Mixing desk for talking newspapers

So the last mixing desk at Coventry talking newspaper has lasted over 25 years. With parts of the desk failing and a change in the way we record audio programmes, it was time to research into a mixing console that will cope with todays audio broadcaster :

Available from broadcast warehouse, a similar setup to our existing setup from d-r.nl. A system setup for live broadcast and production studio.

The Qu-pac looks very revolutionary with a rack system and the console desk operated by an ipad. Great for portability.

On a more portable level, roland are offering a portable 8 input device that’s as good as complete studio setup. Classed as the r-88 model. http://proav.roland.com/products/r-88/
