Croatian Radio Labin makes the leap to IP with the AEQ Capitol console

The mixing console AEQ Capital IP 12 will help the Croatian broadcaster Radio Labin to take your first steps in the world of IP technology.

Radio Labin is a Croatian radio station that broadcasts its programs from its central studios in Labin. The radio, which broadcasts in 91.0 FM as well as in numerous online platforms, has been an exceptional witness of the profound change experienced in the region: from its origins as the mining capital of the country, to today as one of the main centers of rural tourism in the region.

During the design of Radio Labin's new main studio, the company's technical management was clear about the requirements of your future audio mixer: it had to be digital and with IP connectivity, given the high level of audio quality achieved and the ease of interconnection it allows. Other key requirements were mixer robustness, given that he had to be prepared for long uninterrupted days of work, as well as his ease of operation, since it had to allow both qualified technicians and younger journalists to work with it. After studying the market, and listening to the advice of the Croatian integrator Radiocom, Radio Labin ended up opting for the digital mixer AEQ Capitol.

The AEQ Capitol IP 12 iIntegrated into the Croatian station is a 12-channel fixed configuration digital audio mixing console. The implementation of your IP connectivity is based on a single module with 16 input and 16 output channels, incorporated into its “core”. One of the main qualities of AEQ Capitol IP is the wide ticket capacity available: 4 microphone/line, 12 analog, 4 digital stereo AES/EBU (AES3), 2 digital stereo USB, 2 optional telephone lines, and optional digital multichannel audio links. Likewise, the system features 16 AoIP channels over two Ethernet connectors or 64 MADI channels input via fiber optics.
