Turkey’s national horse racing TV channel has invested in Allen & Heath mixing systems in a digital upgrade.
The new installation is based around dLive S Class and GLD mixing systems, and Genelec monitoring: ‘We really needed to upgrade our current analogue mixing desk to improve total system latency, network audio options and expandable input/output options,’ explains Turkey Jockeys’ Club (TJK) Sound Director, Nizamettin Korkmaz.
The dLive system comprises a S7000 Surface with DM48 MixRack fitted with a Dante network card, plus a DX32 expander rack for AES inputs and another one for AES outputs. The Club also has two GLD-80 mixers with AB168 Racks for smaller studios, which are also Dante-enabled to enable connection to the main audio system.
‘All the Station’s sound engineers are very comfortable with the Allen & Heath mixers during live broadcasts or on daily routines, such as talk shows. The complicated audio routing and monitoring requirements of the studios are easily handled by the systems,’ Korkmaz says.
Established in 1950, Turkey Jockeys’ Club (TJK) is based in Instanbul, founded and endorsed by the Ministry of Argriculture as the only official horse breeding and racing organisation in the country.
