At present, Office Terra engineers work on a Solid State Logic SL4000 G Series console, but have decided to upgrade to the new digital desk because it offers greater flexibility and versatility. Office Terra's engineers say they chose the C200 because it is ergonomically very similar to the SL4000 G they were used to, and therefore immediately felt familiar to them. Once installed, it will be used in conjunction with hard disk audio systems and digital VTRs.
The C200 provides the latest adaptation of SSL's popular in-line console heritage with a dedicated 'knob per function' control surface. It is particularly well suited to creative mixing applications, such as music or entertainment, where 'hands-on' access to a large number of controls is essential. In-line versatility and the provision of both snapshot and dynamic automation make the console ideal for both live-to-air and post production-mixing applications. A special 'Mobile' configuration is also available for compact studio or mobile installations.
Office Terra's C200 was ordered soon after its worldwide launch at the NAB Convention in Las Vegas. It will be installed in September in the facility's central Tokyo premises.
