The Arcus is a large-format mixing console that is designed for fast-tracking live productions. This digital mixing console features IP networking and a menued touchscreen panel to eliminate the “sea of knobs” for basic functions such as setting talkback, configuring bus matrices, muting mic groups, and managing sources. Available in 16-fader frame sizes on up, the Arcus owes its ease of use to this and other advances in design and technology not found in other fixed-location audio consoles.
The Arcus is a powerful, large-format mixing console designed for fast-paced production environments. Its IP-based networking architecture, coupled with a fully touchscreen-enabled interface, delivers an intuitive user experience, with smartphone-like gestures such as pinching and swiping. The console eliminates the need for numerous physical knobs by incorporating a simple, tabbed menu on a touchscreen panel, streamlining functions such as bus configuration, source management, and mic group control.
Arcus provides flexible audio I/O management over IP, enabling connections to any audio source—whether HD/SDI, AES, MADI, AoIP, Analog, or TDM. The console is also equipped with programmable OLED displays, motorized faders, and full digital audio processing as well as integration with standard production automation systems.
The Arcus offers customization through pre-configurable setups, multiple user presets, and the ability to drill down into functions via on-screen prompts, ensuring ease of use for both novice and experienced operators.
Paired with WheatNet IP, Wheatstone’s AES67-compliant IP audio network, the Arcus console ensures seamless routing and control over any source or destination on the network, enhancing its capability to support complex live productions.
It’s all about staying on the air – every second of every day – without fail
Wheatstone’s experience in designing audio consoles for all broadcast realms as well as pioneering networking comes together in the Arcus. More power to handle modern needs with a user interface that is pure joy to get your hands on. And with Wheatstone’s built-in safeguards, you can rest assured that you’ll always be on the air…with or without fail.
The meterbridge LOUDNESS meter has the required momentary, short-term, and integrated metering as well as a peak reading meter. The Loudness Range meter provides a level history over the course of your program with a Program duration display and a reset control on the Arcus surface. The Loudness Meter can be set to read any of the Stereo Program or 5.1 Program busses. The large LKFS readout helps your operators maintain CALM compliance, avoiding more noticeable downstream corrections.
With WheatNet IP BLADEs, you get a virtual rack room in a 1-rack space box. They handle all the I/O (AES/EBU, SPDIF, AOIP, MADI, SDI and AES 67) and provide full routing capabilities. Each BLADE gives you two 8×2 utility mixers, 12 universal GPI/O ports, 128 software logic ports, silence detection, built-in audio clip player, stereo multi-band audio processing, and much more, assignable anywhere on the network. With it you can create workflows that would require a ton of third-party gear.
The optional 4RU StageBox One is for extending console I/O, providing 32 mic/line inputs, 16 analog line outputs, and 8 AES3 inputs and 8 AES3 outputs as well as 12 logic ports and dual Ethernet ports. StageBox One works with all WheatNet-IP audio networked consoles.
