AMEK MEDIA 51’S WORLD CLASS SOUND FOR WALKRECORDING

AMEK, the British-based manufacturers of professional audio mixing consoles and signal processing devices, have supplied a 60-input frame Media 51 automated multi-format in-line production console to George Petit’s Walkrecording in New York City.
The console is being used for a broad range of recording and mixing projects – from music composition for TV and radio advertising to record releases.
Petit selected the Media 51 for its integral, premium-quality microphone preamps and equalisers designed by Rupert Neve, and for its sophisticated automation, particularly the Virtual Dynamics facility. The console was supplied by AMEK’s New York City dealers, Bobby Neil’s Your Audio Studio Resource.
The new Walkrecording facility, designed by Francis Manzella of FM Design, incorporates two live rooms in addition to the control room, allowing Petit to do more productive and more efficient advertising work, and also have the ability to do more live music. Petit also reported that, while surround projects have so far been relatively infrequent, he is looking forward to using the Media 51’s multi-format features, which include bussing, panning and signal path switching for popular surroun sound formats of up to eight channels wide in addition to standard stereo.
The Media 51 input modules offer the familiarity of in-line mixing, where the four band EQ may be split between the channel and mix paths, while associated high and low pass filters may alternatively be switched into dynamics side chain. (CD)
