PR&E® Oasis™

On-Air and Production Audio Console


Part of the Harris® PR&E® portfolio, Oasis™ is a high-value standalone audio console for on-air and radio production applications. Simply connect microphones, source equipment and audio monitors — even a PC automation channel (no sound card required) — directly into the Oasis console and be on the air.

Designed with next-generation studio demands in mind, Oasis allows facilities to cost-effectively and easily migrate from analog to digital whenever they’re ready. In addition to capabilities for all necessary audio and logic components, Oasis provides both analog and digital outputs that enable facilities to connect to modern STLs and studio infrastructures.

Product Details

Options and Installation
The Oasis audio console is available in two sizes: 8-fader channels and 12-fader channels.

Oasis has several input card options — a balanced analog A/B input card, a microphone line A/B input card, an AES Digital A/B card, and a USB/AES A/B card. Each hot-swappable card represents eight total inputs available to the four corresponding faders.

The console provides all the monitoring outputs needed, including monitor and headphones for control room and studio. It even offers a remote level control option for the studio monitors, along with a direct “talk to studio” interface from the console.

Oasis features two meters, the second of which is switchable. It also displays an event timer with the controls necessary to track all show elements.

In addition to the host of standard Oasis features, an optional 8x1 RLS module is also available as an option for input expansion. The control for this remote line selector is offered in a convenient console drop-in panel.

Easy Connections
Phoenix Conbicon connectors allow for rapid and easy wiring without the need for any special crimpers or tools.

Test Conditions
  • FSD = Full Scale Digital, +24 dBu
  • Analog outputs measured with >1 k ohm load
  • Total Harmonic Distortion (THD+N) is measured at +18 dBu, using a 1 kHz or a swept signal with a 22 kHz low pass filter
  • 0 dBu corresponds to 0.775 volts RMS — regardless of the circuit impedance, which is equal to 0 dBm, as measured on a 600 ohm circuit
  • Noise specs use a 22 kHz measurement bandwidth. Using a 30 kHz bandwidth will increase the noise measurement by 1.7 dB
