Description
The CAPITOL IP PLUS is a new digital audio broadcast mixing console, specifically designed for ON AIR control but adapts to a diversity of
workflows and functionalities.
It incorporates all the basic features required for such operations: automatic monitor muting, cough muting, fader start, control signalling,
control signals for automating external equipment, managing external communications, talkback or intercom functions, and more.
The console adapts perfectly to diverse scenarios, including auto-control, traditional Studio-Control operation, small TV audio production
controls, general sound production, mixed configurations, and integrates perfectly with AoIP Networked installations.
The CAPITOL IP PLUS
combines ergonomics, precision, and user-friendly control to meet both basic operational needs and the most demanding requirements.
All essential functions such as channel activation, level adjustment and routing are directly accessible on each channel of the CAPITOL IP PLUS
control surface. Gain adjustment ensures effective and precise regulation of reference audio levels for each channel, while less common
adjustments are grouped into a contextual control set on a 7” touchscreen, offering specific functions and detailed settings for each channel.
With just one or two taps on the display, the interface ensures simplicity and clarity for dynamic, error-free operation.
The flexibility of the AEQ CAPITOL IP PLUS configuration allows assigning any system input signal to any control channel and very simple
reconfiguration of signal distribution directly from the console surface.
The CAPITOL IP PLUS features a set of memory banks to store channel and signal settings, including the surface’ signal distribution, output bus
routing, signal processing parameters and their activations. This allows to create a “bespoke” console for example different programs with
diverse technical requirements.
