Violet Audio brings enterprise-class broadcast workflows to its dMix 128 digital mixing platform
— New RadioX12™ virtual broadcast console brings flexible, scalable and standards-based IP workflows to the dMix 128 platform —
Los Angeles, CA, November 9, 2026 — Violet Audio announces RadioX12™, a major expansion of its dMix 128 digital mixing platform, bringing enterprise-class broadcast workflows to a professional mixing system. Running natively on both Windows and macOS, RadioX12 transforms the dMix 128 into a powerful software-based broadcast console while taking full advantage of the dMix 128 system’s onboard DSP, scalable I/O architecture and low-latency audio-over-IP capabilities. Developed specifically around the operational requirements of broadcast, the introduction of the new RadioX12 virtual broadcast console, combined with integrated AES67/RAVENNA networking, native multichannel computer audio, Axia Livewire+ interoperability and optional Dante expansion, transforms the dMix 128 into a software-defined production platform for radio, television, live production, houses of worship, educational institutions, podcast studios and modern content creators.
As broadcasters, production companies and AV integrators continue migrating to open IP-based workflows, the dMix 128 delivers a cost-effective alternative to traditional broadcast consoles and proprietary production systems. Instead of relying on separate platforms for live sound, broadcast, recording and networked audio, users can consolidate those workflows into a single scalable solution.
Today’s radio facility is also being asked to do far more than produce a single terrestrial program feed. The same facility may be responsible for live broadcasting, podcast production, video streaming, remote interviews, social-media content and program syndication, often simultaneously. Each of those destinations may require a different audio mix, dedicated output or separate clean feed. With its 128-channel architecture and flexible internal routing, the dMix 128 provides the capacity to manage these parallel workflows within a single system.
“We didn’t set out to build another broadcast console,” said Danny Olesh, founder and principal designer of Violet Audio. “We built a production platform based on open standards that adapts to the way engineers work today. Whether you’re mixing a concert, producing a morning radio show, recording a podcast or managing network audio across an entire facility, the same platform can handle the job.”
RadioX12 is a virtual broadcast console that utilizes the dMix 128’s latest generation FPGA-powered DSP engine for all audio processing. By keeping signal processing inside dedicated hardware, RadioX12 delivers the reliability and ultra-low latency broadcasters expect while providing the flexibility of a modern software interface.
Built as a dedicated broadcast software environment for the dMix 128, RadioX12 supports up to three independent studios while addressing the day-to-day requirements of modern on-air production. Features include isolated routing, source selection, automatic mix-minus and clean feeds, multiple program and recording outputs, dedicated headphone mixes, talkback, customizable fader layouts, user permissions, GPIO assignments, hardware and software triggers, and full Open Sound Control (OSC) integration.
An important element of the RadioX12 design is its ability to separate the operator experience from the complexity of the underlying audio system. Each operator or presenter can be provided with only the controls required for a particular program or workflow, while the dMix 128 continues to manage sophisticated routing, processing and signal distribution behind the scenes. For example, a presenter’s interface can be configured to show only the essential controls for microphones, music playback, telephone or online contributors, jingles and the program output. Behind that simplified interface, the dMix 128 can simultaneously manage studio monitoring, recording and streaming feeds, mix-minus, and communications between rooms. This approach allows presenters to work with a straightforward, purpose-built interface without needing to see or understand the more complex routing and processing taking place within the system.
“Broadcast facilities today are looking for ways to modernize without replacing their entire infrastructure,” said Phil Wagner, President of Violet Audio US. “The dMix 128 gives them a platform built around open standards that feels equally at home running a live production, an on-air studio, a podcast facility or a recording session. That flexibility allows organizations to invest in one system instead of several, while positioning themselves for the future of IP-based production.”
Every dMix 128 includes a native 64-channel AES67/RAVENNA Core Audio and ASIO driver, enabling multichannel audio to travel over standard Ethernet without requiring dedicated audio interfaces. The 64-by-64 computer audio connection also allows recording, automation, playback and production software to be integrated directly into the dMix 128 environment. The platform integrates directly with leading production applications and is compatible with Core Audio or ASIO-based software.
For facilities already operating Axia Livewire+ AES67 infrastructures, the dMix 128 offers seamless standards-based interoperability, allowing audio streams to move effortlessly between studios, automation systems, production rooms and recording workstations. Organizations requiring Dante connectivity can add it through an optional expansion module, making the platform equally at home in virtually any modern audio-over-IP environment.
Support for AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110-30 further enables RadioX12 and the dMix 128 to operate within standards-based IP audio environments. For broadcasters, this provides a practical path for future expansion and system integration, making the platform equally at home in virtually any modern audio-over-IP environment.
At its core, the dMix 128 is a professional 128-channel digital mixing platform designed to unify live sound, broadcast, installed audio and production workflows. The system features 32 mic/line analog inputs, 24 line-level analog outputs (all on Neutrik™ XLR connectors), a pair of headphone outputs, MADI and two AES3 I/O. dMix 128 is equipped with 128 mixing channels and 88 busses that are fully DSP-equipped with scalable I/O architecture capable of supporting everything from single-room production studios to multi-room facilities.
Comprehensive scene management, browser-based control and remote diagnostics simplify both deployment and daily operation. Users can control the platform from any HTML5 web browser, Windows touchscreen, iPad or Android tablet, or connect MCU-compatible hardware control surfaces for tactile operation. Dual redundant power supplies and dual redundant 256×256 AES67 network audio come standard, delivering the resilience required for mission-critical production environments.
By combining live production, broadcast operations, multitrack recording and networked audio within a single platform, Violet Audio is redefining the role of the digital mixing console. Rather than forcing broadcast operators to interact with the full complexity of the mixing and routing system, RadioX12 allows that power to remain behind the scenes while presenting each user with an interface tailored to the task at hand. Instead of just serving as a standalone mixer, the dMix 128 becomes the foundation of a modern IP-based production ecosystem, making capabilities once reserved for large broadcast facilities accessible to a far broader range of organizations.
The Violet Audio dMix 128 is available now through select professional audio retailers throughout the U.S. for $5,995. RadioX12 software is available immediately with a U.S. perpetual license price of $799. The AES67/RAVENNA Core Audio | ASIO driver is included with every dMix 128 at no additional cost.
