Serving live events for major sports leagues including the NHL, NBA and MLB as well as government entities, eSports, and news broadcasting, Canada’s Dome Productions has equipped its flagship Titan and Empire OB trucks with the installation of Calrec Artemis consoles. The upgrade reflects Dome’s commitment to delivering ‘unmatched audio experiences’.
‘We chose Calrec because of its reputation as the market-leading audio console provider for North American live events,’ says Senior Technical Manager and Titan and Empire’s Project Lead, Roberto da Conceicao Jr.
‘The Artemis is a brilliant console – its ease of integration and workflow compatibility with freelance crews and clients were a key factor in our decision. We also like its compact design, flexible routing, customizable control surface, integrated processing, and the way it easily integrates with Calrec’s Hydra2 network, which we’re using in both of the trucks.’
The set-up in both trucks uses a ST2110 IP core for routing, powered by Evertz NATX network–based broadcast distribution. The Artemis core is composed of an Artemis, with Bluefin 2 high-density signal processing, 64 multi-layer faders and Stagebox I/O, connected using Calrec’s Hydra2 network with an Evertz audio gateway for conversion to AoIP.
‘Hydra2 lets us expand and integrate additional I/O devices that are suitable for both small and large productions. It ensures that we can adapt to customer needs without significant overhaul,’ Conceicao says.
‘Dome Productions is no stranger to the capabilities of Calrec consoles, which is why the company was keen to install Artemis in its OB trucks,’ says Kypros Christodoulides Calrec Product Specialist at True North, the distributor that handled the sale. ‘Sports broadcasters in North America expect the highest quality production, they want to know these trucks have audio set-ups that excel in fast-paced sports and news environments.’
‘As a major provider of production facilities, Dome Productions stands as a cornerstone in the broadcasting industry, consistently setting the bar higher with its mobile production trucks,’ says Calrec’s Dave Letson. ‘Calrec is delighted to partner with Dome Productions, a client whose commitment to delivering unmatched audio experiences aligns perfectly with our own ethos of excellence.’
