Introducing the Wheatstone M4IP-4USB, a cutting-edge 4-channel microphone processing unit designed to streamline your audio operations. This powerful Blade 4 device integrates all essential studio functions into a single AoIP (Audio over IP) environment, making it an indispensable tool for modern audio professionals. Featuring advanced codecs and comprehensive mixing capabilities, the M4IP-4USB is engineered to elevate studio workflows and enhance audio quality.
The Wheatstone M4IP-4USB is equipped with selectable Opus, MP3, and AAC codecs, allowing for smooth integration of audio from remote venues or home studios directly into your main studio setup. These codecs are fully routable within the native AoIP environment, removing the need for additional studio hardware and simplifying your overall configuration.
Fully compliant with AES67 and supporting SMPTE ST 2110, including the NMOS discovery standard, the Blade 4 ensures broad interoperability with various AES67 networks and devices. This compliance guarantees that your studio is future-proof, ready to meet current broadcast standards and seamlessly integrate with upcoming advancements in broadcast technology.
The Wheatstone M4IP-4USB features two 8×2 stereo utility mixers, enabling online mixing of sounds or seamless transitions between feeds. A routable stereo processor, complete with a parametric equaliser, compressor, and limiter, offers precise sound shaping for high-quality audio output across any broadcast.
This unit isn’t just about audio processing; it simplifies studio control as well. With dual Ethernet ports for fail-safe redundancy, integrated audio clip players for both compressed and uncompressed files, and extensive logic ports for customisable control, the M4IP-4USB packs a lot of functionality into a single rack unit.
The Wheatstone M4IP-4USB consolidates audio processing, mixing, codecs, and control into one compact AoIP unit. This integration saves valuable rack space, reduces costs associated with cabling and cooling, and optimises your studio’s audio operations.
