Axia 2001-00550-000 Quasar Frame

Modular Console Frame Built for the Axia Quasar Family

The Axia 2001-00550-000 Quasar Frame provides the structural foundation for all Quasar Family AoIP mixing consoles. Designed with flexibility in mind, these hardware frames range in size from 2.5U to 7.5U, supporting everything from compact desk installs to full-scale broadcast studio configurations. This is the frame that houses and organizes all your surface modules, enabling you to build a custom console tailored to your workflow and environment.

Frame Sizes to Match Any Studio Layout

From smaller control rooms to large production spaces, the range of available frame sizes allows you to scale your console to fit your needs. Choose from multiple frame heights to match your number of surface modules or available desk space. Whether you’re outfitting a mobile setup or building out a flagship on-air studio, these frames offer a consistent and ergonomic solution across all Quasar consoles.

Touchscreen Interface Built Into the Console Surface

Each frame is engineered to support the Quasar's integrated touchscreen interface, eliminating the need for external displays. Operators benefit from a clear, intuitive control layout right on the console, accessible through an HTML5-based interface that can also be managed remotely. This streamlined design helps reduce equipment clutter while maintaining full control of all console functions.

Silent Operation with Fanless Chassis Design

Designed for quiet studio environments, the Quasar Frame uses a fanless design, keeping operational noise at zero. That’s a critical feature in broadcast and recording studios where silence is essential. The passive airflow and efficient thermal management let you focus on your mix without background noise interfering with your work.

Supports Custom Surface Module Configurations

The tray inside each frame accommodates various Quasar surface modules, giving you the freedom to configure your control surface exactly the way you want. Arrange your faders, monitor modules, and touch controllers where they make the most sense for your team’s workflow. Plus, with user-assignable buttons available both on each strip and the touchscreen master, operators can tailor the surface for their exact needs.

Redundant Power Supply Integration for Uninterrupted Control

Each Quasar Frame supports a redundant power supply setup, ensuring continuous console operation even if one power source fails. Load balancing between supplies adds an extra layer of reliability, making this frame ideal for mission-critical broadcasting environments where uptime is non-negotiable.

Optimized Ergonomics Based on Broadcaster Feedback

Every detail of the Quasar Frame was designed in response to real-world feedback from studio professionals. The absence of a headband allows screens to be positioned closer to the user at the bottom edge of the console surface, improving visibility and comfort. This ergonomic improvement is ideal for long production sessions or multi-screen setups where layout flexibility is key.
