Meet LXE, Glass LXE, and Remote LXE

Work from anywhere, the way you like to work. Mix it up virtual in the field or from a fixed console surface in the studio. LXE, Glass LXE and Remote LXE have the same intuitive controls for shared workflows, including mirror tracking of those controls, yet are fully configurable by station, show or individual preferences…whether under glass as a touchscreen interface or as a split frame or single console. 

LXE comes with a powerful mix engine and is the flagship console surface for the WheatNet IP audio network with 200+ interconnected AoIP elements, including talent stations, mic processors, virtual interface tools,  server software and control panels to build your own unique studio environment.

THE MIX ENGINE

LXE surfaces come with a powerful mix engine that houses all the mixing and processing functions plus essential distribution of signals. 

THE CONSOLE

The LXE can be ordered with up to 32 physical motorized faders, with full DSP processing available on all 32 channels. This console is part of the WheatNet IP audio network and utilizes Blade I/O units for routing, mixing and controlling audio and associated logic. The system can ingest and convert virtually all audio formats: mic and line level analog, AES/EBU, SPDIF, AoIP, MADI, SDI and AES67. Loudness metering, phase control, and full EQ/Dynamics are included.

LXE GUI

Every switch and every button on the surface can be programmed for function, mode, and even color (switches are RGB led illuminated). All soft controls are scriptable, letting you create powerful macros for as many controls as you want. Multiple full color OLED displays keep pace with ongoing operations, and event recall allows one-touch console reconfiguration. With its inherent control flexibility and ability to access thousands of signals (sources and destinations are limited only by the size of the network), the LXE takes facility workflows and audio control to a new level.

SCREENBUILDER™ LXE

LXE’s GUI has pre-built screens for everything you normally use – metering, clocks, timers,  dynamics, EQ, assigns, and more. All are touchscreen accessible with gestures you’re used to using on your smart devices. Other, more customizable screens can be created using ScreenBuilder™LXE software by simply dragging and dropping objects and defining their functions via a simple wizard interface. You can store multiple custom screens to go with your custom LXE setups.

OPTIONAL VOXPROX® ONBOARD

The LXE is now available with optional VoxPro onboard for a fully integrated mixing, routing, and live editing experience. 

Integrating VoxPro into the LXE console reduces workspace clutter and gives talent more tools at their fingertips during editing and recording, including control for routing and salvos. Real-time editing is within easy reach instead of in a separate controller off to the side.
