Two powerful new features are now available to enhance your broadcasting workflow

We’re thrilled to announce two major new additions to XRadio that will transform how you handle live production and daily news operations. Our enhanced Cart Machine and comprehensive News management tool are now available, bringing professional-grade capabilities directly to your fingertips.

Cart Machine: Your New Live Production Powerhouse

Live radio just got a lot more exciting. Our redesigned Cart Machine gives you unprecedented control over complex productions with support for up to eight simultaneous playback layers. Whether you’re managing music, recorded segments, jingles, promos, or sound effects, everything flows seamlessly together.

The new drag-and-drop interface makes accessing your XRadio Library and external files incredibly intuitive. Switch effortlessly between automated programming and manual control for live events or special shows. Voice tracking integration ensures smooth transitions, while sequence looping keeps your background audio flowing perfectly.

What really sets this apart is the flexibility. Full remote control through GPI, UDP, and REST API means the Cart Machine adapts to your unique broadcasting setup. Plus, comprehensive logging keeps you compliant while providing valuable insights into your programming performance.

News Management: Professional Bulletins Made Simple

Our new News management system lets you create standardized bulletin templates with precise timing, custom durations, and integrated music themes that reinforce your station’s brand identity.

Build bulletins that seamlessly blend pre-recorded interviews, correspondent reports, and sound bites with live studio segments. The built-in teleprompter guides you through complex stories, ensuring smooth delivery every time. Your news will sound polished and professional, whether you’re covering routine updates or breaking stories.

Smart scheduling automatically triggers news blocks when needed, while emergency override capabilities let you break into programming instantly for urgent updates – all without disrupting your broader schedule.

Both the enhanced Cart Machine and News management tools are available now for all XRadio users. They integrate seamlessly with your existing setup – no additional hardware required, no complex configuration needed.

Introducing Talk Show System: Professional Call Management for Oxygen 3000 Plus

We’re excited to announce the launch of our latest innovation: the Talk Show System, a powerful software option exclusively designed for the Oxygen 3000 Plus console. This breakthrough solution transforms how broadcast professionals manage telephone integration, bringing enterprise-level call management capabilities directly to your mixing environment.

Simplifying Complex Phone Management

At AxelTech, we understand the challenges broadcasters face with traditional phone hybrid solutions. Expensive standalone systems often lack proper mixer integration and create workflow complications. That’s why we developed the Talk Show System, to deliver professional-grade phone management through seamless software integration.

Our new system manages up to 8 telephone lines of any type, POTS, BT, TELCO, and VoIP, channeling them through just one or two mixer inputs. This smart innovation eliminates surface clutter while maintaining full professional control over your phone operations.

Advanced Features for Professional Broadcasting

The Talk Show System includes a dedicated web interface that supports up to three independent operators, each with customized access rights tailored to their specific roles. Whether you’re screening calls, managing queues, or coordinating live interviews, every team member has the tools they need for efficient operation.

Our flexible operating modes adapt to any broadcast scenario. Use alternating queue mode for sequential caller management, conference mode to connect multiple callers simultaneously, or hybrid mode—perfect when combining remote guests with listener call-ins.

The system features virtual channel routing that consolidates all phone lines into two mixer sources (TalkShow 1 and TalkShow 2), a comprehensive caller database with real-time information and mood indicators, plus inter-operator chat functionality for seamless team coordination.

Value and Integration Excellence

Unlike expensive hardware solutions requiring complex integration, the Talk Show System activates through software only, no additional hardware investment needed. This approach delivers professional phone hybrid capabilities at a fraction of traditional costs while offering superior integration with your Oxygen 3000 Plus.

The system can potentially reduce your required fader count, enabling operation with more compact mixing surfaces while maintaining full professional capabilities. A perfect example of our commitment to intelligent, efficient design.

Available Now

The Talk Show System is available for all Oxygen 3000 Plus users. Existing console owners can upgrade through simple software activation, while new installations can include this option from the start.
