ABOUT AXIA AUDIO

But there’s much more to Axia than just the network. Once all of your consoles, peripheral devices and computer workstations are
connected together for unlimited sharing, it’s easy to add phone systems, audio processors, codecs, satellite receivers, program delay
units, or any audio device from the ever-growing list of Axia Partners. All of these devices work together in tight integration, which
leads to more intuitive and intelligent operation. By taking advantage of the efficiencies of computer networking, Axia simplifies,
saves you money, gives you choices, and prepares you for the computer and data-centric studios of today — and tomorrow.

WHAT'S BENEATH THE SURFACE

Like all Axia systems, iQ is customizable and scalable. The 20-input QOR.32 integrated console engine supports from 8 to 24 faders.
Start with the eight-fader iQ Main Frame, then add expansion frames with more faders and capabilities to tailor iQ to your studio’s
needs. iQ is perfect right out of the box for standalone studios. But, because it’s from Axia, it networks too: a Gigabit Ethernet connec-
tion allows you to load up to 12 audio streams from other studios, while sending up to 4 of your own streams to the network for use
elsewhere. Simple Networking lets you daisy-chain up to 4 iQ Cores without the need for an external Ethernet switch.

iQ has three stereo Program buses, plus a fourth stereo Program / Phone bus, Record Mode one-touch off-air recording, automatic
mix-minus (clean feed) for every fader, countdown event timer, and one-button access to up to four Show Profiles for instant “snap-
shot” recall of frequently-used console settings. Talkback functions let operators communicate with talent, guests, remote hosts and
telephone callers. Like all Axia consoles, iQ is over-engineered for long life with silky-smooth conductive-plastic faders, long-life rotary
encoders, high-resolution OLED meter and channel displays, aircraft-quality switches with LED lighting, beefy RF-proof extruded-
aluminum frames, and anodized surfaces with laser-etched markings that can’t ever rub off.

iQ MAIN FRAME:
The heart of your iQ console; can be installed as a standalone console or con-
nected to an Axia studio network. Has three dedicated stereo Program buses,
plus a stereo utility bus that can be used for phone calls, off-air recording, or as a
fourth Program bus, eight faders, automatic per-fader mix-minus, high-rez OLED
program meters and channel displays, Studio and Control Room monitor controls
and an integrated Talkback system. For bigger consoles, add one or more iQ ex-
pansion frames to build boards of up to 24 faders. Flexible mounting system al-
lows desktop, drop in and even rack-mounted operation.

iQ 8-FADER EXPANSION FRAME:

Double the size of your iQ instantly! Plugs into the QOR.32 integrated console
engine to add eight more faders to your iQ Main Frame. Like all iQ frames, it comes
equipped with Axia’s rugged anodized machined-aluminum surface, conductive-
plastic faders, aircraft-quality switches and LED key back-lighting.

iQ 6-FADER TELCO EXPANSION FRAME:

Puts integrated phone system control right where it belongs: on the console, to
help eliminate distractions and errors. Along with six long-life faders, this frame
includes on-the-board hybrid controls for our new Telos iQ6 six-line telephone
hybrid (more details opposite). The learning curve is low: exclusive Telos Status
Symbol readouts on sharp-as-a-tack OLED displays, along with familiar twin hy-
brid controls, make easy work of busy call-in segments.

iQ 6-FADER EXPANSION FRAME WITH USER KEYS:

Puts machine control and GPIO triggered routing commands at your operators’ fingertips
with this iQ expasion frame. In addition to six additional faders, 10 User Keys can be soft-
ware-mapped to control audio delivery systems, send contact closures or route GPIO
commands to studio devices.

QOR.32:
The QOR.32 integrated console engine is a DSP-based mixing engine with onboard I/O,
GPIO, console power supply and custom-built, configuration-free Ethernet switch. You’ll
find plenty of I/O, including 4 mic inputs with selectable Phantom power, 16 analog inputs,
2 AES/EBU inputs, 8 Analog outputs, 2 AES/EBU outputs, 8 GPIO machine-control logic
ports (each with 5 opto-isolated inputs and 5 outputs), and that powerful integrated
Ethernet switch with 6 Livewire 100Base-T ports (4 with PoE), 2 Gigabit ports (RJ-45 &
SFP), and 4 CANBus ports for console expansion. That’s a lot of I/O, but if you need more
you can instantly add it just by plugging in Axia Audio Nodes. And QOR.32 is convection-
cooled for utterly silent, fan-free operation.

