Aurora makes interfacing m!ka LITT and “On-Air” mic booms to your Axia network simple. Instead of GPIO connections, breakouts, relays and external power supplies, Aurora connects to your Axia network’s Ethernet switch and interprets the virtual GPIO given by the Livewire network to the voltages needed to drive up to 5 LITT lights in a stack and 4 of the “On-Air” tally lights on the m!ka mic booms. To make life even more exciting in your studios, we give you access to both the red and the white colors on those m!ka “On-Air” lamps – no extra wiring needed!  At PTSgear, every chance we get, we use POE and PTS-Aurora is no exception.  For a couple mic booms and a couple LITT tiers, standard PoE will be sufficient.  To power 4 mic booms and a fully loaded LITT stack we recommend PoE+.  Flash patterns, PWM control of the m!ka mic boom tally, PTS-Aurora opens up numerous opportunities for signaling within your studio, as well as the ability to roll out a solder-free studio installation!

PTS-Aurora comes in two versions – as a standalone system that you can wire up yourself.  Or in a Bundle which includes four 5-pin XLR-F mounting plates you can install in your millwork with a simple hole saw and transform the XLR-5 tail from your mic arm into an RJ45 connector.  Then it’s simply a matter of patching everything together with shielded ethernet cables!  

Want even more customization options?  Tag in our our Custom Shop and get your station logo laser etched into the mounting plates.  Or quantity dependent, get a custom colour powder-coat!
