Såo Paulo-based R3 Estudio Movel has chosen a Calrec Artemis Ray console for its new PowerTruck OB, which will handle the company’s audio recording and mixing for live broadcast, as well as for music DVDs and streaming.
‘The truck is set up for mixing and recording music,’ confirms Isaías Rosa, R3’s recording/mixing engineer and multi-Latin Grammy nominee. ‘The Artemis Ray has excellent sound quality; we use it in a 72-fader configuration, which is great for live music mixing as we have the faders set up on one layer.’ Additionally, he says that, when assessing the audio console market, ‘the Artemis met all the requirements of our truck’, and highlights versatility as key to drawing him to the console.
The R3 Estudio Movel truck set-up uses two Waves cards, one Dante card and six Madi cards. The on-stage setup includes 128 mic pre-amps and two Madi cards.
The company creates around 40 music DVDs a year – including one recently for Sony Music’s Brazilian funk artist Nego do Borel – plus its work on live broadcasts and streaming.
‘This project is a great example of how the Artemis console can really spread its wings with different types of broadcasts, including live music,’ says Calrec International Sales Manager, Mike Reddick. ‘It’s a testament to its power, versatility and superior sound quality. We’re delighted that R3 Estudio Movelis reaping the benefits of all that the Artemis has to offer.’