QOR BACKUP POWER SUPPLY:

Want more power? You’ve got it. This hardened, auto-switching power supply is perfect for
facilities where redundant power backup is required. Connects to your QOR.32 in less than
a minute with a single cable that supplies failsafe backup power with automatic switchover
should the need ever arise.

EASY, NO-HASSLE SETUP, FOR STUDIOS BIG OR SMALL.

The QOR.32 integrated console engine includes onboard audio I/O, GPIO logic, console CPU, mix
engine, and a purpose-built, zero-configuration Ethernet switch designed expressly for IP-Audio
broadcasting. So all you have to do is connect console and Core, add inputs, name your sources
and start broadcasting. Whether you’re installing it at the center of a single studio or as part of
a larger networked facility, you’ll be pleased to find that iQ’s hassle-free installation helps get
you on the air faster than any other IP console.

FAST IP INSTALLATION

EASY STANDALONE INSTALLATION. SCALABLE STUDIO NETWORKING.

iQ comes equipped with the latest Axia technology — the QOR.32. It’s much more than just a simple power supply: QOR.32 is a self-
contained, integrated console engine. Its rock-solid, EM-tight chassis houses an ultra-reliable DSP mixing platform (not a common PC
motherboard) and a hardened power supply designed for unfailing service. In addition, QOR.32 contains all the audio and logic I/O you
need for a good-sized studio: mic inputs with switchable Phantom power, plenty of analog ins and outs, two pair of AES/EBU inputs
and outputs, and four GPIO ports for machine logic control of your studio devices. (Of course, if you need more I/O, it’s yours — just
connect Axia Audio Nodes to add I/O a la carte.

But that’s not all. Even though iQ is the perfect standalone console, it’s from Axia — so naturally, it networks. QOR.32 also hosts a
built-for-broadcast, zero-configuration Ethernet switch, so you can plug in Livewire network devices like phone systems, remote
codecs, audio processors, playout systems, satellite receivers and more. One CAT-5 connection provides the pathway for all required
audio and control data. There are two Gigabit ports too, so you can connect to other studios if you want. Simple Networking lets you
daisy-chain up to four QOR.32s without the need for an external Ethernet switch.

QOR.32 and the iQ Backup power supply are fan-free, too, for utterly silent in-studio operation.

FLEXIBLE MOUNTING OPTIONS.

iQ was designed to sit right on your desktop - no holes to measure or countertops to cut
(although you can flush-mount it if you like). Multiple frames can be left separate, or
easily joined using included hardware. You can even mount iQ Main Frame in a rack —
special faders slide smoothly, but stay put for vertically-mounted operation.

INFORMATION RICH.
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology is something Axia is pretty excited
about. Unlike ordinary LED or LCD displays, OLEDs are high-resolution displays that are
extremely bright, high-contrast, and razor-sharp. iQ designers placed an OLED at the bot-
tom of every fader and packed it with information: audio source display and selection,
pan, balance and backfeed settings, monitor and source gain settings and more. No ex-
ternal monitors to clutter up your studio — iQ puts the information your operators need
right where they expect it to be.

PLUG-AND-PLAY MUITI-LINE PHONE INTEGRATION.

Up to now, adding phone support to your console could be time-consuming. iQ6, the
Telco gateway from Telos designed for iQ, makes it simple: one CAT-5 connection and
hookup’s done.

iQ6 works with the iQ 6-Fader Telco expansion frame to give operators seamless, on-con-
sole control of incoming lines and callers. Take calls, dial out, step through pre-screened
callers without ever taking your hands or eyes off the board. Telos Status Symbols icons
tell you what’s what with just a glance.

You want off-console control? No problem. iQ6 also works with the built-in soft phone
that’s part of Telos’ new VX Producer software, or the Telos VSet12 phoneset.

iQ6 accepts POTS or ISDN phone lines, and comes equipped with two 3rd-generation
Telos hybrids with Digital Dynamic EQ. iQ6 also has new AEC Advanced Echo Cancellation
from Frauhnhofer Labs to eliminate open-mic feedback for hands-free conversations.

Since it’s part of the iQ system, iQ6 saves you money and time. It plugs right into your
QOR.32, eliminating the cost of discrete I/O, cabling and soldered connectors — one skin-
ny CAT-5 cable carries six lines’ worth of audio, hybrid control and backfeed.
