Middlesex Uni Installs S3000 Surface In TV Production Facilities

Middlesex University has installed a S3000 surface in the TV production facilities at its Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries in Hendon, North London, from Allen and Heath.

The university's Sony-designed facilities were created to give students as close to a real-world learning and working environment as possible. Boasting a double-height main studio and separate main, VT and sound galleries, they are equipped to a standard comparable to commercial studios and see a diverse range of programme creation – including a significant amount of live music production – throughout the academic year.

"When we were looking to replace our existing audio desk, I was considering very 'broadcast-specific' options," Aidan Delaney (Technical Manager at the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries) explained. "However, we do such a variety of things here that dLive simply made much more sense. It’s a real chameleon and we can use it for whatever we need, no matter the scenario. It's incredibly flexible and easy to use – plus the feature-rich specs, including the excellent onboard dynamics, really made it the obvious choice in the end."

Supplied by Moonlite Productions - selected for their in-depth knowledge of Allen & Heath products and after-sales support - the complete dLive system comprises an S3000 (fitted with Dante 64x64 card for multitrack recording of live music sessions) paired with a DM48 MixRack and two additional DX168 AudioRacks; a set-up that serves the University’s needs perfectly.
