Large-scale production studio re-opens in Tokyo

Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS), one of Japan's leading commercial broadcasters, has re-opened Studio 1 at its Broadcast Production Centre in TBS Square in the Akasaka district of Tokyo.
The refurbished Studio 1, a specialised facility for radio production with a large area acoustically optimised for recording large-scale music entertainment shows and live broadcasting, now features SSL's MT Production Digital Production Console at the heart of operations in the control room.
The 32-fader, 64-channel MTP replaces an SL 5000 Series analogue console which has seen many years service at TBS, where it was similarly used on-air, and for recording.
According to SSL Japan's General Manager Takeo Asano, the selection of the MTP was unanimous: "TBS Radio needed large-scale production capability and demanded high audio quality. The staff all decided that, when migrating to digital, the MTP was the natural and perfect successor to the SL 5000 Series."
The first task for the new console on the day of reopening was the recording of a special studio session of popular Japanese singer/composer Ami Ozaki and her band.
The Broadcast Centre in Akasaka contains nine TV and eight radio studios in the 20 storey building known locally as 'Big Hat' as the top floor is a large parabolic deck which changes colour to forecast tomorrow's weather. In 2001, the broadcaster celebrated its 50th anniversary.
