An introduction to another complex OB presentation facility installed within MCR21 – the sound mixer desk. This provides comprehensive audio signal control and routing for all the sounds intended to accompany transmitted video signals. About 28 gain/balance controls, along with a similar number of faders and switches are available for the Sound Engineer to support the programme.
Brian explains the start-up procedure and how some of the facilities are used. We also have a look at some of the modules fitted to the sound desk, which also includes features such as automatic PSU switching, programme meter and talk-back amplifiers.
