Wheatstone ip88-3 Analogue - Digital Blade IP Audio Console

The IP88AD is a combined analog and AES digital input/output BLADE. It handles input and output, each with 8 stereo channels, 16 mono channels, or any combination totaling 16 discrete channels. Half of these are analog, the other half AES digital.

I/O BLADEs are far more than mere access units connecting studios, elements and Wheatstone control surfaces in the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network. Yes, I/O BLADEs convert audio and logic inputs to data streams on the network and convert outgoing data streams to hardware outputs. But these 1RU I/O units ? which come in analog, digital and analog/digital I/O units - also have intelligence inside. Each I/O BLADE comes with a CPU and operating system so you can do amazing things with your audio network, starting with routable mixing, logic-follow-audio and a whole lot more.

Standalone Input / Output router with 4 stereo analog inputs (8 mono), 4 AES-3 digital inputs and 4 stereo analog outputs (8 mono), 4 AES-3 digital outputs. Internal audio clip player. Internal DSP audio processing channel. Interface via DB25 or RJ-45 connections. 12 assignable GPIO logic ports. Network multiple I/O Blades through gigabit Ethernet switch.
