BSW now selling Axia Audio gear

Broadcast Supply Worldwide, the highly-successful Washington-based audio equipment supplier, is the latest in the growing corps of Axia Audio representatives.
The Axia IP-Audio studio products allow broadcasters to build audio networks of any size, quickly and easily, using standard switched Ethernet to connect a few rooms - or an entire facility. An Axia audio network can carry hundreds of digital stereo audio channels over standard CAT-6 cables, eliminating much of the cost and time normally associated with wiring labour and infrastructure. Axia networks are constructed using a family of ‘audio nodes’ that convert audio into data streams, allowing easy networked transport and mixing of digital, analogue and microphone audio. A special driver for Windows PCs allows audio delivery systems and workstations to send digital audio directly to the network via their Ethernet ports for use anywhere in the facility, eliminating the expense of PC sound cards.
"Axia's technology expands into a bold new area of broadcast engineering to offer a complete, integrated studio solution, customisable using an easy 'building block' approach," said Tim Schwieger, BSW President. "Our customers have indicated a willingness to deploy new technology, and Axia products are right on target."
