Wheatstone GSX-2416-B4 Digital Audio Console Surface

Efficient Broadcast Console with 16 Physical Faders in a 24-Channel Frame

The GSX-2416 is a versatile digital console surface designed for broadcast and production use, offering 16 physical faders within a 24-channel framework. It integrates tightly with the WheatNet-IP network and includes a B4 mix engine. From controlling mic and line sources to handling routing and processing, this console is built to streamline modern radio and streaming workflows.

Fully Programmable Controls with OLED Displays and LED Buttons

Each channel features a full-color OLED display for contextual information—source names, mode, logic, and routing. Multicolored LED buttons let you assign functions like mute, cue, take, or custom control logic. With this visual feedback, operators can work quickly and accurately without scrambling for secondary displays.

Modular Engineered Design for Flexible Installations

The GSX-2416 uses modular 4-fader input panels (or alternate 2-fader / master modules) that can be flush-mounted or split across desks. This modularity makes it easier to adapt layouts, expand later, or integrate into custom furniture. All connections run via a single CAT6 cable to the mix engine, simplifying wiring and setup.

Integrated DSP Processing on Surface and Blade

Rather than relying solely on external DSP, the GSX console integrates full EQ, dynamics, and filtering directly within the system. Each input channel supports phase inversion, panning, high/low pass filters, and routing to buses or mix-minus outputs. The mix engine offloads heavier processing, allowing smooth operation even in complex broadcast applications.

Smart Features Geared for Broadcast Efficiency

The GSX supports automation with features like fader layers, event recall, and mix-minus logic. Its meters appear on screen instead of on a physical meter bridge, giving it a low-profile design. Optional automix capabilities reduce complexity in talk shows by dynamically adjusting mic levels to minimize background noise.

Optimized for IP-Audio Networking via WheatNet-IP

As part of the WheatNet-IP ecosystem, the GSX-2416 interfaces natively with I/O blades, control panels, and logic devices using a unified audio/control network. It supports formats including analog, AES/EBU, AoIP, MADI, SDI, and AES67—making it suited for modern mixed-format broadcast environments. 

Built for Reliability and Long-Term Use

Designed for broadcast environments, the GSX-2416 is robust in both hardware and software. It includes redundant power options, rugged construction, and professional-grade components. Operators can depend on it for demanding, 24/7 use in studios, newsrooms, or remote locations.
