Axia 2001-00551-000 Quasar Frame

Modular Frame Backbone for Axia Quasar Console Systems

The Axia 2001-00551-000 Quasar Frame forms the essential foundation for all Quasar Family AoIP mixing consoles. Available in sizes from 2.5U up to 8.5U, this rugged frame houses the various surface modules that make up your custom digital console. Whether you’re configuring a compact operator desk or a full-sized studio control surface, this frame is where it all comes together—power, interface, control, and reliability.

Wide Range of Frame Sizes to Fit Any Studio Layout

Flexibility is built into every detail of the Quasar Frame lineup. With available sizes ranging from 2.5U to 8.5U, you can tailor your console configuration to fit your specific studio dimensions and operational needs. Whether you're outfitting a tight workspace or a multi-operator control room, these frames give you the freedom to scale your installation accordingly.

Touchscreen Interface and Remote Access Compatibility

Each Quasar Frame supports Axia's integrated touchscreen interface, removing the need for external monitors. Operators can interact directly with the console’s on-board display or access the same control remotely through a responsive HTML5 browser interface. This integrated design streamlines your workspace while making remote control and management simple and reliable.

Fanless Design for Silent Studio Operation

In noise-sensitive environments like radio broadcast studios and production suites, silence is golden. The Quasar Frame features a fanless chassis that ensures zero noise output, even under continuous operation. This makes it ideal for placement in on-air rooms or critical recording environments where background noise must be avoided.

Customizable Module Layout for Operator Efficiency

The internal tray accepts a wide range of Quasar surface modules, giving engineers and producers full control over layout and ergonomics. From channel faders to master modules, every piece can be arranged to match your specific workflow. Assignable buttons on each strip and the touchscreen master module allow users to create shortcuts that streamline daily tasks and reduce repetitive navigation.

Redundant Power Support Built In for Broadcast Reliability

For mission-critical broadcast systems, redundancy isn’t optional—it’s required. That’s why the Quasar Frame is engineered to support redundant power supplies. If one source goes offline, the second takes over instantly, minimizing risk of audio loss or operational failure during live productions.

Low-Profile Design Maximizes Visual Line of Sight

One of the smartest features of the Quasar Frame is its headband-free construction. This design allows operators to place studio monitors or displays directly at the front edge of the console surface. It improves visual ergonomics and helps maintain a clear line of sight across the control room, especially important in visually intensive workflows like video switching or newsroom production.
