$\"Calrec$ <\/a>The Athens-based radio station has switched to an AoIP workflow with Calrec’s modular Type R audio console<\/h3>\n
Greek radio station Pepper 96.6 FM have joined a growing number of stations around the world<\/a> in upgrading their studios with the Calrec Type R<\/a>, Calrec\u2019s modular IP-based audio console designed specifically for radio and broadcast production.<\/p>\n
On the air for over 10 years now, Pepper FM delivers a variety of daily music shows to its roughly 5 million listeners, playing a selection of contemporary musical styles such as jazz, rock, funk and reggae, as well as hosting the occasional talk show.<\/p>\n
The new system comprises a single fader panel and LSP touch-screen, illustrating how Type R\u2019s modular design can provide even smaller stations with the building blocks for moving to a modern IP workflow, with the option to further expand at a later date if required. The deal was overseen by Calrec\u2019s Greek partner Bon Studio S.A<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\u201cCalrec\u2019s Type R for Radio has many features that are highly valuable to us,\u201d says Anastasios Labropoulos, Technical Director at Pepper 96.6 FM<\/a>. \u201cSome of the most important ones are around IP technology; expandability for the future; ease of utilization; ease of upgrading software; and last but not least, the number of I\/Os and faders.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSince we are primarily a music station, we had no need for a larger console; the current configuration of the Type R with specific I\/O and faders fully covers our needs. Moreover, our co-operation with Bon Studio S.A., Calrec\u2019s distributor in Greece, has been over many years and our trust was crucial to our final choice for purchasing the Type R for our station.\u201d<\/p>\n

$\"Full$ <\/a>Calrec Type R for Radio<\/h4>\n
Each Calrec Type R system is powered by a Core, with each Core featuring enough resources to power up to three different console configurations simultaneously, either locally or remotely.<\/p>\n
Compliant with SMPTE 2110, Type R is fully compatible with the NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 discovery and connection management specifications. The intuitive and versatile GUI allows for simple and more extensive levels of control<\/a>, and can be easily customised to meet the requirements of any radio station.<\/p>\n
“We are thrilled to have Type R for Radio in our OnAir studio and are very satisfied with its configuration and seamless operation,” adds Labropoulos. “If I had to choose from a number of impressive characteristics, I would strongly emphasize the excellent mic preamps, which we regard to be of great quality!”<\/p>\n
Graham Murray, International Sales Manager at Calrec, commented \u201cClearly, there\u2019s a need for radio products that are IP-native and that are affordable and expandable as the industry continues to move in that direction, and that\u2019s one of the key strengths of our Type R for Radio console. Even in a minimal configuration, Pepper FM is able to handle all its requirements in a small footprint and still delivers superb audio quality around the clock.\u201d<\/p>\n
