MANDOZZI ELETTRONICA SA Every mixer console can take over the job of any other one by a few key
strokes using the snapshot functions. A mixer can also send the configuration of a fader channel to any other mixer. The sound engineer can remotely control from his own mixer a fader channel of a DJ mixer. The mixers remotely control Mandozzi’s audio over IP codecs as well as third- party codecs and telephone hybrids that are installed in the central router room. GMIX mixers perform audio measurements according to R128. GMIX mixers are ideally suited for large broadcast installations with interacting mixers.
THE DIGITAL MIXERS SERIX
The SERIX mixers were developed to satisfy the customers looking for stand alone mixers that work autonomously and do not necessarily depend on a central router. These mixers allow the customers to start by installing a few single mixers and to expand the station step by step later on. But SERIX mixers are also well suited to realise complex radio house installations with a central router. In this case, the SERIX mixers remotely control the router in order to select the input and output lines, for intercom connections between the mixers, as well as to remotely control the microphone pre-amplifiers, the mute and the GPIO of the other mixers, etc. Mandozzi’s audio over IP codecs can also be controlled by the SERIX mixers. The SERIX mixer surface is composed of modules of four motorised faders and of a central module for configuration, communication and monitoring, plus a touch screen to display the parameters, timers, etc., and to set up the mixer. The modules are either supplied as individual mixer units that can be built into the console furniture at any place desired by the customer, or assembled into a metal frame to obtain a table top mixer. The SERIX consoles offer an easy and comfortable operation due to the touch screen. The functions of the control keys and knobs are freely configurable by the user. SERIX also offers the processing of 5.1 signals and audio measurements according to R128. SERIX mixers are best suited for small to large broadcast installations, for DJ and assisted operation.
THE NEW SMALL DIGITAL MIXER
The small digital mixer is so new that it does not even have its own name yet. Mandozzi’s engineers are working hard on it, and it will be ready by mid 2014. We want it to be a big surprise for all broadcasters, therefore we do not yet show any pictures. The mixer will consist of a table top console with the fader and control modules, and a separate small I/O box. As all Mandozzi mixers, the new product can be integrated into Mandozzi’s audio router concept. The new mixer is best suited for customers with a lower budget, but it offers many features of the GMIX or SERIX mixers.

SOME MILESTONES OF MANDOZZI ELETTRONICA SA
Mandozzi Elettronica SA was founded 1965. Due to its close contacts with the customers, the enterprise realised the following milestones during its evolution: The first analogue audio router was installed in 1982 in Rome
(Italy), and the first digital routers in 1994, also for RAI in Italy. In 2001 Mandozzi supplied the first radio station with five interlinked routers and 11 GMIX mixers to the German ORB. The first 2 Mbps audio codecs COMBIMUX were supplied to German Telekom in 1999. Since 2002 Mandozzi has been supplying to Swedish Radio 25 digital radio stations that are composed of a redundant central matrix and up to 12 GMIX mixers plus up to 6 SERIX mixers. In 2007 the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation ordered a radio house with a redundant central router and 33 SERIX mixers for Lausanne. Mandozzi developed in 2009 the Audio over IP codecs UMAC that can be integrated into and controlled by Mandozzi’s routers and mixers and have the unique feature of self-configuring. Since 2009, Mandozzi has successfully promoted a software tool to generate RDS texts for FM transmission and PAD contents for DAB. In 2010, Mandozzi supplied to Austrian Telecom a redundant router with 240 integrated redundant analogue line equalisers. In the year 2011 we received the order from Hessischer Rundfunk Frankfurt to replace the whole audio system of their radio house by a redundant matrix that is installed in two separate rooms, and 20 SERIX mixers.
