The FORUM Compact Digital Audio Mixing Console repre-
sents the culmination of AEQ’s many years of technological develop-
ment and experience producing the highest quality digital consoles
for the broadcast industry. It is based upon our ARENA Digital
Console found in use at hundreds of high-level studios. Our valued
customers asked us for a powerful, versatile, yet simple product to
digitally replace analog consoles found in most radio and television
s
tudios today. FORUM offers just that – an unprecedented feature
set, extremely simple installation and configuration, coupled with
intuitive and totally agile operation.

Product Overview
The FORUM is a self-contained digital audio mixing console speci-
fically designed to meet the most rigorous demands of the radio and
television broadcast industry. Its flexible design allows it to readily be
adapted to any ON-AIR application.
FORUM incorporates all of the features necessary for use in environ-
ments requiring: automatic monitor speaker cut-off, cough muting,
fader start, control signaling, interface signaling for automation of
external equipment, external communications management, inter-
com, etc.
Thanks to its self-contained modular design and reduced footprint,
FORUM adapts perfectly to any environment: auto-control, studio
control, television production, sound production, mixed configura-
tions, integration in large installations, etc.
One of the primary features which sets the FORUM apart is its inter-
nal routing capability: any combination of 64 inputs/outputs of ana-
log, digital, or microphone, plus an additional 64 input / output sig-
nals via a MADI multi-channel link.
Simplicity and control are combined in FORUM to satisfy ease
of operation - from the most basic to the most advanced require-
ments. The control surface can be configured with a minimum of 4
faders, and easily expanded to 8 or even 12 channels. (up to 16 and
20 channels with the FRGRAND chassis).
Each of FORUM’s basic functions such as setup, level adjustment,
and signal routing have their own specific control for each channel,
while lesser used settings are grouped into contextual controls com-
mon to all channels and are accessible by just one or two button
pushes: simplicity and ease of use makes for very dynamic system
control with little chance of operator error.
FORUM’s configuration allows any signal present within the system
to be freely assigned to any control channel, and signal distribution
configuration is done on the control surface itself.
FORUM has built-in memory where each signal’s settings are stored:
signal distribution via the control surface, output bus routing, setup
parameters, effects, etc. This allows the console to easily be adap-
ted to different programming needs and unique technical require-
ments.
Two Ethernet connectors enables external connectivity for the "AEQ
FORUM Configuration" software application. Further, these ports can
also be used for the optional software application "VIRTUAL
FORUM", that provides the AEQ FORUM with a powerful remote
control.
