Professional audio & intercom

Clean audio and clear comms,
end to end.

Mixing, routing, DSP, wireless microphones, intercom and IFB, designed and commissioned on Dante and the standards you already run.

heard, on air and in the crew's ears
CH 01THE MIX

The mix.

The desk, the processing behind it, and the meters that prove the mix meets spec.

Mixing & consoles

Desks sized to the input count and set up for the person who runs them, from a volunteer on Sunday to a broadcast A1.

DSP

Processing for feedback control, coverage and automatic mixing in rooms that run without an engineer.

Loudness & monitoring

Levels metered against the loudness target the program has to meet.

CH 02THE NETWORK

The network.

Most audio now travels on a network, so routing, clocking and redundancy are planned along with the mix.

Audio routing

Existing analog and AES sources brought onto the network alongside the console you have.

Dante audio-over-IP

Many channels on one network cable, routed in Dante Controller, with clocking and redundancy set out in the design.

Embed & de-embed

Audio put into and taken out of the SDI video wherever the chain requires it.

CH 03THE COMMS

The comms.

The audio the audience never hears, and the crew can't work without.

Intercom systems

Party-line and point-to-point, wired and wireless, across a room, a building or a campus network.

IFB

Program audio and producer cues routed to each talent position.

Commentary positions

Announcer's consoles with talkback and a cough function, one per position.

CH 04THE MICS

The microphones.

The part of audio the audience does hear: presenters, panels, officiants and council members, in the room and on the stream.

Wireless systems

Digital wireless chosen for the frequency band available where the system will run, with frequencies coordinated before the event.

Meeting-room and chamber mics

Gooseneck, boundary and ceiling array microphones for tables, daises and lecterns.

Spectrum checks

Older wireless on bands that can no longer be used is identified before an upgrade is quoted.

Straight answers

What audio owners ask.

Q·01Can volunteers run a console like this?

Yes, with the right console and the right setup. Scenes, safe layers, and sensible labeling turn a professional desk into a Sunday-morning-proof one. Training the rotation is part of the job.

Q·02Can our existing console join a Dante network?

Very often, via a card or gateway. We audit what you own before proposing anything; keeping good gear in service is usually the right call.

Q·03Can intercom reach across buildings or sites?

Often, yes. IP intercom can link a campus, a venue and a control room across town into one system when the network between them is designed for it. We plan the intercom and the network together.

Q·04Are our wireless mics still legal?

Not if they tune to the 700 MHz band or most of the 600 MHz band. Federal spectrum auctions reassigned those frequencies, and wireless microphones had to stop using them. We'll check what you own and tell you which systems still qualify.

Q·05What does an audio rebuild cost?

The console is the visible line, but routing, networking, wireless, and comms usually decide the number. So does how much of your existing plant survives; equipment worth keeping stays in service. We audit first and quote what the room needs, not the whole catalog.

Q·06Can you fix the room, or just the gear?

Processing fixes a lot: intelligibility, feedback, uneven coverage. It can't repeal physics. When the answer is treatment or speaker placement rather than more equipment, we'll say so, because a well-tuned modest system beats an expensive one fighting its room.
