Wohler iAM1-MIX8-12G Analog IP 3G-SDI Audio Monitor and Mixer


Wohler iAM1-MIX8-12G 12G-SDI Audio and Video Monitor with Integrated Mixer
The Wohler iAM1-MIX8-12G is a high-performance audio and video monitoring and mixing tool, designed for critical signal review in production and broadcast environments that are already operating or migrating to Ultra High Definition (4K UHD). This exceptionally compact device in a 1-rack unit (1RU) format not only fulfills the purpose of high-quality technical monitoring but also adds the crucial functionality of an integrated audio mixing console with 8 physical faders. Its processing capability is focused on high bit rates, offering dual 12G-SDI input as standard, while maintaining full compatibility with 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals.
The distinctive feature of the iAM1-MIX8-12G is its user interface, which includes a 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen for video preview, metering graphics, and menu access, complemented by eight physical faders and a master fader. These tactile and physical controls allow the operator to quickly select, mix, and solo up to 16 embedded audio channels per source, offering unmatched flexibility for monitoring complex mixes. The unit includes Loudness metering (ITU-R BS.1770 / EBU R128) and high-resolution level meters (simultaneous VU and PPM) as standard, ensuring audio compliance. Despite its compact size, the Wohler acoustic section provides clear listening through internal speakers and a high-fidelity headphone output. Like other models in the iAM series, it features two bays that allow the integration of optional modules for Dolby E/D/D+ decoding, AES67/Dante or MADI connectivity, ensuring the unit is a future-proof investment for any transition to IP infrastructure.
