The Wheatstone L-8-EQ Digital Audio Control Surface brings high precision and exceptional control to broadcast audio environments, designed specifically for settings that demand reliability under tight deadlines. This 8-fader console, built on the trusted foundation of the LX-24, offers a streamlined and effective solution, perfect for news production, voiceover sessions, and other critical audio applications.
Each fader on the L-8-EQ accesses four stereo output buses, a stereo cue bus, and features individual Bus-Minus control, providing unparalleled flexibility for complex audio production environments. The integrated EQ MOD 083205 enhances each channel with advanced audio shaping tools, placing comprehensive sound control directly at your fingertips for superior audio quality.
The console’s design promotes operational efficiency with an OLED source name display, A/B source selectors, and programmable soft buttons. The inclusion of a SET button and snapshot functionality makes it easy to adjust settings quickly and recall configurations, ideal for fast-paced environments where production settings often change.
For superior monitoring and feedback, the L-8-EQ is equipped with a meter bridge featuring high-resolution LED meters and a digital timer for precise broadcast monitoring. It also includes outputs for control room and headphones, each with individual level controls and source selection, as well as an independent studio monitor output, ensuring detailed audio feedback and monitoring throughout the production process.
Fully compatible with the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, the L-8-EQ allows for seamless integration and flexible source assignment from anywhere within the network to any fader. The integration is further enhanced by the included Console Audio BLADE, with options to expand I/O capabilities through additional BLADEs, supporting both digital and analogue formats.
Going beyond basic mixing, the L-8-EQ offers advanced EQ and dynamics control, allowing users to visualise EQ curves and dynamics settings on the graph display. With dedicated controls for compression, expansion, and fine-tuning EQ settings across specific frequency bands, this console ensures precise audio manipulation for professional output.
