Digital Audio Technology In Radio Nation Kenya

Radio Nation is a privately owned Kenyan radio station founded in 2002 as part of the Nation Media Group.

It was originally known as Easy FM and since 2019 under the current name Nation FM. The station has nationwide coverage, with central studios in the country’s capital Nairobi and repeaters in the nation's main cities.

Radio Nation has a varied programme of news, sports and music, always in English, broadcasting on 96.3FM for the central core of Kenya, and it is also possible to follow the broadcasts from their comprehensive website.

The company's technical management decided in the last renovation to select AEQ FORUM SPLIT as the digital console for its main broadcast studio, for its ease of use, robustness of operation, and high audio quality. AEQ FORUM IP SPLIT is a mixing console designed for ONAIR broadcast control. It incorporates all the basic features necessary in this type of environment: automatic monitor cut, cough cut, faderstart, signalling control, control signals for the automation of external equipment, external communications management, intercommunication, etc.

With its modular design and small size, AEQ FORUM adapts perfectly to different scenarios: self-control, control-locutory, TV production controls, sound production, mixed configurations, integration in large installations, etc. Simplicity and control power are combined in the AEQ FORUM IP console to cover both basic and advanced operation needs. The FORUM IP SPLIT version comes with the FR CORE modular engine in 3 rack units. It can be composed of up to 6 quad fader modules and a control and monitoring unit.

AEQ FORUM can be equipped with AoIP multi-channel input and output cards compatible with the new AES67 protocol via DANTE™ technology. Through this connectivity, signals can be picked up and delivered to other consoles, routers, and other input and output terminal equipment from over 300 different manufacturers. It is also possible to choose MADI connectivity, and can be equipped with up to two internal digital telephone hybrids.
