Custom Consoles To Launch SystemTwo-Lite Motorised Workstations At IBC 2009

Custom Consoles has announced the first of two major new additions to its range of broadcast and post-production studio furniture. SystemTwo-Lite to be launched at IBC 2009 in September, is a single-surface electrically height-adjustable desk designed specifically for use with flat screen monitors.
Graham Buchanan, Custom Consoles' Commercial Director, said: "The original SystemTwo desk has been one of our flagship products since its introduction nine years ago. It was designed to accommodate CRT-based Grade One picture monitors as well as flat-panel monitors on an optional second shelf above the main workdesk. Most post-production companies now use flat-panel monitors which are much lighter in weight and more space-efficient in terms of front-to-back depth. A natural progression of the earlier design, SystemTwo-Lite has an integral rear shelf which accept up to three adjustable monitor mounts providing scope for a variety of screen layouts. SystemTwo will remain in production as its dual-shelf configuration is still in demand for holding auxiliary equipment."
At the touch of a button, SystemTwo-Lite can be adjusted in height between 660 and 1,200 mm, enabling operators to vary their seated or standing posture throughout the working day. An electronic anti-collision sensor safeguards the desk if it comes into contact with an adjacent object during height adjustment. The desk has a 2,000 by 900mm footprint and curved corners with PVC edging. SystemTwo-Lite incorporates a wood finish with a hard-wearing Marmoleum dual-coloured work surface. Other finishes are available on request. Additional features include four front-facing worktop-mounted USB ports, five individually fused mains sockets and two rear-facing RJ45 adapters.
SystemTwo-Lite is available with an optional matching 840 x 750 mm 13 U stabilised pedestal, a PC mounting kit and a 27 U equipment storage bay (610 x 810 mm footprint). A 27 U quiet bay with glazed front door, rear fan unit and temperature indicator are also available; this has a 610 x 885 mm footprint.
The entire SystemTwo-Lite range conforms to BS EN ISO9241 - 5 ergonomic standards, BS EN527-1 dimensional specifications, BS 6396 cable management and BS 4875/6/7 structural integrity standards.
Built at Custom Consoles' UK manufacturing facility, the SystemTwo-Lite range is available with typical lead times of seven to ten working days.
