John Harris and Jody Elff’s new HEAR Remote Production Service Leverages Solid State Logic’s Net IO SB i16 SuperAnalogue™ Stagebox

For events that require only a limited number of audio inputs, HEAR sends an 8RU equipment rack to the production location that incorporates a Dante-enabled SSL SB i16 stagebox, which features 16 channels of SuperAnalogue premium mic preamps.

says Harris, stressing the importance of redundancy in live broadcast and recording applications. The unit may be remotely controlled through SSL’s Network I/O Controller app, allowing Harris and Elff to adjust and monitor input levels and access features such as mic/line switching, phantom power, pad and, if required, a limiter on every channel. As Elff comments, the Solid State Logic logo on the unit’s front panel also assures HEAR’s clients of their system’s exemplary audio quality. “We are really serving an A-list client expectation level with all of this equipment” he says.
