AoIP Mixing Console
Welcome to Axia Quasar
Setup of a networked audio mixing console, though we have made it as easy as possible, is challenging
to condense into a few pages. The following material is intended to help the busy engineer get up and
running in a few minutes.
This Quickstart Guide assumes a few things:
• That the reader has some knowledge of network basics and terminology,
• That the reader is familiar with other Axia Livewire products,
• And that the reader has a correctly configured network switch
We will take you through the basic steps to configure your new Quasar and have you up and running in no
time. But before we get started, let's make sure you are familiar with the Quasar System anatomy.
