LundHalsey x-Type Broadcast Console, Medium

Product Overview

The LundHalsey x-Type Broadcast Console (Medium, Fixed Height) is a professional broadcast control room desk designed for single-operator on-air positions, production control rooms, AV control rooms, and corporate broadcast studios where a fixed-height console with integrated 19-inch rack-mount capability is the specified solution. The Medium footprint provides a balance of workspace and space efficiency, making it a practical fit for mid-size broadcast studios, radio on-air desks, and network operations centre positions where the full large footprint is not required. The x-Type platform is proven in installations at major broadcasters including BBC, CNN, Sky, and ESPN.

Product Description

The x-Type Console Medium is the fixed-height, mid-size configuration of the x-Type broadcast console family. It is the appropriate selection for broadcast studios where operator positions are ergonomically consistent, studio floor space is at a moderate premium, and the additional cost of a height-adjustable mechanism is not justified by operational requirements. This console provides the full x-Type structural and modular feature set — concealed rack bays, modular pods, integrated cable management — in a footprint suited to single-operator broadcast positions.

The steel-fabricated wedge structure conceals 19-inch rack-mount fixings behind a clean front panel, maintaining an uncluttered operator surface while supporting broadcast AV hardware integration directly within the console body. Integrators can mount signal routing equipment, KVM switches, audio monitoring units, patch panels, and intercom hardware in the console's internal rack bays without exposing rack equipment at the operator position. Interchangeable modular equipment pods allow surface configuration to match specific broadcast workflows, with the flexibility to reconfigure as production requirements evolve. Work surface and rear cable management access panels address the high connector density typical in broadcast AV signal environments. The x-Type Medium is compatible with LundHalsey's premium laterally adjustable articulated monitor arms, supporting standard broadcast multi-screen display configurations. High-gloss end panels with integrated LED accent lighting provide a finished broadcast studio aesthetic. Creation Networks stocks and fulfils LundHalsey products for broadcast integrators and facilities managers across the United States and Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I choose the fixed-height x-Type Console over the x-Type Air Console?

A: Choose the fixed-height x-Type Console when operator positions are consistent, studio ergonomic requirements are met at a fixed work surface height, and the budget allocation does not require the sit-stand functionality of the Air series. The fixed-height console is also appropriate where studio design standards specify non-adjustable furniture for aesthetic or structural reasons.

Q: What is the difference between the Medium and Large x-Type Console (fixed height)?

A: The Medium provides a smaller footprint suited to single-operator positions and studios where floor space efficiency is a design priority. The Large is designed for multi-operator positions or installations where a greater volume of broadcast AV equipment must be integrated within the console. Both share the same structural features, rack-mount capability, and modular pod architecture.

Q: Can this console support a multi-monitor broadcast display setup?

A: Yes. The x-Type Console is compatible with LundHalsey's premium laterally adjustable articulated monitor arms, which support two to four monitor configurations typical in broadcast production and on-air positions. Contact Creation Networks to specify monitor arm configurations for your installation.

Q: Is the x-Type Console suitable for a radio broadcast on-air desk?

A: Yes. The Medium fixed-height configuration is well-suited to radio on-air positions, where a clean, professional desk with integrated equipment bays for audio console interfaces, patch panels, and signal monitoring hardware is required in a manageable footprint.

Q: What broadcast AV equipment can be rack-mounted inside the console?

A: The concealed 19-inch rack-mount bays accommodate standard broadcast AV hardware including patch panels, KVM switches, signal processors, audio monitoring units, intercom hardware, and character generator interfaces. Exact rack unit capacity for the Medium configuration is available from Creation Networks upon request.

Q: Does LundHalsey provide installation services for US projects?

A: LundHalsey provides end-to-end project management including design, manufacture, and installation support. Creation Networks coordinates LundHalsey project logistics for US and Canada installations. Contact Creation Networks to discuss installation scope, site requirements, and project timeline for your broadcast facility.

Q: Can the modular pods be changed after installation?

A: Yes. The x-Type's interchangeable modular pod system is designed to be reconfigured post-installation as broadcast workflows change, allowing facilities to update hardware placement without replacing the console structure.

Q: How do I get a project quote for this product?

A: Contact Creation Networks directly for a project quote. The Creation Networks team handles product procurement, AV integration consultation, and LundHalsey project coordination for broadcast studio and control room builds across the United States and Canada.
