Wheatstone LXE 1708T-B4 Broadcast Console with 8 Faders

Compact Console That Puts You in Control

The LXE-1708T is a modular broadcast console designed to offer full customization in a compact footprint. With 8 motorized faders housed in a 17-position frame and integrated mix engine, it enables you to manage your audio routing, processing, and signal flow with hands-on control. Every button, knob, and display is scriptable, allowing you to tailor the surface to your workflow.

OLED Displays and Programmable Controls for Clear Operation

Each channel module features full-color OLED screens that adapt to show the function assigned—source names, modes, logic states, or metering. Buttons adjacent to faders are RGB LED illuminated and fully programmable, giving visual cues tied precisely to functionality. This combination of feedback and flexibility makes it easier to operate under demanding on-air conditions.

Flexible Frame Options to Fit Your Studio Layout

The LXE-1708T supports multiple form factors—tabletop with meterbridge, low-profile wedge without meterbridge, or flush-mount counter drop installation. You can also configure split layouts across multiple studios or rooms. Since all modules connect via a single CAT6 cable to the mix engine, reconfiguring or relocating sections is simple.

Embedded DSP and Full Signal Chain Control

Unlike consoles that rely on external outboard processing, the LXE-1708T includes DSP on every channel. You get EQ, dynamics (compressor, gate, expansion), high/low pass filters, panning, and routing built in. Metering is handled via HDMI output rather than a physical meter bridge, which helps keep the control surface sleek and uncluttered.

Advanced Automation, Layering, and Workflow Options

To support robust on-air operations, the LXE-1708T features multi-layer fader modes (expanding control beyond 8 physical faders), event recall, fader mirroring, and logic scripting. You can program macros or button sequences to execute complex tasks with a single touch, improving speed and consistency during live shows.

Seamless Integration with WheatNet-IP and Multiple Formats

Deep integration with WheatNet-IP ensures that audio, control, and logic flow over the same network architecture. The system supports formats including analog, AES/EBU, SPDIF, AoIP, MADI, SDI, and AES67, making it compatible with both legacy and modern studio infrastructure.

Built for Reliability in Broadcast Environments

Designed for continuous use, the LXE-1708T is built with broadcast-grade components and modular repair capacity. Its combination of customization, DSP integration, and network compatibility makes it a reliable choice for studios, remote setups, or integrated media environments.
