Generation Series : G-6

One of our most popular control surfaces, the Generation 6 embodies the feature set of the series’ larger surfaces into a studio-friendly footprint. In addition to standard features such as: 4 stereo mix buses, 8 Mix minus busses and 8 character fader displays, the Generation 6 offers an expanded number of AUX sends and increased PRESET options to boost save-recall capability. This control surface also offers the highly requested built in high-resolution LED VU Meter Bridge. The G-6 is available in 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 or 24 fader configurations.

The Generation series of control surfaces utilize popular and highly reliable TDM-based Wheatstone Bridge technology to provide tried-and-true audio I/O routing, mixing, and audio networking. The system is flexible in both configuration and size and can easily be expanded to host over 3,000 x 3,000 audio cross points.

The Bridge System has four different frame sizes available to accommodate different system needs. They are the Bridge, Satellite, E-SAT, and MicroSAT frames. Each can accommodate various I/O cards to meet the requirements of TOC and studio installations.

The TDM-based architecture of the Wheatstone Bridge system ties the elements of large audio systems together with the Bridge acting as the central routing switch for the audio to and from studios and TOC racks.

Multiple levels of redundancy is a hallmark of TDM-based Wheatstone Bridge audio networking technology. Redundant systems can consist of many possible combinations of redundant control surfaces, control surface CPUs, redundant DSP hosts, and even redundant Bridge chassis that can be connected together via dual Cat-5 links. Virtually any system can be custom configured to provide full redundancy with automatic and instantaneous switchover in the unlikely event of a single point system failure.
