HARMAN's Studer Serves Up 'Haute Cuisine'

Audiopole, the French distributor for HARMAN's Studer, has supplied the country's first Vista 5 M3 to audiovisual technical services provider Euro Media.
The solution forms the hub of a technical package for a converted studio in a Paris industrial building.
It is now used to host C à vous, a live, primetime program about cuisine, broadcast by France 5, in which guests join host Anne-Sophie Lapix 'at home.'
The program, presented by Anne-Sophie Lapix and featuring food critics and guest chefs, is filmed in a loft where it occupies a fixed set. Audiopole director Jean-Philippe Blanchard describes it as "a highly credible studio facility."
Space in the audio control room is limited; however, Euro Media required a large-capacity console. The Vista 5 M3 was selected, featuring the TM7 touch screen loudness metering.
"The Vista 5 M3 is a sensible use of their budget—and it's the first sale of this console in France," Blanchard said.
"They particularly like the FaderGlow™ feature, and they are really enjoying using the integrated loudness bar graph." The console is used in conjunction with Studer's VistaMix.
Instead of needing to manually adjust all the faders each time, VistaMix automatically mimics the action of a human operator so that 'talking' mic gain can be increased at lightning speed while reducing gain for all others.
