A Turn The Table Tuesday Like No Other!

The Axia Console sitting in place at TWiT Cottage.Leo is so impressed with his new Telso Axia Element Control Console, he decided to make it his pick for this Turn The Table Tuesday. If you thought Leo was a little nutty when he would pick gadgets that cost almost a thousand dollars, wait until you hear the price tag this week’s pick! I turn to info I found on the Official TWiT Wiki, http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/Equipment
It’s a brand new audio console (mixer): Telos Axia Element control console and accompanying Powerstation processing unit. This equipment is on loan to Leo from Axia. Total cost of the Axia equipment, if it was purchased, is about $43,000 according to Axia representative Kirk Harnack, and the installation and tweaking labor would be about $7000.
What Leo said on the Daily Giz Wiz is that he loves the simplification of wiring for the TWiT cottage studio. There are dozens, or even hundreds of wires for a standard console. But it’s totally different for the connection panel of an Axia Element. Since the Axia mixing engine handles all the mixing, only one eight-pin connector is necessary! Pretty amazing, huh? I know you won’t be running out to purchase your own Axia system right now, but if you’re a studio professional, maybe you should!
