GENERAL INFORMATION
General Information
Introduction
Evolution 1 is a new control surface that revolutionizes small footprint networkable
consoles by including an integrated LCD display that eliminates the need for an external
video monitor while still providing all the metering and control access needed in a surface
of its class. Offering the full functionality of Wheatstone’s large E-Series surfaces, the
E-1, when paired with the WheatNet-IP 88cbe audio console Blade/mix engine, creates
a powerful networkable or standalone solution. Four mix output buses and individual
fader bus minus with talkback are just two of the standard features. The E-1 also has
event recall, three monitor outputs, and pan and mode for each channel. It has an array
of programmable master panel switches for customized functions like phone, intercom,
salvos, or machine commands. The E-1 drives an LCD display via the Embedded E-1
Graphic User Interface (GUI), providing hi-res REALTIME graphic displays, production
tools, and set up screens (security protected by multilevel pass codes).
