General Information
Introduction
The Wheatstone Evolution Series (E-Series) Digital Audio Network System is
comprised of several components interconnected via CAT links to achieve a very
cost effective networked audio system. Each studio operates independently, yet can
share all sources and mixes through the S-16 (S-8) E-Series Wheatnet Switch—
without traffic limitations, or machine control delays.
Start your system with a simple AES router with analog and/or digital inputs and
outputs. From there you can add logic I/O cards and scheduling software to
interface to your automation system. You can create a custom system that includes
up to sixteen E-Series Satellite (E-SAT) cages and to up to twelve digital E-series
control surfaces linked to the S-16 (S-8) E-Series Wheatnet Switch. Cages can be
separated by distances up to 100m (328’) with many studios connected to your
central rack room, providing shared resources, yet still permitting independently
functioning satellite studios, each with its own combination of analog and digital
input and output cards and connector modules specifically selected to suit a large
variety of gear. We also provide a full complement of Ethernet protocol remote
router control panels, as well as a complete family of plug-in modules that interface
the routing system to existing Wheatstone digital and analog stand-alone consoles.
