Axia 2001-00581-000 Quasar Engine RPS Base (16-Channel)

Standalone Broadcast Mixing Without a Physical Console

The Axia 2001-00581-000 Quasar Engine RPS Base is a 16-channel broadcast mixing engine designed to operate as a complete standalone mixer without requiring an XR or SR hardware surface. By moving core control and processing functions into the engine itself, it allows broadcasters to deploy professional Quasar mixing capabilities in environments where a traditional console is not practical or desired.

Master Module Functionality Built Into the Engine

Quasar Engine RPS integrates many of the features normally handled by the Quasar Master Module directly into the engine hardware. This design simplifies system architecture while preserving full routing, monitoring, and control functionality, making it ideal for compact studios, remote facilities, and virtualized production workflows.

HTML5 Control Through Quasar Soft and Quasar Cast

Instead of relying on a physical control surface, the Quasar Engine RPS uses the included Quasar Soft and Quasar Cast software as its primary user interface. These HTML5-based control tools provide full mixer operation through web-enabled devices, giving operators flexible access from control rooms, offices, or remote locations.

Livewire Network Integration for Reliable Performance

The engine connects to the Livewire network using two separate Ethernet connections, one dedicated to the engine and one for the Quasar Soft surface interface. This separation ensures reliable performance and predictable control behavior in mission-critical broadcast environments where network stability matters.

Optional Hardware Expansion for Hybrid Workflows

For facilities that want a blend of software and hardware control, the Quasar Engine RPS includes a USB connection that supports optional Quasar SR control modules. This allows operators to add tactile fader control while maintaining the engine-centric system design.

Designed for Modern and Distributed Studios

The Quasar Engine RPS is well suited for modern broadcast facilities, podcast studios, and distributed production systems where flexibility and space efficiency are priorities. It enables professional audio mixing without the footprint, cost, or complexity of a full console surface.
