Allen & Heath’s new dLive digital mixing system has been installed by popular Dutch regional TV and Radio station, RTV Drenthe. Alongside its TV and radio channels, RTV Drenthe operates mobile apps and a popular website, which attracts more than 500,000 visitors per month. In 2014, RTV Drenthe reached almost 22m visits.
RTV Drenthe recently moved to a larger premises to house the company’s growing TV, radio and online news channels, and required a versatile audio console to manage live music, preproduction and multitracking. Consulting pro audio and broadcast specialists, DIA Assen, the company selected the mid-sized S5000 Control Surface and DM48 MixRack.
‘RTV needed a console which could work as a standalone pro mixing system, and also satisfy the requirements of a professional engineer as well as someone with no audio mixing knowledge,’ says Jan Giezen from DIA Sound Light & Visual in Assen. ‘After a preview, the purchase decision was easy.’
‘dLive is an amazing sounding system with loads of tools for live and broadcast,’ says RTV Drenthe Technical Coordinator, Albert Slotboom. ‘Not only will it be possible to manage the system remotely on a tablet using the Editor control software programme but non-technical users can navigate the system, making it a very versatile mixer for a busy and dynamic newsroom.’
