Custom Consoles Fits Out Sheffield Uni

News Image
Two Custom Consoles Module-R Lite control room desks have been commissioned by the University of Sheffield as part of a new 'Broadcast Zone' for the Department of Journalism Studies.

Both desks are housed in the television production gallery forming part of a production suite which also includes a multi-camera HDTV studio, voiceover booths and radio studio.

"Custom Consoles Module-R Lite desks are used in many broadcast production studios as well as in the academic sector and were highly recommended to us," said broadcast facilities manager Jesse Armstrong. "These were important factors in our overall choice of equipment as we obviously want our students to learn in an essentially real-world television and radio production environment.

"The larger of the two desks is a 2.6 by 0.93 metre design configured for three operators. It is being used for lighting and vision control. A Zero88 Jester lighting control desk is located in front of the central operator. A computer monitor display is mounted on an Ergotron user-adjustable support arm in front of the left and right operator positions. Three equipment pods, each with 3U capacity and sloping front panels, are integrated along the central section of this desk.

"Positioned in parallel behind the vision control desk is a 1.6 x .09 metre audio control desk equipped for two operators. This has a single monitor display mounted on the left side and accommodates a Mackie 1202 audio mixer. Both desks were delivered and fitted on site within 10 days of order. Finished in oak with black work surfaces, they have exactly the look and feel we require of a fully professional programme production facility."

A mix-and-matchable control room furniture system, the Custom Consoles Module-R product range allows desks to be configured to meet specific demands from a selection of pods, base sections, 19 inch rack housings, worktops, end-panel modules and legs. Coordinated desk pods are available as single-bay sections with up 10U chassis capacity.

Module-R Lite is identical in design to the standard Module-R range but based on 930 mm front-to-back rather than 1,200 mm front-to-back desk dimensions.
