Wheatstone L-12 Digital Audio Control Surface and Mix Engine
These sleek control surfaces are scaled just right for producing news and voiceovers. Like the LX-24, the L-8/L-12/L-16 have all the latest goodies plus are hot swappable down to the individual fader.
These cousins to the popular LX-24 are big in capability but scaled for news production, voiceover work and all those applications requiring a solid control surface that will deliver under deadline. The L-8, L-12, and L-16 are based on all the same design principles as the LX-24: precision-built, low-profile, tabletop IP control surfaces with hot-swappable individual fader modules that offer assignable sources to any fader.
Each fader can access four stereo output busses, a stereo cue bus, and its own individual Bus-Minus. An OLED source name display, an A/B source selector, and one programmable soft button are also provided, and a SET button gives access to assignable controls in the master section. Snapshots of the L-8, L-12, or L-16 configuration can be saved and recalled at the touch of a button, making setup for different working sessions a snap.
The L-8/L-12/L-16 meterbridge features three sets of bright, high resolution LED meters. A digital timer is also included. The console has control room and headphone outputs with level controls and source selection, as well as an independent studio monitor output. The L-12 and L-16 each have a built-in cue speaker.
These control surfaces re designed for use with the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network. An IP88CBL Console Audio BLADE provides the audio mix functionality as well as power to the L-8 (the L-12 and L-16 have dedicated power supplies); additional BLADEs can be added for inputs and outputs in a variety of digital and analog formats. These new IP consoles are sleek, versatile, and low profile (no tabletop cutout needed). Just plug the L-8, L-12, or L-16 into your WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, and quickly assign any source of any type from anywhere in your network to any channel fader.

1 ip88cb Console Blade Mix Engine (p/n 011005) with 8 mono (4 stereo) analog line inputs, 2 Mic preamps (patchable to 2 analog line inputs), 4 AES inputs, 4 AES outputs, 4 analog outputs, Cue and headphone outputs on RJ45 and 1/4″ jack, Control room and studio monitor outputs on XLRs, 12 programmable logic ports.
Additional Inputs and Outputs can added with ip88a, ip88d, ip88ad, ip88m, and Aura8IP I/O Blades through gigabit Ethernet network.
Modular Architecture
Source Select
Any channel can be assigned to one or more of the four program output busses, making your material available to an on-air feed as well as an internet stream, for instance.
Any input can be called up on any channel on the L-8/L-12/L-16. This means, for instance, the feed you’ve got plugged into input 7 on the back of the Console BLADE (or ANY BLADE I/O Interface) can show up on channel 2…or any other channel. Same with any input.
Not only that, you can assign a backup or different source to the same channel and switch on the fly by using the SOURCE A/B buttons. As if this isn’t cool enough by itself, think about the flexibility if/when you decide to link the L-8/L-12/L-16 up to a network. Imagine having any source on the network at your fingertips, with no patching.
Modular Construction
We’ve built the L-8/L-12/L-16 (in New Bern, NC USA, by the way) to be easily accessed by you. No ‘one-surface, gotta take the whole thing apart construction’ here. If you need access to a channel, all it takes is two screws and you’re in. Makes it a breeze to service or simply swap out a module.
Mix-Minus/Direct Output/Talkback
Each fader has a dedicated Mix-Minus output that includes all active faders on its selected source bus, except for itself. These auto generated monaural Mix-Minus signals may be routed to feed telephone hybrids or other devices as required. Alternately, these outputs may be set to provide a separate direct output from that channel only, consisting of the source assigned to that channel. Each channel has a talkback that will interrupt the feed to that mix-minus.
IP-88CB (L) (E) Console Audio BLADEs
The IP88CBL provides powerful interface options, including four AES inputs, four stereo analog inputs, four AES outputs, and four stereo analog outputs on RJ45s; control room and studio stereo analog outputs on XLRs, two mic level inputs with gain trim and switchable phantom power on XLRs; cue and headphone outputs on both RJ45 and 1/4" TRS, and 12 GPI logic ports on RJ45.
The IP-88CBL provides a power supply via a DC out the for L-8.
The L-12 and L-16 utilize an IP-88CB and a compact external power supply.
The IP-88CBE or IP-88CBLE adds optional EQ and dynamics capabilities to the L-8/L-12/L-16 which is controlled by the available L-EQ panel. This Console BLADE and panel can be configured when ordering or can be added to existing consoles by contacting our sales department.
