AUDIONICS MCX1 AUDIO SWITCHER
The MCX1 audio switchers have been upgraded with the addition of an RS232 serial data link for reprogramming and PC control.
The MCX1 is an entry level 24 × 1 mono or 12 × 2 stereo, 1U rackmounted switcher. It features a novel rotary encoder control system with either a two-digit numeric or an eight character alphanumeric display. The encoder has positive detents and continuous rotation, allowing sources to be rolled over. The MCX1 can be supplied with either a front panel control module or a remote module connected via four core data cable for installation into existing equipment.
The unit can be configured for a wide variety of audio systems including transmission selectors, outside source selectors, monitoring panels or workstation selectors. Due to the simplicity of the control system, it provides a simple method of installing source selection into existing equipment.
The switcher can operate in either 24 × 1 mono or 12 × 2 stereo mode. The 24 audio inputs are via a 56 way EDAC connector on the rear panel and the two electronically balanced outputs are via rear panel XLR connectors. Output transformers are optionally available.
MCX1S
The MCX1S features an eight character alphanumeric source name display. It also has an RS232 serial data link, which allows the source names shown on the display to be reprogrammed by the user at any time using a PC. It also allows the switcher to be PC controlled. The software required for both these functions is available from Audionics and the necessary control protocol can be supplied to customers wishing to write their own software.
MCX1N
The MCX1N uses a seven segment LED for numeric source indication. This product does not feature the RS232 serial data link.
Ordering Information
The MCX1 can be supplied with either a front panel or remote-mounting rotary encoder control module. For the alphanumeric display version MCX1S please specify the source names required.
