OVERVIEW

SIMPLY POWERFUL IP CONSOLES

The IP-12/IP-16 looks and feels like a self-contained console but is a WheatNet IP audio console with power to spare. Each input module has access to four program busses and has cue and talkback switches. A 100mm high-quality long-throw fader and lighted channel ON/OFF switches round out the module. The master section offers control room, studio, and headphone controls with source selection, as well as an onboard amplifier and headphone jack. Included are timer controls, a master talkback button, four event switches, six programmable buttons and a built-in cue speaker with level control.

CONSOLE BLADE
IP12 Blade

The IP88 Console Blade comes standard with IP-12/IP-16 console surfaces for mix engine functions as well as I/O. The IP88CB includes four AES inputs, four stereo analog inputs, four AES outputs, and four stereo analog outputs on RJ45s; control room and studio stereo analog outputs on XLRs; two mic level inputs with gain trim and switchable phantom power on XLRs; cue and headphone outputs on both RJ45 and 1/4” TRS; and 12 GPI logic ports on RJ45. The console surface connects directly into the Ethernet switch, giving it access to mix engine functions as well as direct access to automation systems, network applications and other control surfaces that make true system interoperability possible. A single-rack IP88 Console Blade contains all the I/O needed for many studio operations, but busy studios that require additional I/O can upgrade to the IP88CB32 model for double the amount of I/O in 2RU.

SOURCE SELECT

IP-12 A B Switch

 

 

Any channel can be assigned to one or more of the four program output busses, making your material available to an on-air feed as well as an internet stream, for instance. Moreover, any input can be called up on any channel and you can assign a backup or different source to the same channel and switch on the fly by using the SOURCE A/B buttons.

MIX-MINUS

IP-12 TB Switch

 

 

 

Each fader has a dedicated mix-minus output with auto generated monaural mix-minus for routing to telephone hybrids or other devices. Each channel has a talkback that will interrupt the feed to that mix-minus.

The IP-12/IP-16 console has swappable modules and is easily accessible for regular maintenance. There is no “one-surface, gotta take the whole thing apart construction” here. If you need access to a channel, all it takes is two screws and you’re in.  In addition, the IP-12 console comes with separate power supply made specifically for  broadcast to safeguard critical components and regulate power consistently and smoothly throughout the life of the console.

HPS-516 POWER SUPPLY
Wheatstone HPS-516 Power Supply

The HPS-516 power supply is designed to safeguard critical components and regulate power consistently and smoothly throughout the life of your  IP-12, DMX, Air 1, and Air 4 consoles, as well as  TS-4 and TS-22 talent stations.

The HPS-516 power supply is engineered and built to maximum peak-tolerant specifications right here in our factory to protect your consoles and talent stations, ensuring the reliable operation of your most mission-critical studio components for an extended period. Studios are regularly exposed to surges and voltage spikes that can take a toll on equipment. Off-the-shelf power supplies won’t suffice when a 2,000-volt spike comes down the line, yet these commercial supplies are frequently used in many broadcast consoles, leading to a shortened lifespan and reduced reliability over time. Our power supplies are engineered by Wheatstone and manufactured in our factory alongside our consoles and talent stations, all developed specifically to meet the demands and rigors of broadcasting day after day, year after year.

The HPS-516 is available in a single or double rackmount option.
