Funding towards the end of 2006 allowed for the replacement of an old analogue broadcast console which had been in use in teaching of radio and journalism courses for approximately 12 years. "I had done some investigation into digital broadcast consoles and it basically came down to two consoles from Klotz DIgital's rival manufacturers," says George Hyde, the technological officer (Audio) of the university's School of Design, Communication and IT.
"What swayed me to the Xenon was its out-of-the-box pre-configuration. It allowed me as an inexperienced user of digital broadcast consoles, the comfort of knowing that it would be simply a matter of slotting the console into our pre-existing framework within the studio."
