WHAT’S IN A iPHONE CONSOLE?

Remember when phones were attached to the wall? If you wanted to make a call, you couldn’t just reach in your back pocket and pull out your iPhone or Android.

They don’t make power supplies like this. We know, we’ve tested them all, and we can tell you without a doubt that off-the-shelf power supplies just don’t cut it for broadcast purposes. That’s why we made this power supply for our Audioarts IP-12, DMX, Air 1 and Air 4 consoles, as well as Wheatstone TS-4 and TS-22 talent stations. We also make our own power supplies for LXE audio consoles and our WheatNet IP audio network line of products ...
