Duet consoles<\/h4>\n<p>Underscoring its commitment to offering powerful market-leading consoles, Calrec has announced the launch of enhanced versions of its popular Brio console with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/calrec\/brio\/\">Brio Duet and Brio Medley<\/a> packages, which offer greater channel counts and expanded connectivity as standard, and at an even more competitive price.<\/p>\n<p>Dave Letson, VP of Sales, said, \u201cWe\u2019re very proud of the way the Brio has been embraced by the market and that its versatility has been so widely recognised, but it\u2019s so important to keep across market requirements. We\u2019ve listened to our customers\u2019 changing needs and our new Brio Duet and Brio Medley packages have increased capabilities at excellent value for money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Brio Duet we\u2019ve upgraded the Brio\u2019s base specification, and Brio 36 Duet becomes the baseline Brio console with an increased input channel count of 96 channels (up from 64) to deal with more surround and immersive mixing as well as standard or slim trims (where space is at a premium), and at a reduced price of \u00a322,500. The Brio Medley package adds a Dante or MADI expansion card and a Br.IO I\/O box with 24 mic\/line inputs, 16 analogue outputs and 8 x AES I\/Os at a reduced list price of \u00a325,950.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth packages provide better value for money to our customers, and a much broader appeal to people working in more specialist areas like smaller outside broadcast units and flypacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For existing Brio customers, Calrec is offering an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/calrec\/brio\/calrec-brio-36-dsp-expansion-upgrade\/\">upgrade option<\/a> to 96 channels on a 64 channel Brio.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about <a title=\"Calrec Brio Medley &#038; Duet Consoles at Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/calrec\/brio\/\">Calrec Brio Medley &amp; Duet<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11542 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Calrec-Audio-Logo-Synthax-Audio-UK-e1530099244563.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Calrec-Audio-Logo-Synthax-Audio-UK-e1530099244563.png 902w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Calrec-Audio-Logo-Synthax-Audio-UK-e1530099244563-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Calrec-Audio-Logo-Synthax-Audio-UK-e1530099244563-768x175.png 768w\" alt=\"Calrec Audio Logo - Synthax Audio UK\" width=\"202\" height=\"46\"><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to know more about the Calrec Brio 36 Duet &amp; Medley, Type R or Hydra2 network, or would like to arrange a practical demonstration, give us a call on <strong><a>01727 821 870<\/a><\/strong> to speak to one of our team.<\/p><\/body>\n<style>\np { font-size: 110%; } \nhr { margin: 5px 0; }\n<\/style>\n<\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating custom layouts for the Calrec Type R console with Calrec\u2019s Panel Designer software The Calrec Type R is a modular IP-based audio console designed for use in radio, TV and outside broadcast (OB).
