Quasar Consoles



Axia Quasar AoIP Mixing Console

With cosmic precision, otherworldly sound, and real star power, Axia’s new Quasar sixth-generation mixing console draws upon the Telos Alliance’s rich history as the inventor of AoIP for broadcast with more than 9,700 AoIP consoles on-air worldwide. Axia has channeled all that experience into this new flagship console, consolidating its native AoIP architecture and refining it for the ultimate user experience with limitless production possibilities for radio and specialized TV applications.

Quasar Engine

Quasar is powered by the all-new Quasar Engine, a native AoIP powerhouse with 64 Stereo channels, 4-band fully parametric EQ, powerful dynamics processing and automixer on every channel, four program buses and eight auxiliary buses. Four Surface Layers and a Virtual Mixer (VMix) with 16 independent 5-channel V-Mixers extend the mixing capacity of your Quasar console far beyond physical fader count. Support for AES67 is included, as well as Talent headphone processing and many other advanced features that make operation simpler and more intuitive. Redundant power is standard with this mix-engine platform. The Quasar Engine has a fan, while the Quasar console does not.

Quasar MTS-MON Module

Fader modules offer touch-sensitive controls and motorized faders as standard features, along with high-resolution bargraph metering for each fader, source-drive color-coding, and customizable hardware buttons on the entire surface. A variety of source profile types provide control of mic/line inputs, telephones, codecs and other devices. Enhanced, integrated features for phones and codecs include auto-assigned mix-minus on each channel, easy talkback for remote talent cueing, one-button off-air phone record mode, and integrated, touchscreen-based Telco line switching that can interface with Telos phone hybrids and VoIP/SIP talk-show systems.

Quasar XR-4FAD Module, Motorised

Fader modules offer touch-sensitive controls and motorized faders as standard features, along with high-resolution bargraph metering for each fader, source-drive color-coding, and customizable hardware buttons on the entire surface. A variety of source profile types provide control of mic/line inputs, telephones, codecs and other devices. Enhanced, integrated features for phones and codecs include auto-assigned mix-minus on each channel, easy talkback for remote talent cueing, one-button off-air phone record mode, and integrated, touchscreen-based Telco line switching that can interface with Telos phone hybrids and VoIP/SIP talk-show systems.

Quasar SR-4FAD Module

Quasar SR is the direct replacement for Axia’s best-selling Fusion console. If you like Fusion, you’ll love Quasar SR—which is comparable to the Fusion console in both price and feature set but also delivers all the power, ergonomics, industrial design, and star appeal of our flagship Quasar XR console.

Quasar Mic / Headphone Control Accessory Module

The Mic/Headphone Control Accessory Module provides remote control of mic on/off functions where dedicated Mute and Talkback buttons give talent full control of their position. A Volume/Source selection knob allows users to select their headphone monitor source and the display readout confirms their choice.

Quasar Motorized Fader Accessory Module

Quasar's Motorized Fader Accessory Module provides all of the functionality of the Mic/Headphone Module with the addition of a high-quality motorized fader that allows control of any of the Quasar Mic channels. With the features included, this module can effectively function as an additional channel strip for your surface, mountable in a remote location.

Quasar MIC IN/HP out Module 1CH

The Quasar Mic in/HP out Console Module is an optional 1ch-wide module that can be placed anywhere on the surface to add a convenient Talkback Input and headphone Output to your Quasar. It comes with its own headphone amp board that must be plugged into the Quasar Rear I/O module, to let the console receive any line signal and turn it into a high-quality, hi-power headphone output.

Axia Quasar Soft Remote Mixing Solution

Quasar Soft is a customizable remote control solution that lets you control the Quasar surface from your browser. You can generate up to eight HTML-5 pages and configure them to display any of the 64 input channels, plus a small monitor section, or even the entire master section of the console. Quasar Soft comes standard with Quasar XR consoles and is an optional upgrade for Quasar SR consoles. Included as part of the Quasar Soft license, Quasar Cast is a remote monitoring solution that lets you listen to any Livewire stream in the network through the same web browser. Quasar Cast generates a compressed OPUS stream from a source in the Livewire network and can serve up to eight clients (including Quasar Soft instances). With Quasar Cast, you can listen to what is happening in the studio, and on the air, while you operate the console remotely using Quasar Soft.
