Based upon the same technology as the AEQ ARENA and FORUM digital mixing consoles that are currently in service at thousands of studios of both medium and high level, AEQ CAPITOL offers the same performance as the FORUM but in a “fixed” format; perfectly adapted to the real needs of the majority of stations but with a limited number of options. Nonetheless, standard features are impressive;

• 2 USB (I/O) digital stereo inputs
• 4 AES/EBU digital stereo Inputs and Outputs that can be configured as SPDIF
• 12 analog inputs/8 analog outputs (can be configured as mono Inputs/Outputs and additional secondary Headphones output)
Dedicated control and monitoring outputs: Analog stereo outputs for Control, Studio, CUE and Studio primary Headphone monitoring. Analog stereo outputs for amplified Control Headphones, jack ¼”.

Dual line Digital Telephone Hybrid.
MADI fiber-optic interface capable of handling up to 64 digital inputs and outputs.
A second AC power supply can be installed in the 2RU Engine of the CAPITOL, providing the system with redundant power supply.
