AEQ FORUM
Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications
6
2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT.
AEQ FORUM is a self-contained, compact digital mixing console, which means that its two
functional blocks are housed in the same physical chassis. On one hand the control surface,
where the controls and status indicators are located and on the other, the "audio engine" which
contains all electronics for audio inputs and outputs as well as routing blocks, summing and
processing.
Both functional blocks will be separately described below.
2.1. Description of the control surface.
Control surface is the operators work area of the AEQ FORUM. All the operational organization,
management and implementation of the audio program is accomplished from this area. The
control surface incorporates all the keys, screens, faders, encoders and VU meters required to
easily operate the equipment.
There are two different areas on the AEQ FORUM control surface: the area that corresponds to
the audio channels controlled through faders (each module includes 4 faders) and the
"CONTROL AND MONITORING MODULE" which is normally located to the right.
2.1.1. Channels.
The control surface of AEQ FORUM is built on independent modules of 4 faders called "FRCH".
The control surface capacity can be expanded from a basic configuration of 4 channel faders to
8 and up to 12 channel faders.
The assignment of signals to channel faders on the AEQ FORUM is completely user definable.
It is possible to assign any signal to any channel fader at any time. This allows for the re-
distribution channels to adapt to different programs or operators.
In addition, different channel assignment of signals can be stored in memory to be used by
different users or applications.
In addition to the signals on channel faders present on the control surface that can be mixed,
processed and sent to any output channel, the AEQ FORUM is capable of routing and adjusting
the levels for other hidden signals up to 128x128 audio signals.
