AEQ FORUM
Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications
4
1. INTRODUCTION.
1.1. General overview.
AEQ FORUM is a digital audio mixer for Broadcast applications, specifically designed for ON
AIR applications and highly adaptable to different operational situations. It incorporates all the
basic features needed in such environments: automatic monitors muting, cough muting, fader-
start, signalling control, control signals for external equipment automation, management of
external communications, intercoms, etc.
The modular design and reduced size makes this mixer perfectly adaptable to many different
scenarios: self-control, control-studio, audio control in television, sound production, mixed
configurations, integration in large systems, etc.
One of the main qualities of AEQ FORUM is the extensive internal routing capacity which
provides: up to 64 inputs/outputs for analogue, digital or microphone audio signals, and another
64 input/output multichannel audio over a MADI link (in order to activate this function you must
purchase a user license).
NOTE: The exterior of the equipment and some screens or displays may vary depending on
version.
The power of control and simplicity are combined in AEQ FORUM to cover both basic and
advanced operating needs, starting with a 4 faders control surface that can easily be expanded
to 8 or 12 faders.
All basic functions of activation, level adjustment and routing have their specific controls on
each channel of the FORUM surface, while less common adjustments are included in a set of
contextual controls common to all channels and accessible with just one or two keystrokes:
simplicity and clarity of use for dynamic control without handling error.
The flexibility offered through the configuration of the AEQ FORUM enables the free assignment
of any audio input of the system to any control channel, and changing the distribution of signals
from the surface itself or the associated configuration software.
The AEQ FORUM digital mixer includes memory banks that store the settings for each signal:
control surface signal distribution, routing to the output buses, management of parameters and
activation of the different available audio processes. This allows the console to adapt easily to
different programs with different technical requirements.
Its two Ethernet ports enable the local or remote interconnectivity, facilitating set-up and
maintenance, monitoring and control.
Forum has also been designed to ensure interoperability with communications equipment and
future developments by AEQ or other manufacturers.
