The XZ console is autonomous, but it allows incorporating the video plasma monitors from the Audio Computer PC (using a dual video card). The screens are LCD plasma 15" View Sonic type or similar brand.

The series X consoles can have the VC-180 option for measuring the Phase Vector (which indicates the stereo sensation). This fundamental parameter (for many people more important than the VUmeter) is an option that very few manufacturers can offer. It has also a LEDs bars VU, of real peak, to know always the peak value of the audio signal. In some console models the VC180 can be requested as a replacement for needle VUmeters.

Another option, in series "X" models, is the Timer/Clock, performing as a clock, crystal controlled. At the moment of connecting the microphones on the air this clock becomes a Timer, counting the time in minutes and seconds, meanwhile the journalists or the DJ are on the air. This allows a strict control of words, to avoid tiring the audience (and that they migrate to other radio station...).

Using 2302 USB module allows for direct conection to the Automation software without the need to use audio cards.

Advanced audio quality due to a full digital chain, from the CD recorded at the PC to the console digital USB output of the 2302 module. It allows for digital recordings or a TCP/IP link between studios or transmitter premises.

The 2302 module besides has conventional analog line inputs, selectable with the A/B input switch
