This initial contract includes 10 pairs of PMC's AML1 and four pairs of DB1S-A two-way active monitors. They will feature in the newly converted ancient monastery located on the highest of the seven hills within the city of Rome. RDS's latest state of the art complex includes one main On-Air control room, four edit rooms, an extensive surround music production area and large live performance auditorium with control room. Estimated at over fifty million Euros, the station incorporates full redundancy backup across all electrical, audio and IT systems and will be due for its first transmission in the autumn of this year.
Luca La Rosa, technical manager with Feel Communications, who has specified and designed the entire on-air mixing and audio routing system, commented: "After extensive technical and subjective listening tests which involved the cream of current monitoring designs, we were pleased they specified the AML1 for the majority of the installations. RDS are the first of the Italian broadcasters who have gone against the grain and have placed a greater importance on the quality of their monitoring; something we will see filter down to other networks."
