LundHalsey x-Type Broadcast Air Console, Large - Height Adjustable

Product Overview

The LundHalsey x-Type Broadcast Air Console (Large, Height Adjustable) is a sit-stand broadcast control room desk designed for on-air studios, production control rooms, and network operations centers requiring maximum operator workspace. Built on LundHalsey's x-Type wedge platform, this large-footprint height-adjustable broadcast console accommodates multi-operator setups and integrates directly with 19-inch rack-mount equipment bays concealed within the console structure. Trusted by broadcasters including BBC, CNN, Sky, and ESPN, the x-Type Air series sets the standard for ergonomic broadcast studio furniture in demanding 24/7 environments.

Product Description

The x-Type Air Console Large delivers the largest footprint in the x-Type family, making it the primary choice for broadcast master control rooms, production control rooms, and playout centres where multiple operators share a single console position or where extensive equipment integration is required. The sit-stand height adjustment mechanism allows operators to transition between seated and standing positions during long broadcast shifts, directly addressing operator fatigue in high-pressure live production environments.

The steel-fabricated wedge structure houses concealed 19-inch rack-mount fixings behind a clean front cover panel, eliminating visible hardware and maintaining a professional on-air aesthetic. Interchangeable modular equipment pods allow AV system designers to configure the console for specific broadcast workflows — accommodating patch panels, KVM switches, audio monitoring equipment, and signal routing hardware without exposing cabling at the work surface. Dual cable management access points — one at the work surface and one at the rear — ensure clean cable routing for high-density broadcast signal environments. The console is compatible with LundHalsey's premium engineered monitor arms and the Kontrol Touch height adjustment interface. LED accent lighting integrated into the high-gloss end panels provides ambient illumination appropriate for on-camera studio environments. This console ships to Creation Networks customers in the United States and Canada with full AV integration support available through the Creation Networks technical team.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the x-Type Air Console and the standard x-Type Console?

A: The "Air" designation indicates the sit-stand height-adjustable variant. The x-Type Air Console includes a motorized or manual lift mechanism that allows operators to transition between seated and standing work positions. The standard x-Type Console is fixed-height. For broadcast environments where operators work extended shifts, the Air variant is recommended for ergonomic compliance.

Q: Can the console integrate with 19-inch rack-mount AV equipment?

A: Yes. The x-Type console structure includes concealed 19-inch rack-mount fixings within the steel wedge body. Broadcast hardware such as patch panels, KVM switches, audio monitoring units, and signal routing equipment can be rack-mounted inside the console without visible hardware at the operator surface.

Q: Is this console compatible with third-party monitor arms?

A: The x-Type is designed to work with LundHalsey's own premium engineered monitor arms, including their laterally adjustable articulated arm. Compatibility with third-party monitor arms depends on mounting interface specifications — contact Creation Networks for details specific to your installation.

Q: How does the Kontrol Touch height adjustment system work?

A: Kontrol Touch is LundHalsey's proprietary height control interface, available as a touchpad panel or paired app. Operators can save preferred height positions as memory presets, enabling fast transitions between individual operator profiles without manual adjustment.

Q: What broadcast environments is the Large configuration suited for?

A: The Large footprint is best suited for master control rooms, production control rooms, playout centres, and NOC/SOC environments where a single console position must accommodate multiple operators side-by-side or integrate a high volume of broadcast AV hardware. Smaller studio positions may be better served by the Medium or Small variants.

Q: Can the modular equipment pods be reconfigured after installation?

A: Yes. The x-Type's equipment pods are designed to be interchangeable, allowing AV system designers and facilities managers to reconfigure the console as operational requirements change without replacing the entire console structure.

Q: What is the lead time and delivery process for US and Canada orders?

A: Creation Networks fulfills LundHalsey orders to the United States and Canada. Lead times vary based on configuration and volume — contact Creation Networks directly for a project quote and delivery timeline specific to your broadcast facility.

Q: Does LundHalsey provide installation support?

A: LundHalsey provides end-to-end project management from design through manufacture and installation. Creation Networks can coordinate with the LundHalsey project team to support AV integration, site preparation requirements, and installation logistics for your broadcast studio or control room build.
