Real input and output on gear from
Most AV jobs are still wired from memory.
The system lives in one tech’s head.
The spreadsheet stopped matching the rack months ago.
Floor pockets with no labels and no idea where they land.
Nobody knows how many circuits the amp rack needs.
Wireless picked by ear, right on top of a TV channel.
Approvals happen over text messages and screenshots.
Now imagine install day with a real package.
Every input traced to its source. Every jack labeled. Every circuit counted. Your crew builds it, your electrician wires it and your client signs off on it, all from the same drawing.
Install crews build from labeled schematics, plates and rack elevations instead of guessing.
Electricians get the circuit count for every amp rack before they pull wire.
RF techs get a clean frequency sheet that avoids local TV channels.
Clients review every sheet from a link, leave comments and approve it with their name.
Watch: find every unwired connector in a few clicks.
Plan, wire and document every AV system.
From the first mic to a finished, print-ready package.
Wire it like you’d build it.
Every device shows its real inputs and outputs. Drag from a port to another port and the cable is drawn, tagged and added to the schedule.
- Numbered wire tags like AUD-1012 and PWR-6002 printed on every cable
- Color-coded by signal: XLR, TRS, speakON, Dante, fiber, DMX, power
- Warns you before a bad hookup
- Show long runs as tags at each end so the sheet stays clean
Every cable, one click away.
The Cable Schedule builds itself as you wire and stays in sync with the drawing. Click any cable and Wire Designer jumps to it on the sheet.
- Tag, type, from, to, length, sheet and notes for every cable
- Edit in the schedule and the drawing updates with it
- Filter by tag, device or type; renumber in order
- Off-sheet labels show where a run continues
| Tag | Type | From | To | Len |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AUD-1001 | XLR | SM58 · Pastor | DX168 IN 1 | 25′ |
| AUD-1002 | XLR | ULXD4 · Lead | DX168 IN 2 | 6′ |

Stage box plates, done right.
Pick an ACE CONNECTRIX PNL plate, click each hole to drop in a connector and the next hole is selected for you. Label every port, then send the plate to your diagram.
- Every PNL-120 full panel and PNL-100 half panel
- XLR, combo, TRS, DMX, speakON, etherCON, BNC, HDMI, powerCON and more
- Real connector shapes with both rivet holes
- Plate ports act as pass-throughs in the wiring
Rack elevations sized for print. Front and rear.
Build racks from the same gear in your diagram. Flip to the rear view and every jack is drawn, with a green light on the ones that are plugged in. Click a jack to jump to its wire.
- Up to 4 racks per printed sheet, auto-sized to your paper
- Amp power, current and circuits shown above each rack
- Rear connections list traced through plates and stage boxes
- Total rack weight in the title
Frequency Assist. Clean RF without extra software.
Add a wireless mic or in-ear and Wire Designer asks which band is printed on the unit, then assigns a clean frequency. Type the venue ZIP and it marks local TV channels in red and coordinates around them.
- Spacing and 2- and 3-transmitter intermod checked on every pick
- Stays inside legal US FCC ranges for each band
- Assign missing or re-coordinate everything in one click
- Print it or download a CSV for the RF tech
| Channel | Band | Frequency | TV | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pastor | G50 | 472.325 | 15 | Clear |
| Worship Lead | G50 | 474.900 | 15 | Clear |
| BGV 1 | G50 | 479.550 | 16 | Clear |

Power before you show up.
Totals the amp draw for every rack at 120, 208, 230 or 240 V and sizes circuits at 80% of the breaker, so the electrician knows what to run.
