CV Radio, the independent and plural station of Valencia, is equipped with AEQ

The studios, installed turnkey, are based on Forum and Capitol digital consoles and AudioPlus automation system.

CV Radio began its broadcasts with the purpose of offering Valencian society a new voice that would report independently and plurally on daily news, with total connection with the local environment and maximum identification with the concerns of Valencians. It is a generalist radio, made exclusively in Valencia with a variety of content.

Las necesidades operativas y el compromiso con los oyentes, les obligaron a elegir equipamiento totalmente de tecnología digital. La decisión se decantó por AEQ debido a las referencias de calidad y flexibilidad operativa de los productos, la profesionalidad comercial y por el servicio de atención post venta. Se realizó un suministro “llave en mano” incluyendo el mobiliario diseñado por AEQ a la medida de los espacios y necesidades.

Los estudios están formados por tres salas; dos de ellas destinadas al locutorio y control principal, la tercera es el estudio de grabaciones en formato autocontrol con mesa de invitados. En el control principal se instaló el mezclador digital modular AEQ Forum de 12 faders encastrado en la encimera y en el autocontrol un mezclador digital compacto AEQ Capitol IP.

Ambos mezcladores disponen de sus respectivos interfaces de audio por IP con protocolo Dante, puesto que la conexión entre estudios está estructurada entorno a esa tecnología.

Todos los estudios están interconectados entre sí, mediante una red Ethernet a Gigabit sobre la que viaja el audio por IP. Forum envía y recibe 32 señales de audio. Capitol IP, 16. Entre las señales de la red se incluyen los PC´s clientes del sistema de automatización Audioplus. Con esto se elimina todo el cableado multipar entre estudios y se gana en flexibilidad.

Cada estudio puede grabar y emitir a la vez, although generally the auto control is used to record and the main control to broadcast. In both cases, the installed AEQ mixers allow a given signal to be routed along an exclusive path to be sent as a program signal on the air. Thus, the signal supplied by the AEQ Audioplus automation system can be sent to the air and the two studios are freed up for recording tasks, while a play list is broadcast.

Control of the main studio with parlor

In another conditioned space, outside the studios, a 42-unit rack was installed that houses the servers. AudioPlus, el audiocodec IP Venus, los switches and radio links for sending the program signal to the sending center.

All content is managed by Audioplus automation system, in client-server configuration. A file server and two network stations located one in each control. It also includes the 24/7 Audioplus Cont continuity recorder, which allows you to record different audio channels for 24 hours and extract any cuts without affecting the continuity of the recording.

For the outside broadcasts is used a doble audiocodec IP, AEQ Phoenix Venus in the studio, and a AEQ Phoenix Another in the mobile unit.

The lounge furniture is designed based on the CV Radio logo with space for five guests. Each position has a plate AEQ HB-02 which makes it easy to connect a microphone, headphones and adjust their volume.

An SCR-03 desktop signaling and cutting box was installed in the main announcer's position, with remote functions towards the AEQ Forum mixer.

CV Radio also has a recording studio, with space for a self-controlled announcer-operator and three guests.

The entire project has been led by AEQ's commercial manager for the Valencian Community, Bernardo Sáiz, in coordination with the technical services of CV Radio.
