Opened in 2011, SSR Jakarta was the first overseas branch of the SSR institution – the first audio engineering school in the UK. In the intervening time, it has established itself as one of Indonesia’s best audio training facilities, running courses including the flagship Audio Engineering Techniques & Technology course. Its most recent move is the installation of an Allen & Heath GS-R24 FireWire recording mixer and Pro Tools 10 system.
‘Our GS-R24 Studio provides a good and comfortable environment with a great acoustic design,’ says Jason O Bryan, head of the Audio Engineering Technicques and Technology (AETT) programme. ‘Students have an ideal environment in which to learn the fundamentals of analogue signal flow, patching and digital recording.
‘GS-R24 integrates with Pro Tools, and it’s like having a dedicated HUI controller embedded in the analogue heart of desk. You press a channel Select button, and you get instant access to all key functions in the master section.’
Running alongside its studio facilities, SSR Jakarta has an 80-capacity live venue that serves its Live Sound Engineering, Live Sound for Worship, and Digital Film and Music Video Production Courses. This facility is equipped with an Allen & Heath ML4000 VCA console, GL2400 dual function mixer and iLive-T80 with iDR-32 digital mixing system for students to learn both analogue and digital systems.
