ETX-unit

Imagine a radio broadcast console that understands exactly what you need and makes switching between sources as smooth as flipping a switch.

This is the role of the ETX-Unit. It’s the heart of this console, transforming it into powerful tool that not only enhance the flow of broadcast but also make it easy to control even complex audio setups.

The ETX-Unit (Ethernet Transmission Extension Unit), functions as the bridge between your audio sources and the network.

Its primary role is to streamline audio signal management, routing digital audio signals efficiently through IP-based connections.

This means every channel, every microphone, and every external audio source can be controlled and manipulated with just a few taps on the console interface, without dealing with tangled cables or complicated setups.

Here's how it works:

IP audio networking:

The ETX-Unit is built to handle IP audio signals, allowing seamless integration of audio sources over a network. Each input and output in the ETX-Unit can be routed anywhere within your setup, providing the flexibility to connect different studios, recording rooms, or even remote locations effortlessly.

Real-time signal routing:

With the ETX-Unit, every signal you need, whether it’s from a microphone, media player, or external call-in line, flows through the network in real time.

This reduces latency and ensures that audio is consistently high-quality and free from dropouts.

Flexible control:

For engineers and DJs, the ETX-Unit means they don’t have to worry about where the sound is coming from or where it’s going.

From one central place, they can route, control, and monitor audio signals with complete accuracy.

Redundant and reliable:

To keep broadcasts going without a hitch, the ETX-Unit is designed with redundancy in mind. If there’s a network issue, the ETX-Unit ensures audio keeps flowing smoothly by switching to a backup path, this keeps the broadcast live and continuous without interruptions.
