D-5.2
 |
Bus Structure:
Main Buses: One 5.1 Program + Stereo Down Mix (+2), Two Stereo Program, One Mono Program
Submasters: 8 Stereo, standard (can be optionally configured for 5.1)
Mix-Minus: 18 Mono; (direct assign from Inputs) with automatic confidence feed switching
Auxiliary Sends: 8 Stereo; (direct rotary control from fader channel)
Bus Minus: Direct mix-minus feed from every input fader channel
Outputs: Outputs from all buses and bus-minus are configured within the Bridge router matrix and can be analog, and/or digital, or not fitted.
Monitor Feeds: Two 5.1 (Audio Booth and Production Control), Six Stereo (5 Studio feeds, 1 Headphone feed)
The following are the signal proccessing functions provided with all input fader channels:
Phase Reverse
Surround Pan / Balance Control and Blend
Stereo Mode Control
4-Band, Parametric Equalizer with Variable High & Low Pass Filter, Tunable Notch Filter
Compressor / Limiter / Gate
Continuosly variable delay, scalable in frames or milliseconds up to 667 milliseconds (20 frames)
All controls for the above functions are conveniently placed in a central facilities panel located within easy reach.
Multiple Control Surface frame sizes available that can accommodate up to 128 input faders.
5.1 Spill: spills a surround source to adjacent faders for discrete LCRS-LFE remixing
Channel “Paging” function allows a 32 input fader control surface to control 64 mixing channels.
Variable Delay on all faders and mix outputs
|
Overview
Designed for applications that require large console features in a compact footprint, such as small control rooms or OB, the D-16 gives the operator control of all channel parameters in a clean logical layout without resorting to multiple layers of assignable controls.
A 32 Input fader, 64 channel system takes less than 50 inches (127 cm) of space.
When configured for dual layer operation, each input channel has two input source displays, one showing the current active channel, the other showing the channel one layer down, eliminating the need to “interrogate” a channel to determine source status.
While designed for tight spaces, multiple frame sizes allow you to spread out the layout as your space permits. |

Bus Minus: Direct mix-minus feed from every input fader channel
Outputs: Outputs from all buses and bus-minus are configured within the Bridge router matrix and can be analog, and/or digital, or not fitted.
Monitor Feeds: Two 5.1 (Audio Booth and Production Control), Three Stereo Studio feeds.

Mix-Minus: 8 Mono with automatic Confidence feed switching
Auxiliary Sends: 4 Stereo; (direct rotary control from fader channel)
Bus Minus: Direct mix-minus feed from every input fader channel
Outputs: Outputs from all buses and bus-minus are configured within the Bridge router matrix and can be analog, and/or digital, or not fitted.
Monitor Feeds: One 5.1 (Audio Booth), Two Stereo Studio, and One Stereo Headphone feed
No running PC required

4-Band, Parametric Equalizer with Variable High & Low Pass Filters
Variable Delay on all faders and mix outputs

Overview
The D-10 has ALL the controls needed right WHERE they’re needed, complete with well-lit switches and encoder lightpipes for fast visual confirmation no complicated layering or function sharing to surprise your operators.
It’s all instantly there: fader, primary bus assigns, bus-minus control, aux sends and channel gain. Only secondary functions (like equalization and dynamics) are centralized.
The D-10 has a well thought-out talkback system, eight subgroup mixes , as well as four DCMs (digitally controlled master/mute groups).
Plus eight mix-minus buses with a full confidence feed system. Subgroups, DCMs and Masters all have dedicated faders, so these functions are one step and error-free (no assignable faders utilized). |

Overview
Wheatstone features and performance for the mid- and small market facility the television console you always wanted but didn't think you could afford.
Fully featured, the D-8 incorporates an incredibly intuitive touchscreen for metering and for lesser used and set-and-forget controls. Up to 32 channels of mix-minus / N-1 outputs, surround panning, and per-channel delay are just a few of the requisite functions rarely found in consoles at this price.
Utilizing the same Wheatstone Bridge audio networking technology as the D-5.2, D-16, and D-10, the D-8 can be configured with any combination of analog and digital inputs. Those inputs can be mono mic or line, stereo, or 5.1. 5.1 and stereo output buses allow you to feed both your HD and SD program streams with no fuss.
