Axia xNode Compact IP – “GPIO xNode”

The Axia xNode “Mixed Signal” lightweight, half-rack, high-performance IP-Audio interface is packed with advanced features and capabilities. Thanks to one-touch configuration, a new xNode is ready to use in less than a minute. Because the unit operates without a fan, this means they are silent. Versatile mounting options allow you to place two xNodes in just 1RU of rack space, or on ceilings, walls and under counters with an available wall mount kit. Redundant power options (with AC-net and Power-over-Ethernet) and dual redundant network interfaces are included, both with automatic switching. The Axia GPIO xNode provides 6 general purpose logic ports for controlling studio and peripheral equipment. Also, the xNode is equipped with a relay for turning off speakers, signal lights, etc. etc. each with 5 opto-isolated inputs and outputs. A logic port can be attached to any audio input or output and transparently sends the control data along with the audio.
