D-75 STANDALONE AND D-75N NETWORKABLE DIGITAL AUDIO CONSOLES Flexible. Affordable. Built To Last. 2 It’s a good bet there’s not a single person in America, who’s listened to the radio in the last 10 years, who hasn’t heard an Audioarts radio console in action. That’s how pervasive and powerful this product line is. 3 Wheatstone D-75 STANDALONE DIGITAL AUDIO CONSOLE When it comes to radio consoles, Wheatstone’s Audioarts is Individual plug-in the de facto standard. And our D-75 is the state of the art. modules make It’s got everything you need to produce, air and manage all of installation and your programs.

Its rock-solid reliability, ease-of-use and exceptional audio quality fit the bill perfectly.” Dave Baker Operations Manager/VP Programming Miller Communications 6 7 8 More and more radio stations are utilizing organization-wide networking to Wheatstone D-75N enable sharing of programming and production resources. Nobody does NETWORKABLE DIGITAL AUDIO CONSOLE networking as well as Wheatstone. The D-75N is an enhanced version of Audioarts’ established D-75 digital audio console that permits integration with Wheatstone’s S-8 and S-16 Switches, as well as Wheatstone’s E-SAT I/O Cage for networking. It allows the D-75 (normally a standalone audio console) to access a digital audio network system on six of its input faders (other inputs continue to operate independently) thus providing considerable networked flexibility to an individual studio - the best of both worlds! Where standalone input channels have A/B dual source select switches, networked inputs have eight character SOURCE displays, SOURCE SELECT encoder knobs and TAKE buttons which allow selection of any source made available to the D-75N console via its CAT-5 network connector cable. In addition, the six router channels (collectively called the NET-75 panel) allow two local stereo analog sources to be made available to the network system. Two additional connectors make two networked router sources available to the console’s standalone input channels. At the same time the D-75N’s four output busses (Program, Audition, Auxiliary and Utility) are made available to the main router system through the console’s network CAT-5 link. If an optional phone module is present, caller input and feed mixes are also sent to the router system. As with the D-75, the D-75N is also available in two mainframe sizes: small (six hardwired plus six networked input channels) and large (fourteen hard- wired plus six networked input channels). Both versions can be outfitted with an optional two-caller phone module. Both mainframes come standard with two dual-mode LED VU meter pairs (PROGRAM and SWITCHED), clock and timer and a built-in cue speaker. Optional line select modules and tape remote panels are also available. 9 Wheatstone D-75N NETWORKABLE DIGITAL AUDIO CONSOLE ADMINISTRATION AND CONTROLLERS The Audioarts Network System is configured and administrated through Wheatstone’s X-Point graphic user interface (right). X-Point software permits easy access and set-up of source/destination crosspoints throughout your facility from one central point. All control is password protected with three levels of user access to safeguard the security of the system. The Administrative Level allows complete access and control of all sources and destinations throughout your complex, including hardware configuration, signal naming, I/O (source/destination) crosspoint switching and destination locking. The two lower level access modes are GUEST, which allows the user to view crosspoint status but does not permit any switching changes, and XYC GUI, which allows the logged in user to select crosspoints only. Signal visibility for lower level access is set by the Administrator. While you can control the system right from your desktop, it is often desirable to have simpler additional hardware controllers, such as the Ethernet XY or Hotbutton controllers pictured below, located throughout your facility. X-Y CONTROLLER This onscreen software module emulates a rackmounted X-Y Ethernet Rackmount XY Controller router controller, selecting pull- down sources and destinations based on signals available at the central digital audio router. Signal visibility is programmed via password-protected administrator level access.
