The audio control for a new OB van commissioned by Croatia’s Gama Studio is centred on a 40-fader Calrec Artemis Light digital mixing console, providing a high level of flexibility and digital signal processing for improved handling of live sports and entertainment events. The  truck is already billed as one of the most advanced in Croatia's broadcast market.

‘We wanted the highest-quality systems, and Calrec has a tremendous reputation for top-of-class audio consoles,’ says Gama Studio Sound Engineer, Davor Omerza. ‘There are so many selling points – the integrated audio router, all-optical connections to stageboxes, redundancy and support for audio formats including AES/EBU, Dante and Madi. Calrec and Artemis made our choice an easy one.’
