
are available:
RS232
VGA
Keyboard
Mouse
USB
On the BNC connection you can connect
a word clock output signal or a word clock input
signal. The input signal can be terminated with 75 Ohm using
the latching switch. By plugging a DSP card in the I/O rack you add
mixing capabilities to your matrix. In combination with the engine card you create an
advanced mixing console.
The DSP card processes 64 mono input
channels to 32 busses and 8 monitoring busses. On an input channel the following processing is
available:
Low cut
Gain
EQ
Dynamics
Level meter
pre/post
switching
You can insert a maximum of 4 DSP
boards. This gives you a fascinating mixing console
of 256 mono input channels to 32 busses (and 8
monitoring busses.
POWER SUPPLY CARD
The power supply card is also
controlled by MambaNetTM to make it
possible to check the voltage levels at the supply
itself. If you insert a second power supply card, this power
supply will act as a redundant power supply for the
system. Mains AC voltage (100V-240V, 50-60Hz) is connected
with a locking Neutrik PowerCONTM
connector. With the power switch you can turn the local power
supply on/off. Maximum power
consumption is 125 watt.

(OPTION)
New optional Remote control application

AXUM in use. Any function on this screen can be controlled in real time from
your local application but also from your home over the
Internet.
It is also possible to create an extra "virtual" mixer without
having to buy the hardware control surface.
Planning your studio
When
planning your studio,
there are maybe some things you need to also
think about concerning the amount of in and outputs you need.
A maximum of 4 control surfaces (mixers) can be connected to the
RACK-ONE or RACK-TWO. THis can also be virtual mixer by way of
the Remote application.
You need to consider how many processing channel you want (32
processing channels per DSP card, 4 max).
Also the number of busses per DSP card needs to be considered,
there are 16 stereo mixing busses per DSP card that can be used
for Program buss, Cue buss, Aux busses etc.
Additional there are 4 stereo monitor busses available per DSP
card.
To have more control surfaces in different rooms hooked up to
one Rack is an economical way of building a networked studio.
But for redundancy and maintenance it is more wise to be able to
switch between 2 complete systems.
The FireWire card with 16 stereo in and outputs can only be used
for 1 PC each.
For the rest you need to think about the following extra's. INPUTS:
* External (from Air, TV, Post processing, Tuner, etc.
* From Effect (reverb)
* DJ Set, Non stop, News, On Location set
* Laptop Studio
OUTPUTS
* Reverb
* Extra Loudspeakers
* Talkback outputs
* Recording analog
* On-Air logging
Just some thoughts to
consider.
