Calrec has announced enhanced versions of its Brio broadcast console – the Brio Duet and Brio Medley packages provide higher channel counts and expanded connectivity as standard.

‘We’re very proud of the way the Brio has been embraced by the market and that its versatility has been so widely recognised, but it’s so important to keep across market requirements,’ says VP of Sales, Dave Letson. ‘We’ve listened to our customers’ changing needs and our new Brio Duet and Brio Medley packages have increased capabilities at excellent value for money.

‘With Brio Duet, we’ve upgraded the Brio’s base specification, and Brio 36 Duet becomes the baseline Brio console with an increased input channel count of 96 channels – up from 64 – to deal with surround and immersive mixing, as well as standard or slim trims where space is at a premium, and at a reduced price of £22,500. The Brio Medley package adds a Dante or Madi expansion card and a Br.IO I/O box with 24 mic/line inputs, 16 analogue outputs and eight AES I/Os at a reduced list price of £25,950.

‘Both packages provide better value for money to our customers, and a much broader appeal to people working in more specialist areas like smaller outside broadcast units and flypacks.’

For existing Brio customers, Calrec is offering an upgrade option to 96 channels on a 64 channel Brio.
