When Livewire is enabled, the corresponding Nx12 Analog or AES3 inputs are switched-off. However, should a Livewire input fail; the Nx12 automatically switches the input to Analog/ AES, providing a back-up.

On the other hand, the Nx12 analog/AES outputs will be simultaneously active when Livewire is enabled.

These are identical to the Livewire Node options. They should normally be left at the default values.

Axia Consoles

Axia mixing consoles are based on Livewire. This networked approach delivers many advantages, among them that Livewire connections are bi-directional, multi-channel, and include control. This means that a single RJ-45 can interface all necessary Nx12 signals to an Axia console. Livewire simplifies mix-minus because each channel is two-way – so return feeds are “baked-in” and not an afterthought.

Axia is a division of Telos, so as you could imagine, we take good care of phones and codecs in our mixing consoles. Easy-to-use mix-minuses are available on every fader channel. Separate on-air and off-line (recording) mix-minuses are supported. Each channel has a dedicated Talkback. There is a one-button off-line record mode.

And there are dedicated modules for phone control. These provide seamless integration, since they communicate with the Nx12 over the same Ethernet that is used for all other connections. Both USA-style operation with the well-known Telos two-column line selector approach and Euro-style with dedicated faders to each Telco line are available.
