XTA MX36 Console / Audio Switcher
The MX36 handles 36 inputs in a sleek 2U format, across analogue, AES, and Dante sources – These are arranged in sets of four (to typically support Left-Right-Front Fill and Sub feeds from an individual console).
All AES inputs have SRC. There is one set of four outputs, available simultaneously across analogue, AES and Dante networks with Word Clock output sync available on AES.
Even when you’re not monitoring a source the MX36 will be. It will be checking the signal integrity and will auto-select the highest priority source seamlessly if anything fails.
All you have to do is press A, B or C to choose what’s routed to the four outputs (again all available in analogue, AES and Dante flavours simultaneously, with the option for external sync on the AES outputs).
Feed in a stereo source direct to the MX for background music and a mic for announcements. Plug in some headphones and monitor every individual feed from any source, plus check what’s on the outputs and even verify your redundancy failovers beforehand.
Once you’re happy, lock it all down and walk away, safe in the knowledge that the MX will keep the music playing, with dual redundant power supplies, and XTA’s 30+ years of DSP knowledge ensuring your audio is treated with white gloves through the best audio conversion.
