Operating Panels

The AURATUS has been designed from the ground up for user and service-friendly operation. The controls of eight channel strips are distributed on panels (332 mm in width), which are integrated into mixing-console frames of varying width.

The number of channel strips is derived from conventional desks and formats and is therefore based on an 8-channel grid. The panel width, the resulting channel-strip width, and the TFT-display dimensions were optimised to prevent any viewing offset between a channel strip and its corresponding screen section.

The following AURATUS control panels are optimised for their respective tasks: TFT screens, multifunctional panels (for controlling aux sends, N–1 sums, equalisers etc.), fader panels, a central channel panel (assigned to the currently selected channel), and a monitoring panel.

Each panel weighs a mere 2-3 kg. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, we were able to lower the AURATUS’ power consumption to a level below even that of other Stage Tec systems, which were already surprisingly power efficient – even the biggest AURATUS version consumes less than 100 watts!
