Axia 2001-00553-000 Quasar XR/SR Table-Top Frame

Frame-Only Hardware Foundation for Axia Quasar Consoles

The Axia 2001-00553-000 Quasar Frame is the essential structure that supports all Quasar Family AoIP mixing consoles. Offered as an empty frame, it provides the core housing for your modular console configuration, allowing you to build the surface layout that best fits your production workflow. This specific unit includes the frame only—surface modules like faders, monitoring, and SmartKeys are sold separately. Power supply unit(s) are included, making it ready for integration into your system from day one.

Compatible with Quasar XR and Quasar SR Consoles

This frame is designed to accommodate both Quasar XR and Quasar SR systems, offering full compatibility with your chosen configuration. Quasar XR frames can support up to 64 faders when using multiple linked frames, while the Quasar SR configuration can scale to 32 faders. This flexibility makes it ideal for radio, television, or production studios that need a customizable control surface tailored to their size and operational demands.

Available in Sizes from 2.5U to 7.5U for Modular Flexibility

With frame sizes ranging from 2.5U to 7.5U, each unit supports a combination of a Master Module and 4 to 24 fader modules. These variable sizes allow studios to tailor the console to fit available desk space or operator preferences without sacrificing channel control. Whether you're building a compact broadcast booth or a full-featured production hub, there’s a frame size to meet your needs.

Modules Sold Separately for Custom Surface Layouts

The flexibility of this system lies in its modular design. The frame supports a variety of Quasar modules—including the MTS-MON monitor module, XR-4FAD fader banks, MF1-ACC master modules, and SmartKey button panels—each sold separately. This lets users assemble a layout that matches their preferred workflow, control priorities, and operator roles.

Includes Integrated Power Supply for Seamless Setup

Unlike other frame-only offerings that require additional purchases, each 2001-00553-000 Quasar Frame includes the necessary power supply unit(s). This ensures the console frame is powered and ready to integrate into your Axia network right out of the box. The built-in power solution simplifies installation and minimizes the need for external components or extra rack space.

Designed for Modern Broadcast and Production Environments

Built for real-world applications, the Quasar frame’s sleek, low-profile chassis fits comfortably in studio furniture and is optimized for long operational hours. Its fanless design ensures silent performance in noise-sensitive environments, making it a practical choice for both live on-air rooms and post-production studios. Headband-free construction allows operators to place screens closer to the edge of the console for better visibility.
