Axel Technology has released firmware 8.7 for its Oxygen 3000 Plus broadcast console, adding optional two-channel VoIP, enhanced studio signaling, and improved workflow management tools. The update is designed to streamline call handling and configuration for radio and live-event production environments.
The addition of native VoIP and Bluetooth signaling to the Oxygen 3000 Plus console reflects a broader industry transition toward software-defined broadcast infrastructure. By reducing the need for external phone hybrids and rack-mounted hardware, Axel Technology is addressing the demand for more flexible, space-efficient studio layouts in radio and live-event production. This update aligns with the trend of integrated call management becoming a standard console feature rather than a peripheral add-on. As Christian Sighinolfi notes, the focus for engineers is shifting from hardware volume to simultaneous conversation capacity. Watch for whether competitors like Lawo or Telos Alliance respond with similar native VoIP expansions for their entry-level broadcast consoles.
For studios looking to further optimize their audio chains, low-latency per-application broadcast capture is becoming a critical requirement for modern software-based radio setups. As facilities continue their SDI-to-IP transition, these integrated console features provide the necessary bridge between legacy analog workflows and modern networked environments. While many facilities explore these upgrades, SDI remains primary infrastructure for a significant portion of the industry. Other broadcasters are also exploring Calrec IP audio tools to further modernize their signal routing.
