NORTHRIDGE, California
— Delivering a greater
level engagement that ever for customers and visitors, HARMAN’s Soundcraft
Studer is taking to the road with its newly refurbished truck, featuring a
range of Soundcraft Studer digital mixing consoles, JBL Professional LSR Series
studio monitors and AKG microphones and headphones.
The Salon
area of the truck now features a unique and versatile “workstation” setup where
any combination of three Soundcraft and Studer consoles (a Soundcraft Vi1, a
Soundcraft Vi4 and a Studer Vista 5) can be matched with a variety of JBL LSR6325P
studio monitor systems and flat-screen video displays, which are placed along
movable tracks so that each console can be configured with any speaker
combination to replicate virtually any mixing scenario. This combination of
products can also easily be configured into training stations, utilizing the
video monitors, AKG K240 headphones and Soundcraft Studer’s series of training
videos. A pair of AKG D5 microphones is also available for use.
The Studio
area features Studer’s flagship Vista 9 digital mixing console, which features
I/O sharing with the Vista 5 in the Salon via Studer’s RELINK resource linking
system. The system is complemented by a JBL LSR6328P surround sound monitoring
system. The truck is also showcasing compatibility of Soundcraft Studer
consoles with Riedel RockNet’s audio distribution networking technology and all
Soundcraft consoles take a multichannel audio feed from the Vista 9 I/o via
MADI.
With the
redesign and refurbishment, the Soundcraft Studer truck can now demonstrate up
to six mixing consoles at any one time, and features a rackmounted Soundcraft
Si Compact 16 small-footprint digital console, plus a rackmounted iPad featuring
the Soundcraft ViSi app, allowing control of any Soundcraft console on the
truck at any time.
The interior
of the truck is now adorned with state-of-the-art LED lighting, which can be
modified to create different moods and atmospheres depending on the activity. The
LED lighting was an important environmental and energy-efficient decision as
they use an eighth of the power of a traditional incandescent or halogen light
and are not harmful when disposed of.
Leaving no
detail unattended, the upgraded truck’s exterior is UV-treated to improve
temperature control for client comfort, and features the iconic performance
faces well known from Soundcraft Studer’s advertising campaign.
The Studer
truck will continue to be used as the centerpiece for the overwhelmingly
successful Studer Broadcast Academy training and open house series. A Studer
Broadcast Academy session is scheduled for the SBE 22 Expo in Verona, New York
on October 11. The Studer truck will also be on display at the 133rd
AES Convention in San Francisco on October 27-29.
“With our
world-class range of consoles on board, combined with tremendous flexibility
and a new sleek design, we feel the new Soundcraft Studer truck reflects our
attitude as a company: that we’re all about providing a first-class experience
for longtime Soundcraft Studer customers as well as those new to our products,”
said Katy Templeman-Holmes of Soundcraft Studer. “We are eager to show off our
range of consoles for the broadcast and live sound markets, as well as JBL’s
market-leading studio monitors and AKG’s world-class microphones. Everyone is
encouraged to come see and hear our new truck for themselves!”
The new
Studer truck will kick off with a brief tour in the northeastern United States on
September and will be on the road until just before the AES show. If you are
located in the Northeast and are interested in scheduling an open house for
your company, please visit usa.studer.ch to register online.
