TSL PAM2 multi-channel audio monitoring at the Olympic Games

Loudness-compliance monitoring and the ability to easily monitor 16 tracks of embedded Audio, among the critical features why numerous broadcasters have opted for these systems.

TSL Professional Products has announced that more than 130 PAM2 multichannel monitoring systems will be used for loudness compliance and monitoring of up to 16 channels of embedded audio by numerous international broadcasters during the London Olympic Games.

The PAM2 solution offers an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, making direct implementation for temporary installations created for the event and its engineers, who do not have the luxury of spending time on complicated training.

Chris Exelby, CEO of TSL Professional Products, is very pleased "to have installations for the BBC, NEP, China's CCTV and Brazil's Globosat, as well as inclusion in Bexel flypacks, created specifically for gaming. The PAM2 units will provide a high degree of security for broadcasters interested in loudness compliance, and the review and monitoring of many possible audio feeds for audio production."
