\"Calrec<\/a>Calrec Audio<\/a> helps train the next generation of broadcast professionals<\/h3>\n

An increasing number of universities and colleges now offer education in broadcast audio, providing specialist training to the next generation of broadcast engineers.<\/p>\n

The popularity of live streaming, plus new sectors such as gaming and eSports<\/a>, has created additional opportunities in media production, alongside established sectors like TV and radio. Technical knowledge of audio networking also continues to be a growing demand, with a working knowledge of AoIP systems likely to be a necessity for future professionals building a career in audio.<\/p>\n

To provide students with the best possible foundation, theory is combined with technical training and hands-on, practical experience. Many schools are therefore equipping their studios with the same professional-standard consoles used throughout the audio industry, ensuring students become familiar with the hardware they will encounter post-graduation from the outset.<\/p>\n

Calrec Brio in education<\/h4>\n

\"Calrec<\/a>Calrec Audio has seen many recent installations of its broadcast consoles and audio networking in education, with the Calrec Brio<\/a> in particular becoming something of a go-to in this sector. Combining the power, flexibility and audio quality of Calrec\u2019s larger consoles in a small form factor, the Brio is a cost-effective option for colleges with smaller budgets, or for where space is at a premium.<\/p>\n

When the University of Surrey recently upgraded its television studio<\/a> with a Calrec Brio36 as part of a major refurbishment, Professor Tony Myatt, head of the Department of Music and Media, described Calrec as being \u201cthe obvious choice as industry leaders in the field.\u201d Students are taking advantage of the Brio\u2019s networking capabilities by expanding its connectivity via an additional I\/O box, including inputs for a MADI card that connects the Brio to the facility\u2019s main audio studio, and a Dante card to teach students audio over IP.<\/p>\n

Despite its compact size, the Brio36 doesn\u2019t compromise on functionality or features. There are two options available, with a 36-fader dual layer surface (the Brio36), or an even smaller 12-fader dual-layer surface (the Brio12<\/a>). Both models provide more faders in a given footprint than any other comparable audio console. Coupled with this is the Brio\u2019s budget-friendly price-point, which was listed by California-based Chapman University as one of the top reasons they chose the console for their Dodge College of Film and Media Arts programmes.<\/p>\n

Brio has the same DSP at its heart as any other console in Calrec\u2019s highly successful Bluefin2 range, meaning its sound quality is identical to the company\u2019s larger consoles, which are used on the world\u2019s highest profile televised events. The console\u2019s mic pre\u2019s are clear and transparent, and feature excellent transient response. In addition to the quality of the EQs, compressors and dynamic range, Calrec\u2019s product engineers are laser-focused on keeping the surface layout as clear as possible.<\/p>\n
