Wheatstone LXE MFO

Modular Control Surface for Customizable On-Air Workflows
The Wheatstone LXE MFO is a modular frame option (MFO) version of the flagship LXE control surface, engineered for ultimate flexibility in broadcast console design. Built around the concept of user-defined functionality, this surface allows operators to customize every button, rotary encoder, and touchscreen layout for unique production needs. Whether used in radio, television, or live streaming control rooms, the LXE MFO gives engineers and talent full command over signal flow, channel assignment, routing, and logic—all within a modular, reconfigurable hardware layout.

Touchscreen-Enabled Interface for Intuitive Operation
Central to the LXE MFO design is its touch-interactive workflow, enabled by integrated multitouch displays that support drag-and-drop source assignment, scene recalls, and live monitoring controls. These touchscreens not only eliminate the need for physical labels but also adapt dynamically to the configuration of each show or user, making it ideal for multi-operator and multi-show environments. The intuitive UI reduces setup time and simplifies training in fast-paced broadcast settings.

Modular Frame Format Supports Scalable Console Design
As a modular frame option system, the LXE MFO can be built with any number of fader panels, master control modules, and touchscreen displays, giving engineers the freedom to scale from a compact tabletop setup to a multi-bay studio installation. It’s designed to fit both small market control rooms and large network facilities. The modularity extends to physical layouts as well, with frame segments that can be rearranged or replaced as workflows change or expand.

Built for Seamless Integration With WheatNet-IP Audio Networks
The LXE MFO natively integrates into the WheatNet-IP ecosystem, enabling instant access to source routing, bus assignments, processing tools, and cross-point control directly from the surface. This tight integration removes the need for external controllers or complicated routing interfaces, allowing full console control of signal chains, mix-minus feeds, IFBs, and utility buses across the network.

Fully Programmable Logic and User Profile Support
Operators can build custom user profiles with personalized metering, logic control, and preset scenes. Each button and encoder can be reprogrammed to serve as a router, trigger macro events, or activate salvos depending on the production needs. These settings are stored per user, meaning studios with rotating talent or technical staff can load their exact layout instantly without manual reconfiguration.

Engineered for Demanding 24/7 Broadcast Environments
From the anodized aluminum chassis to the high-reliability encoders and RGB-backlit buttons, every component of the LXE MFO is made for daily use in high-pressure broadcast facilities. Designed and built by Wheatstone in the USA, the console meets the reliability standards of mission-critical on-air applications and is backed by long-term product support.
