Frame-Only Housing for Axia Quasar Console Systems
The Axia 2001-00554-000 is an empty frame designed as the core structural element for Quasar Family AoIP mixing consoles. It provides the mounting space for control surface modules and supports modular customization to match your operational needs. This specific unit is a frame-only purchase, intended to house fader, monitor, and control modules sold separately. Included with the frame are two Quasar Power Supply Units, offering dual redundancy right out of the box.
Multiple Frame Sizes Available to Fit Any Studio
The Quasar Frame lineup includes sizes ranging from 2.5U to 7.5U, making it easy to scale your console to the needs of your space. Smaller frames support a Master Module with up to 4 faders, while larger configurations accommodate up to 24 faders in a single frame. This flexibility is ideal for engineers building custom layouts across broadcast control rooms, live production environments, or compact on-air booths.
Supports Quasar XR and Quasar SR Console Configurations
Engineered to work with both the Quasar XR and SR product lines, this frame enables a wide range of configurations. Quasar XR supports expansion up to 64 faders by linking multiple frames, while Quasar SR can accommodate up to 32 faders. This allows broadcasters to scale console control based on the size and complexity of the show, whether running a large network facility or a smaller regional station.
Modular System Offers Custom Surface Layouts
This frame is designed to integrate seamlessly with Axia’s modular approach. Users can combine it with surface modules such as the XR-4FAD fader banks, MF1-ACC master modules, MTS-MON monitor modules, and SmartKey button panels (all sold separately). Each module snaps into place, giving users full control over how the console surface is arranged for maximum efficiency and operator comfort.
Includes Two Power Supply Units for Redundancy
Reliability is crucial in mission-critical audio environments, and this frame includes two Quasar Power Supply Units to ensure uninterrupted operation. Redundant power allows the system to maintain functionality in the event of a power failure, a must-have for broadcast studios that can’t afford downtime during live production or streaming.
Quiet and Efficient for Studio Integration
The fanless design of the Quasar Frame ensures quiet operation—an important detail in sound-sensitive environments like on-air radio control rooms, production studios, and podcast spaces. The low-profile build also allows better screen positioning and ergonomic control surface setups, especially helpful in multi-screen or compact desk environments.
Frame-Only Unit with Modules Sold Separately
This listing is for the 2001-00554-000 frame only. Surface modules such as fader panels, monitor controllers, and SmartKey strips are sold separately to allow full customization. The product image may show a complete console for reference, but this purchase includes the frame and two power supply units only.
