The MX36 has been designed to offer a uniquely simple solution to the long-standing problem of routing of multiple mixing consoles outputs to a speaker system / system processor. When you need to ensure that the show goes on, no matter what happens, you need backups of backups. You need a way to automatically switch between them when the signal path drops out. You need the ability to work with any sample rate on any AES input. To perform this across not just stereo pairs, but four channels simultaneously (L/R/FF/Sub). No need for control software, no PC and no way for this to be tampered with remotely. You don’t want to be trusting this to an inferior sub-mixer or an over-specified, over-complex processor – get the right tool for the job. The MX36 Mix Switcher is the solution. It handles four simultaneous inputs across three source types (analogue, AES and Dante – 36 individual inputs) and even when you’re not monitoring a source it will be. It will be checking the signal integrity and will auto-select the highest priority source seamlessly if anything fails. All you have to do is press A, B or C to choose what’s routed to the four outputs (all available in analogue, AES and Dante simultaneously with the option for external sync) - they can be summed if required. In addition the MX36 features a stereo source direct input for background music and a mic input for announcements. A monitor section with headphone output can be used for montioring every individual feed from any source, plus checking the outputs and even verify the redundancy failovers beforehand. To protect the settings against unwanted changes the MX36 controls can be locked. XTA’s 25+ years of DSP knowledge ensures that the audio is treated with kid gloves through the best audio conversion.
