Product Details

IN 1987 AEQ INTRODUCED ITS FIRST AUDIO MIXER FOR BROADCAST.

• In the past 20 years, AEQ has sold thousands of consoles, spanning a total of nine different models. Each console provided reliability, unparalleled functionality, and superb sound quality. Many of AEQ's consoles from the 1980s are still in operation and working to this day. Our many years of experience in manufacturing consoles is the bases for the new OPERA; an analog console for medium-large radio stations, where superior performance and reliability are expected for years to come.

FRIENDLY USER OPERATION:

• OPERA’S  logical configuration and distribution of controls allows the operator to easily and quickly master its functionality. The automatic disconnect, signaling etc, simplify the operator’s workload.

EASY MAINTENANCE:

• OPERA’S modularity allows and easily replacement of modules in just minutes.And,its high quality electronic components insure a long MTBF

MODULARITY:

• OPERA can be configured to the user’s specific requirements. In the standard configuration, OPERA’s microphone / line modules are equalized. OPERA’S standard configuration can easily be upgraded by adding new modules .Of special note is the digital telephone hybrid and its frequency extension and multiplex functionality.

Basic Design Concepts:

The AEQ OPERA Audio Mixing Console has been designed, mainly, to be used in radio broadcast studios, as well as in OB-vans, local TV and audio installations where the quality and reliability are basic factors.

Its design and configuration assures a fast assimilation of the functions by the user. The logical distribution of the controls and the automatic functions of monitoring mute and signalling, simplifies the operators labour.
