TSL applies IP expertise to MPA1

TSL Products’ range of entry-level MPA1 audio monitors has been extended with the addition of the MPA1-SOLO-IP. Designed to provide a seamless transition to IP at a competitive price, the MPA1-SOLO-IP offers the same features as the MPA1-SOLO-SDI. These include “scroll to hear” functions that allow operators to quickly monitor 16 audio channels and view video sources with the added benefit of monitoring across redundant SDI and IP networks.

The MPA1-SOLO-IP can host two Embrionix SFP modules for IP connectivity for redundant ST-2022-6 and ST-2110 audio and video monitoring. The latest MPA family member supports SDI, AES and analogue audio source monitoring via BNC or fibre via SFP+ port connection. With a depth of 100mm, the compact MPA1-SOLO-IP boasts the smallest form factor for a rack-mounted, IP-based audio monitor. Designed for limited space environments where fast audio QC is needed, TSL’s MPA1 units are commonly used across studio control rooms and within OB trucks to monitor audio mixer outputs and technical feed monitoring.

Allowing engineers to set presets and operators to recall MPA1 states as part of a system setup, the MPA1-SOLO-IP features SNMP connectivity with additional integration to control systems via Ember+ and NMOS. The range also integrates a web server, offering operators the ability to manage channel names and system parameters remotely over an Ethernet network, in addition to viewing audio levels and signal status via a web GUI.
