The AX2 is the first lighting console in the ADJ portfolio built on the ONYX platform — a 32-universe DMX engine packaged in a compact integrated desk. With Intel hexa-core processing, NVMe storage and 16GB of DDR4 RAM, all universes are handled inside the console itself, removing the need for external nodes or dedicated processing hardware.
