New Bern, NC (March 24, 2026)—Wheatstone will introduce its VMX mix engine platform and virtual broadcast console at the NAB Show 2026.
VMX serves as a single mixing backend for multiple LXE, Glass LXE, Strata and Virtual Strata consoles and surfaces as well as I/O Blade utility mixers throughout the WheatNet IP audio networked facility. VML is a full-featured virtual broadcast console that can be accessed through any web browser via HTML5 for mixing on a laptop, tablet, smartphone or desktop computer.
VMX can be deployed on a commercial server or PC or on a dedicated appliance made by Wheatstone, eliminating racks of dedicated mix engines for each console along with all the associated engineering, wiring and real estate costs.
• Submissions Open for Best of Show Awards at NAB 2026
The new server platform and HTML5 virtual broadcast console are part of Wheatstone’s Layers software-based broadcast suite for virtualizing audio processing, mixing, and streaming as an extension of the WheatNet IP audio network.
