AEQ To Showcase FORUM IP PLUS And SYSTEL MAX

AEQ will attend NAB 2026 in Las Vegas from 18–22 April, where it will unveil new professional audio solutions for production and broadcast.

At stand C3106, the company will present FORUM IP PLUS, an AoIP digital console for radio and television, alongside SYSTEL MAX, a call management and multiconferencing platform for broadcast and corporate use.

The appearance underscores AEQ's focus on flexible, scalable systems built for contemporary workflows, prioritising IP connectivity, seamless integration and operational efficiency.

FORUM IP PLUS is the latest evolution of AEQ's FORUM series. Designed to slot into modern IP infrastructures, it combines straightforward operation with extensive configuration, suiting everything from compact studios to complex facilities. It provides 32 mix and processing buses and 10 N-1 buses, plus multichannel connectivity via AoIP or MADI. Options include built-in telephone hybrids, a virtual control surface and a touchscreen for control and monitoring. Its modular 3RU FR_CORE engine supports up to 24 motorised faders in banks of four and up to 180 channels, delivering a powerful, scalable platform for current broadcast demands.

Alongside the console, AEQ will introduce SYSTEL MAX, a next-generation call-in and multiconferencing system developed for radio, television and other professional environments requiring robust, high-quality communications.

Leveraging VoIP technology and the SIP protocol, SYSTEL MAX integrates broadcast communications with existing IP PBXs, corporate telephony systems and IP service providers, helping to cut operating costs and do away with traditional dedicated lines. The system scales to manage up to 128 lines across multiple studios.

Its non-blocking digital matrix and Dante/AES67 connectivity allow multiple calls to go on air simultaneously without compromising audio quality. Control is available through software applications and touchscreen terminals, fitting the workflows of producers, engineers and presenters across radio and TV.

Visitors to NAB 2026 can try FORUM IP PLUS and SYSTEL MAX first-hand, along with other AEQ products, at stand C3106 from 18–22 April. AEQ staff will provide demonstrations and guidance on integrating the new tools into radio, television and professional communications projects.
