Dual Fader Apollo Makes European Debut

Calrec Audio will make its European debut of its dual fader Apollo audio console, which offers the same immense processing power with double the amount of faders in the same footprint, at IBC 2011.
In the fast paced environment of live broadcast television Calrec understands that users need to have more control at their fingertips. This ergonomic design allows two layers of channels to be available simultaneously, a feature unrivalled by competing platforms.
The Calrec Apollo console relies on Bluefin 2, the next generation of Calrec's trademark Bluefin high-density signal processing system, to provide unrivalled resources. Bluefin2 gives Apollo up to 1020 channel processing paths, 128 programme busses, 96 IFB/Track outputs and 48 auxiliaries.
Apollo features a second dynamics section in each channel, more than 70 minutes of assignable delay, and three independent APFL systems for multiple operator use. As with all Calrec designs, the facilities do not share resources so they are available to the user at all times. Processing, power supplies and I/O routing are all fully redundant and contained in a compact, 8U chassis.
