The GSX configurable console and Remote GSX virtual mixer are designed for small spaces and fast workflows. Complementary to the LXE console, the GSX has the same easy navigation and soft controls as the LXE, but with advanced controls on a touchscreen interface for large adaptability in a small footprint. Optional Remote GSX is available for navigating, setting up and operating the GSX console from anywhere.
GSX comes with a powerful mix engine and is part of WheatNet IP family of 200+ interconnected AoIP elements, including talent stations, mic processors, virtual interface tools, server software and control panels.
While it’s delivered fully configured and ready for air time, GSX is customizable. Virtually every knob, every button, every display can be programmed to accommodate virtually any application you come up with using optional console builder software.
In addition, features such as Automix, channel layering, and ScreenBuilder™ virtual screen development tools can be added at any point to adapt your GSX console to your evolving needs.
Working in conjunction with the GSX console, Remote GSX provides complementary production functions for separate operators in the same location or in another location over an IP connection. Real-time fader tracking and live synchronization of buttons and controls between the virtual surface and the physical GSX console offer an independent, yet shared user experience for multiple operators – or as a tool for engineers to remote in to correct operator setup issues.

GSX comes with a powerful mix engine that houses all the mixing and processing functions plus essential distribution of signals.
The GSX comes ready for air out of the box, pre-configured for standard broadcast workflows. But with broadcast audio becoming anything but standard, GSX’s powerful flexibility is found in its optional GUI feature. As a drag/drop/scripting software GUI that packs an exceptional amount of power behind an easy-to-use interface, over 25 functions can be assigned to just about any knob, button, or fader on the control surface. Simply double click on the surface feature you want to customize (switch, knob, fader, OLED display) and using the drop-down menu, select the function you’d like to assign to it. Many GSX GUI functions can be customized as well.
With channel layering, you can get up to 32 input channels with as few as four physical faders. Eight physical faders are possible, each with four layers and up to 32 actual input channels. Channel layering offers more channels in a very compact console frame.
GSX’s GUI has pre-built screens for everything you normally use – metering, clocks, timers, dynamics, EQ, assigns, and more. All are touchscreen accessible with the same gestures you’re used to using on your smart devices.
However, this touchscreen GUI is just as customizable as the GSX surface. Using our ScreenBuilder™ GSX software, you simply drag and drop objects to build custom touchscreens, defining their functions via a simple wizard interface. You can then easily store these custom screens to go with your custom GSX setups.
ScreenBuilder™GSX comes stocked with widget graphic elements: meters, faders, knobs, buttons, tallies, etc., all ready to drag, drop, and configure. You can also add your own graphics, and assign functions to them using our script wizard. We’ve seen studio mic plots, simple on/off talent panels, even maps of entire countries showing all transmitter locations – it’s pretty much wide open. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it.
Adjacent open mics during a panel discussion can result in a comb-filtering effect that will make the room sound hollow. Operators used to have to manually mute mics, which is time consuming and error prone. Wheatstone’s optional Automix feature takes this difficult task out of the hands of the operator by automatically reducing the gain on mics not being addressed. The level of all participating mics is determined by the weighting assigned to each channel by the weight sliders in the Automix screen. This allows hosts to be assigned a higher weight in order to speak over guests in a lively discussion. It also allows “loud talkers” to be assigned a lower weight so they are more evenly balanced with other speakers. Conversely, “soft talkers” can be assigned higher weighting to compensate for their lower level. The Automixer also does gain sharing, so the overall level will not exceed nominal levels when multiple participants are speaking at once.
If you have a Wheatstone, Audioarts, or VoxPro product, you’re an important member of the Wheatstone family and we want to hear from you, whether you have questions or need technical support, we are here for you.
