The purpose of the exercise was to create some isolation booths and a new lounge. This entailed converting a 'technical' room into a large (dividable) room and converting what was the original (1932 - 1957) control room into a smaller 'drums' booth. There has also been a major investment in HD video facilities in studio 2 and throughout the whole building.
As well as extensive use of Van Damme Blue Series multipair audio cable, the cable requirements also included Van Damme HD Vision flexi coax, 5-way Red Series mini coax, and Van Damme Green Series Digi Grade cable, specifically designed for the accurate transmission of AES/EBU digital audio signals. Van Damme Tour Grade Classic XKE Starquad is used for microphone cables. The studio also uses VDC stage and wall boxes, with custom built front panels.
