The OXF-R3 '24C' - version
Control Panel

Its all-digital architecture means that the OXF-R3 requires just two simple cables to connect its control
surface to the signal processor rack and the host computer rack. Audio inputs and outputs are connected
to the I/O racks which, in turn, are linked to the signal processor rack via industry standard connections.
This allows the I/O and processor racks to be placed remotely from the console's control surface, affording
additional installation flexibility and allowing the console to be installed even where control room space
is at a premium.
The OXF-R3 accepts external SMPTE/EBU time code and external
word clock. The console has the important ability to chase the
external word clock over the varispeed range of ±12.5%.
The control surface configuration featured in this brochure has 48
channel faders (24 on each side), 16 group faders (in the centre) and
two complete 'input modules' (one on each side of the console
surface). This is referred to as a '24C24'. An alternative configuration
has 24 channel faders with only one 'input module'. This is the '24C'
(pictured here). This version has all the processing functionality of the
bigger version, but is only 1.62 m (63
