- AUDIO CONNECTION MADI
In order to guarantee the best quality and efficiency in audio systems we use MADI fiber optic technology, which completely eliminates audio loss due to the distance associated with the use of regular copper cables.
- MONITORING
Considering the latest acoustic design: absorption, diffusion and diffraction, based on an RPG System.
Mix Stage 1 uses TAD speakers in a Quadamp format and Mix Stage 2 uses MEYER speakers in a Triamp format. Both systems aligned in time.
