Wheatstone will demonstrate its VMX virtual mixing platform at IBC2026, stand 8.A51, showing how the server-based system allows mixing from any web browser on devices ranging from studio touchscreens to tablets.

VMX can be installed on an existing server or a dedicated appliance and offers a range of tiles including basic utility mixers, a simple virtual mixing interface, and complete virtual broadcast consoles suited to television newsrooms and radio on-air studios. Virtual consoles are accessible through a web browser, making the system applicable for newsrooms, control rooms, voicetrack booths, and remote mixing instances. Real-time backup mirroring provides instantaneous failover in the event of a failure.

The platform is AES67 compliant and includes a setup wizard. It scales from large enterprise deployments down to the VMX Nano, which is priced and scaled for remote or emergency broadcast applications.

VMX is part of Wheatstone’s Layers software-based broadcast suite, designed to virtualise studio functions as an extension of the WheatNet IP audio network. At IBC2026, Wheatstone will also be showing its broader WheatNet IP audio network of virtual and fixed consoles, talent stations, and intelligent I/O access units at the same stand.

Wheatstone Corporation, headquartered in New Bern, North Carolina, designs and manufactures professional broadcast audio equipment under the Wheatstone, Audioarts, and VoxPro brand names.
