VORSIS FM-5
Wheatstone’s NAB 2007 Showcase Offers New Innovations in Audio Mixing, Processing, and Networking
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 16, 2007)– WHEATSTONE Wheatstone Corporation unveiled products that represent the manufacturer’s new, targeted range of cost-effective broadcast equipment
for the radio and television industries.
The Evolution System
The E-series Surfaces, the E-SAT and the E-NET switch combine to achieve a cost-effective networked
audio system. Studios equipped with the new Evolution 5 and Evolution 6 control surfaces can operate
independently yet share all sources and mixes through the E-NET—without traffic limitations, audio
latency, or machine control delays. The Evolution 5 offers event recall, bus-minus, four mix-minus, four
monitor outputs, panning, realtime graphic displays and password-protected set up screens.
The Evolution 6 features include: event recall, bus-minus, four mix-minus and four aux mixes, four
monitor outputs and standard EQ, dynamics, panning and mic processing on all channels
(simultaneously), realtime graphic displays, production tools and password-protected set up screens.
Based on the WheatNET architecture, the E-NET has up to 16 ports using RJ-45, which can connect
multiple E-Series systems at one central point. The E-NET is packaged in a 1 RU enclosure to save
valuable rack space. The E-Series devices can also integrate with larger Wheatstone Bridge systems
that use XPoint software.
The SAT-E is a scaled down version of the popular Wheatstone Bridge SAT. The I/O cards can be
digital or analog with 4 stereo (8 mono) inputs or outputs on each. There is an available DSP engine
that functions as the processing card for the addition of an E-Series surface to any SAT-E frame.
If more then 16x16 stereo I/O is required, an additional frame may be added for a 32x32 stereo (64x64
mono) I/O configuration. The SAT-E can house 2 GPI cards for up to 24 GPI logic ports per frame.
Another addition to the Evolution Series is the GLASS-E Console, a software application that is
installed on a standard Windows XP PC which allows the user to control any Evolution control surface
from a remote location through a LAN or WAN. The GLASS- E graphically replicates the associated
control surface with the IP address to which it is appointed. All functions and features can be controlled
or accessed through the GUI interface: On/Off, fader level, buss assign, programmable buttons, surface
presets, source changes and system configurations through defined passwords.
Microsat Audio & Control Frame
The MICROSAT MCS-8 is a 1 RU extension frame for the Bridge or Evolution Digital Audio Network
product lines. This single rack mount frame accepts two 4 stereo channel input cards and two 4 stereo
outputs cards, (8x8 stereo, 16x16 mono) in any configuration of analog or digital. The MICROSAT also
contains 6 universal GPI logic ports for machine control or third party interface. Features include: RJ-
45 (CAT 5) connection to Wheatstone Bridge or Evolution Networks, up to 2 inputs cards and 2 output
cards (16x16 signals) and 6 bi-directional logic ports, all in a 1 RU space.
WIREZE Interconnect System
The WIREZE system from Wheatstone terminates field wiring by using WIREZE rack mount panels.
Each single RU panel is available in flush or recessed mounting and is loaded with industry standard
audio connections on the front. The rear of the unit has the appropriate number of DB-25F connectors
ready to terminate to your Wheatstone or Audioarts equipment. They are available with 8 XLR-M, 8
XLR-F, 8 RJ45-F, 16 RJ45-M, 16 RCA-F, and Phoenix connectors.
Audioarts Air-2+ Radio Console
The new Audioarts Air-2+ Radio Console is designed for small market stations such as college radio
and worships facilities that are seeking high-end features at a lower price point. Features include:
Phone Channel with TB, 2 Stereo Busses, and Separate Control Room / Studio Monitoring.
Audioarts W-12
The W-12 digital audio console is designed for On-Air use targeted at small and mid market radio. The
W-12 has enhanced audio performance with a familiar layout for ease of use, and a feature list that
includes: 3 Stereo Busses (each with analog and digital outputs), 2 Mic Preamps and 10 Stereo Line
A/B Analog or Digital Inputs.
New Signal Processors from Vorsis
Wheatstone’s Vorsis® division of digital signal processing continues to expand and now includes the
FM-5 and AM-5hd single rack space units.
Features include:
selectable all-pass filter for making voice material more symmetrical;
adjustable input high pass filter;
automatic audio source failover on analog and digital audio inputs;
separate audio input gains for analog and digital inputs;
downward expander to clean up noisy source material;
four band parametric equalization (may be placed before or after multiband section);
five band linear phase crossover with adjustable crossover points;
sophisticated program-controlled AGC/compressor/limiter for each frequency band;
separate FM and HD output final limiters;
FM output has multiplex encoder with selectable composite clipper, multiplex filter, and twin composite
outputs;
HD output has adjustable look-ahead limiter and audio phase reversal option;
