Roll To Record Installs Calrec Audio Console

Roll to Record, NEP's UK based provider of custom studios and control rooms, has installed a console from Calrec Audio in its permanent studio operation at the Wimbledon TV Studios complex in London.

The permanent installation eliminates the need to install a flyaway console every time NEP does a show at Wimbledon Studios, saving both time and money.
"Having the new Calrec console in place means we can easily attract more customers to our production service at Wimbledon Studios," said Paul Fournier, head of sound at NEP Roll to Record. "Having a Calrec console in a facility always sells. Calrec is a well-known brand with proven reliability, and there are plenty of freelancers who already know how to operate the consoles. That's why we are a Calrec company."
NEP installed a 40-fader Artemis console along with three remote stageboxes, one remote AES box, and a dual MADI box. A modular I/O box has been built into the racks in the master control room to provide further analog and digital inputs and outputs along with GPIO control. The console is built into the infrastructure of the studio, but the control surface can be moved easily from one production control room to another because it requires only two fiber connections. Calrec's Hydra2 plug-and-play architecture means that the console is easily configured to manage any of the studio floors.
The console is being used on a variety of productions, including quiz shows and small 'light entertainment' shows.
