Vumeter with a range of -12 dB to +12 dB
Indicator of: unbalanced signal, active equalization, active dynamics process and modified nominal gain
1.54″ TFT color display shows the name of the signal assigned to the channel, gain level, signal roll-off, mode and phase settings, and ONAIR status, among other functions
SELECT encoder for selection of the source to be controlled by the channel and signal balancing
PAGE programmable key: Page change: Up to 8 fader pages
Displays for fader modules
Change phase, mode, routing, sensitivity, phantom activation, or processes with a single click. Direct access to AUTOMIX and AUTOGAIN, the long name assigned to the active channel, routing and the name of active processes, among others. The process screens are touch screens but for more precision the TOUCH & TURN encoder is available. EQ, filter and compression processes can be edited on the graphic itself, or with the virtual faders below the graphic. All these functions are executed on demand on the screen of the control module.

Optional display associated with the control module
An optional module with a TFT display associated with the control module module makes it possible to incorporate the measurements required in the most harshest working environments: • Phase measurement in spatial format. • Loudness measurement according to EBU R128.
Allows the selection of the signal to be measured.
Receives the signal to be measured through a Dante link.
X_CORE Audio Engine
It is an audio engine, mixer, processor and distributor for broadcast. It acts as the heart of a single or set of ATRIUM consoles. It can also work as a general purpose audio matrix, as an intercom matrix, or with combined functionalities.
Configuration Software
ATRIUM Setup – Configuration Software
It’s an application that includes a wizard for quick configuration of a console by simply indicating the number and type of inputs and outputs required. The whole system is fully configurable and allows you to specify, among other things, the number and type of mixer buses, input channels, type of processing applicable to each channel of the console, output routing, etc…
Remote Control Software
ATRIUM Virtual – Remote Control Software
The full functionality of the physical control surface is available through this software application. Easy operation of switches, rotary encoders, displays and faders.
