NETWORKING

and digital signals are merged seamlessly; cross-point switching

from any source to any destination is fast and easy.

Axia architecture is lightning-fast. Total input-to-output latency

is less than 1ms. per network hop, enabling transmission of live

audio without discernible delay. PC-based audio applications

can send and receive digital audio using Ethernet — no sound

cards needed. The Axia network can carry all your other routine

network trafﬁc as well, like RDS information, messaging and ﬁle

transfers, at the same time as your audio. Audio, of course, takes

the highest priority and never misses a beat.

Axia’s modular approach gives you signiﬁcant advantages over

traditional wiring and routing systems. Not only is installation

time slashed from weeks to days, the small amount of cable

makes it easy and cost-efﬁcient to move your Axia system to a

new location should the need arise.

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 opera-

tion. By taking advantage of the efﬁciencies of computer net-

working, Axia simpliﬁes, saves you money, gives you choices,

and prepares you for the computer and data-centric studios of

today — and tomorrow.

xNODES: COMPACT, MOUNT-ANYWHERE

NETWORKED AUDIO INTERFACES.

Until the day that all professional audio equipment comes with

an Ethernet jack, a way to interface conventional audio equip-

ment with Livewire networks is needed. That’s where the Axia

family of xNode audio adapters comes in. There are ﬁve versions:

» Analog XNode

» AES/EBU XNode

» Microphone xNode

» GPIO xNode

» Mixed Signal xNode with a blend of Mic,

Analog, AES and GPIO.

All xNodes feature a high-resolution OLED front panel display

and two “soft” buttons to provide status information and assist

with initial setup, and a multi-color LED that gives at-a-glance

information about the xNode’s power conﬁguration. To ensure

ultra-reliable network operations and extremely low delay,

xNodes run Linux on an embedded processor, and a built-in

web server in each node gives you remote conﬁguration and

control – in an intuitive, easy-to-understand manner – using

any standard Web browser.

xNODES ARE DESIGNED FOR PEACE OF MIND.

Each xNode is equipped with two 100Base-T Ethernet connec-

tions, allowing two connections to the network switch fabric.

Should the active connection fail – due to an unplugged cable

or other problem – output is automatically, seamlessly switched

to the second Ethernet connection. Likewise, xNodes can draw

power from two sources: the fanless internal, auto-switching

power supply, or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) from the network

switch. Should mains power be interrupted, the xNode pow-

ers itself using PoE; again, automatically and seamlessly. (Each

xNode model is also available in a PoE-only version suitable for

deployment in hard-to-access areas where mains power is not

available.) There’s even SNMP support to keep you informed of

what’s going on.

xNODES ARE CONVENIENT.

For example, a microphone xNode placed in a studio can collect

audio from microphones and also provide outputs to associat-

ed studio monitors and headphones. An xNode in the rack room

can collect audio from network feeds, codecs and other shared

sources for system-wide use while providing handy outputs for

audio processors and other terminal-room gear.

xNODES ARE EASY TO DEPLOY.

When you connect an xNode to your network, it automatically

prompts you to give it an ID. Then, derives a unique static IP ad-

dress, and even gives names to its sources and outputs (which

you can edit later, from the comfort of your computer). All you

have to do is connect devices to the inputs, and it advertises

that its audio sources are available for use, allowing any users

access to them. Installing xNodes is easy — just place them near

your audio source and destination devices, and distribute them

throughout your facility wherever it’s convenient. Place them in

cabinets or under desks; rack-mount them singly, or in pairs, with

an optional rackmount kit (two xNodes ﬁt side-by-side in a single

RU) — even attach them ﬂat to a wall or under a countertop, using

the optional surface-mount kit.

xNODES PROVIDE SUPERIOR AUDIO QUALITY.

Not only are xNodes capable of operating at a network sampling

rate of 48 kHz, they also employ high-resolution 32-bit ﬂoating-

point SRC chips. xNodes produce a “sweeter,” more natural audio

quality — clients routinely tell us of noticeable sonic improve-

ments after the installation of their Axia network.
