E-Series E-6 is a console control surface that interfaces with Wheatstone’s WheatNet-IP networking and routing system via a single CAT6 cable. No audio is routed or mixed in the surface itself. As a networked system, the console can access any source in your entire complex, sharing remote codecs or bringing up another studio’s program bus on the console. A user-supplied high-resolution graphic display monitor can provide vivid VU and peak level indication, as well as in-depth control and programming of the console.
The E-6 control surface embodies a robust feature set for complex on-air or production application to bring maximum control to minimum space with exceptionally intuitive operation. A touchpad and VGA monitor allow you complete access to an incredibly rich range of features.
In addition to standard features such as 4 stereo mix buses, 4 mix-minus buses, 4 AUX buses and 8 character fader displays, the E-6 offers bus-minus on all faders with talkback, optional EQ/Dynamics on every channel (and with user recall for talent EQ settings), split headphone feed,100 presets and user login with privilege settings. The E-6 meter bridge uses a standard VGA monitor, which also displays surface information such as EQ/Dynamics, panning information and AUX bus settings. The E-6 control surface is equipped for both on-air and production studios and is available in 4, 8 or 12, 16, 20 or 24 fader configurations.
