Telos Alliance expands AoIP with release of StudioCore & StudioEdge

Telos Alliance is offering two new products from its Axia line of audio-over-IP (AoIP) studio consoles and accessories.

StudioCore serves as a brand-new console engine for Axia iQ, Radius, RAQ, and DESQ surfaces and it is the successor to the long-running QOR.32 engine. It maintains the proven 24-channel mixing engine from QOR.32, as well as an internal power supply and 5-port Ethernet switch.

Moreover, it offers an eight-channel monitor matrix system and offers a Livewire+ AES67 stream capacity of 32 inputs and 32 outputs, removing the stream count limitation of the QOR.32. 

The optional Core Soft remote-control solution provides HTML5 browser-based control of StudioCore, allowing it to function as a standalone mixer (with or without a hardware control surface), control a connected iQ surface, and serve as an in-browser monitor for the control-room monitor output.

StudioEdge is a high-density I/O device designed to complement the Axia xNode2 family of products. It can be used as an all-in-one I/O solution in control rooms of any size, or as an ingest station or routing and monitoring solution in technical operations centres (TOCs) and machine rooms. 

StudioCore and StudioEdge are built on a common 2RU fanless hardware platform that includes an integrated 5-port Ethernet switch with PoE and a 5-inch colour IPS LCD touchscreen display for complete local control of routing, I/O, and audio levels. 

Luca LaRosa, Senior Project Manager, Telos Alliance, explained, “StudioCore is really an all-in-one platform for the broadcast studio, packing a very high-quality audio I/O endpoint, an AoIP switch, and a console mixing engine into a single 2RU fanless chassis; with the Studio Core option it can also serve as a standalone mixer, either with or without a hardware mixing surface.

“Both StudioCore and StudioEdge provide the flexible architecture our customers have been asking for, with features like an I/O expansion slot, USB Audio I/O, two powerful headphone amps, and a built-in USB file player.”
