Brazil's Radio Cruzeiro Modernises Its Digital Operation

Radio Cruzeiro was founded by the Cruzeiro do Sul Cultural Foundation, driven by the initiative of the directors of the Cruzeiro do Sul newspaper, who wanted to create an educational-cultural channel on the radio.

The station began broadcasting in November 1995, and since then, Cruzeiro FM 92.3 has evolved, offering programming that combines music and information to its audience. Recognised for its educational and cultural approach, the station has stood out in the interior of São Paulo for its credibility and advanced technological infrastructure. With 24-hour continuous programming, it continues to be a key space for listeners in Sorocaba and the region to express their opinions, while enjoying high quality musical and cultural content.

With the recent renovation of its main studio, Radio Cruzeiro has incorporated state-of-the-art digital technology, highlighting the ultra-compact AEQ CAPITOL IP12 mixer as the central core of the system. This equipment manages all the signals produced in the station, ensuring an efficient operation. The decision to opt for AEQ technology is based on its robustness, the superior quality of its digital audio and its ease of use, key factors for a team of experienced operators such as Cruzeiro FM.

AEQ CAPITOL IP12 is a Digital Audio mixing console with a fixed configuration of 12 faders. In CAPITOL IP the implementation of IP connectivity is based on a single module of 16 input and 16 output channels, incorporated in its core. One of the main qualities of AEQ CAPITOL IP is the wide input capacity available: 4 micro/line, 12 analog, 4 digital stereo AES/EBU (AES3), 2 digital stereo USB, 2 optional telephone lines, and optional digital multichannel audio links; 16 AoIP channels over two ethernet connectors or 64 MADI channels input over optical fibre.

AEQ CAPITOL console is widely recognised in local stations around the world, standing out for its digital technology with IP capabilities. This model is able to support the latest market demands, offering an intuitive operation and especially resistant. Its design makes it the ideal choice for small but busy studios, such as those of Radio Cruzeiro.
