DHD.audio has announced the introduction of the TX2, a new compact multitouch mixer designed for broadcast applications with a customizable interface that can be placed on a desktop or attached to a worksurface via a VESA-based connector, and it will be on display at the upcoming IBC 2022 show in Amsterdam (stand 8.B81).
“We have designed the TX2 for daily operation where space is at a premium, such as news desks, co-host panels, edit suites and SNG vehicles,” says Christoph Gottert, head of international sales for DHD. “It can be used standalone or as an easy way to extend any DHD system and provides access to a lot of features within a very small footprint, just 25.8 cm wide by 27 cm front-to-back. Its forward-sloping table-top panel includes a 10.1-inch capacitive multitouch IPS display, two assignable potentiometers and six silent multicolour hardware buttons, allowing professional audio mixing.”
Using companion Toolbox configuration software, TX2 operators or their support technician can create the mixer layout that best fits the required workflow. The number and size of faders can be configured, buttons can be assigned with the required functions, and peak meters can be configured to show specific channel signal levels.
Frequently used connectors for projects such as for telephone interviews or dubbing can be accessed on the mixer’s 5 cm high rear panel. These include an XLR microphone input, a 6.3 mm stereo headphone output, an analog stereo speaker output and a 3.5 mm mini-jack I/O which can be used as a smartphone port. With its built-in talkback microphone and loudspeaker, the TX2 can also be used as talkback unit or monitoring controller.
The TX2 connects to a core processor or concentrator via a single network cable that also carries all audio and control signals, plus power, up to 100 meters. The mixing panel can be used with XC3 or XD3 cores in isolation or as part of a larger mixing system and does not require a PC for operation.
