ENCO and AEQ work as a team

ENCO develops an interface that allows bi-directional communication over IP between the AEQ Forum and AEQ Capitol mixing consoles and the ENCO DAD system.

ENCO y AEQ have announced today, coinciding with the opening of the NAB Radio Show, (Dallas Texas), a link between the ENCO DAD automation platform and AEQ digital consoles.

ENC, a company founded in 1983 specializing in playout and automation and with headquarters in Southfield (Michigan), has developed an interface that allows bi-directional communication over IP between the AEQ Forum and AEQ Capitol mixing consoles and the ENCO DAD system, giving customers maximum ease of operation. These AEQ consoles incorporate USB audio devices that can be connected directly to an ENCO DAD workstation, eliminating the need for a sound card.

ENCO and AEQ have partnered for this new interface, as both companies offer very advantageous packages through their network of distributors and resellers. Some of the most popular versions of the ENCO DAD platforms are offered bundled with a wide range of configurations of AEQ Forum and AEQ Capitol digital mixing consoles.

Ken Frommert, Director – International Sales and Marketing at ENCO, said: "We are always looking for new ways to support our customers and offer added value. Through this collaboration, ENCO and AEQ make it easier for broadcasters to get more for less. We are very happy to work with a company that is as passionate about their products as we are and we look forward to supplying broadcasters with these powerful sets."

For his part, Peter Howarth, director of marketing and communications at AEQ, maintains that "AEQ's main objective has always been and is, to offer solutions that simplify, facilitate use and are cost-efficient, for any broadcast application. This is part of our always philosophy, as well as the objective of being compatible with other manufacturers, guaranteeing maximum flexibility to customers. We are delighted to have this opportunity to integrate into ENCO's DAD automation platform. For us, reputation and the name that ENCO maintains in the broadcast market provides great added value to our range of consoles. We are proud to extend this value to our distributors and customers, recommending the ENCO DAD automation platform in combination with our audio mixing consoles.”
