LundHalsey x-Type Broadcast Console, Large

Product Overview

The LundHalsey x-Type Broadcast Console (Large, Fixed Height) is a professional broadcast control room desk built for on-air studios, master control rooms, production control rooms, and network operations centres where a fixed-height console is the specified solution. The Large configuration provides maximum workspace and equipment integration capacity within the x-Type platform, accommodating multi-operator positions and high-density broadcast AV hardware in a steel-fabricated wedge structure with concealed 19-inch rack-mount bays and an integrated modular pod system. This fixed-height broadcast console is trusted by major broadcasters worldwide, including CNN, BBC, Sky, and ESPN.

Product Description

The x-Type Console Large is the fixed-height counterpart to the x-Type Air series, delivering the same broadcast-grade structural features and modular design architecture at a lower price point where height adjustment is not operationally required. It is suited to broadcast environments where console positions are assigned to specific operators with consistent ergonomic requirements, or where studio design standards specify fixed-height furniture.

The steel-fabricated wedge structure is the defining feature of the x-Type platform. A clean front cover panel conceals 19-inch rack-mount fixings inside the console body, enabling broadcast integrators to mount signal routing equipment, KVM switches, audio monitoring hardware, and patch panels directly within the console without exposed rack hardware at the operator position. Interchangeable modular equipment pods on the work surface provide flexible placement of broadcast control interfaces, communications panels, and access hardware. Dual cable management — work surface access panel and rear access panel — supports high-density broadcast signal cabling without surface clutter. The x-Type Large is compatible with LundHalsey's premium engineered monitor arms, including the laterally adjustable articulated arm, supporting multi-screen display configurations for production and on-air positions. High-gloss end panels with LED accent lighting deliver a broadcast-appropriate finish for studio environments where aesthetics are part of the facility design brief. Available through Creation Networks for US and Canada broadcast integrators and facilities managers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary difference between the x-Type Console (fixed) and the x-Type Air Console?

A: The x-Type Console is a fixed-height broadcast desk. The x-Type Air Console adds a sit-stand height adjustment mechanism via the Kontrol Touch interface. If your studio specifications require ergonomic height adjustability or ISO 11064 compliance for operator comfort, the Air variant is recommended. If operator positions are consistent or fixed-height furniture is specified, the standard x-Type Console is the appropriate choice at a lower cost.

Q: Can this console be integrated with existing broadcast AV infrastructure?

A: Yes. The x-Type's concealed 19-inch rack-mount bays can house standard broadcast AV hardware — including patch panels, KVM switches, signal routing equipment, and audio monitoring units — that integrates into existing broadcast plant infrastructure. Contact Creation Networks to review your AV system design and confirm compatibility.

Q: Is the Large configuration suitable for multi-operator broadcast positions?

A: Yes. The Large footprint is designed for broadcast master control rooms, production control rooms, and playout positions where two or more operators share a console, or where a single operator requires extensive horizontal workspace and equipment integration capacity.

Q: Are the modular equipment pods customizable for specific broadcast workflows?

A: Yes. The interchangeable pod system allows AV system designers to configure the console surface with hardware specific to the broadcast workflow — whether that includes communications panels, patch access, signal monitoring, or production control interfaces. Pods can be reconfigured post-installation as workflows change.

Q: What monitor arm configurations are supported?

A: The x-Type Console is compatible with LundHalsey's premium engineered monitor arms, including the laterally adjustable articulated arm that supports multiple display positions across the console width. Standard broadcast multi-screen configurations of two to four monitors are typical. Contact Creation Networks to specify monitor arm requirements for your installation.

Q: Is this console rated for 24/7 broadcast operations?

A: LundHalsey consoles are deployed in 24/7 broadcast control rooms globally, including master control rooms for major international broadcasters. The steel-fabricated construction is designed for continuous-operation environments. Contact LundHalsey or Creation Networks for operational rating details specific to this SKU.

Q: Does Creation Networks provide design consultation for broadcast control room projects?

A: Yes. Creation Networks provides AV system design consultation for broadcast control room projects, including equipment specification, rack design, and coordination with LundHalsey's project management team for console layout, site drawings, and installation support.
