Wheatstone GSX-1212-B4 Programmable Broadcast Digital AoIP Console
The Wheatstone GSX-1212-B4 is a high-performance broadcast audio console designed for modern studios that require flexibility, speed, and precision. Featuring 12 input faders in a 12-fader tabletop frame, this digital AoIP console integrates advanced control, programmable features, and powerful IP networking for seamless operation. Built on the same foundation as Wheatstone’s industry-leading LXE console, the GSX-1212-B4 provides unmatched customization, intuitive workflow control, and full IP audio integration—all in a turnkey design that’s ready for demanding broadcast environments.
Professional Digital Mixing for Broadcast Studios
The GSX-1212-B4 brings together Wheatstone’s most advanced digital audio innovations into a streamlined, professional-grade control surface. Designed to handle live, production, and on-air broadcast operations, this console offers smooth tactile control with durable faders, LED color indicators, and OLED displays for real-time visual feedback. The GSX is built to maintain reliability in fast-paced studios, offering a compact yet powerful platform for handling complex routing, mixing, and monitoring with precision.
Fully Programmable Console with Flexible Control
One of the GSX-1212-B4’s defining strengths is its full programmability. Every button, knob, and encoder can be customized through Wheatstone’s optional ConsoleBuilder™ software, allowing you to assign specific functions or automate complex control sequences. Multicolor LED buttons provide clear status indicators, while OLED color displays offer context-aware information for each channel. This makes it simple to configure the console to fit your exact production workflow, whether you’re running live talk shows, multi-source broadcasts, or audio post-production sessions.
Seamless IP Audio Integration with WheatNet-IP
The GSX-1212-B4 integrates effortlessly into the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, providing instant access to audio, control, and logic data over standard CAT6 cabling. Using the included B4 Mix Engine, the system manages routing and processing for every input and output, supporting a wide range of formats including analog, AES/EBU, AoIP, MADI, SDI, and AES67. This full IP audio integration ensures maximum scalability and flexibility for evolving studio environments while maintaining pristine audio quality and robust control.
Touchscreen Control with Customizable Interface
The GSX console features an advanced touchscreen interface for real-time metering, EQ adjustments, routing, and dynamics control. Using the optional ScreenBuilder™ software, operators can create custom touchscreen layouts with interactive controls like meters, timers, buttons, and routing maps. This visual approach to console operation enhances efficiency and allows engineers to tailor their control surface to the exact needs of each show or operator—ideal for broadcast networks with multiple users or shared studio setups.
Expandable Modular Design for Any Configuration
Built for flexibility, the GSX-1212-B4’s modular architecture allows easy reconfiguration and expansion. Each 4-fader module can be flush-mounted or networked across multiple locations, providing the freedom to build consoles of virtually any size or layout. Optional Layers functionality supports up to 32 input channels across physical faders, making it possible to manage large productions in a compact space. Additional accessories such as Smart Switch panels and OLED control modules can be integrated for even greater functionality.
Streamlined Setup with Reliable Performance
Every GSX-1212-B4 system includes all essential components for immediate deployment, including the external power supply, power cable, BLADE Mix Engine, and user manual. Designed for years of continuous use, the GSX features a rugged chassis, high-quality controls, and Wheatstone’s proven broadcast reliability. Whether installed in a small studio or a full-scale network control room, it provides consistent performance and intuitive operation for any production scenario.
