Calrec Audio’s momentum in the Romanian television marketplace has seen Pro TV upgraded its extensive Calrec installation with the addition of an Artemis Beam audio mixing console.

Pro TV is one of Romania’s most popular private TV channels, reaching around 99 per cent of the country’s viewing population with a broad mix of news and entertainment programming. Pro TV News not only received an International Emmy Award in 2008, but also is considered to be one of the most popular newscasts in Romania.

‘For years now, Calrec has been one of our trusted partners,’ says Pro TV studio coordinator, Octavian Diac. ‘We know we can count on the reliability, ease-of-use, and high-quality sound of Calrec audio desks. The new Artemis Beam audio console is allowing us to achieve new levels of routing and processing capacity for the locally produced shows that represent almost half of our programming line-up.’

Based in Bucharest, Pro TV relies on numerous previous-generation Calrec Audio consoles, with the 340-channel Artemis Beam replacing a ten-year-old Calrec Sigma console that had been in use in the main studio and will now be reassigned for auxiliary studio use.

‘We are pleased to be extending our ongoing partnership with Pro TV, one of Romania’s most-watched and highly respected broadcasters,’ says Calrec International Sales Manager, Michael Reddick. ‘The fact that Pro TV is willing to redeploy Sigma rather than retire it speaks volumes about the reliability and quality of our consoles.’

Calrec also counts RDS/RCS, Digisport, and Romanian National Television among its installed base in Romania.
