MBC TV broadcasts with Calrec consoles

Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) in Korea has recently purchased two Calrec Apollo consoles for its television channel, MBC TV. These were installed in two of its studios by Calrec’s Korean distributor, Ingang Audio, and join an exisiting inventory of Apollo and Artemis mixers.

A console was set up in Studio C for the production and recording of live-to-tape UHD and HD content, and Studio E for live-to-air broadcasts. ‘Being very familiar with Calrec’s Artemis and Apollo consoles, we’re confident in the stability of the company’s technology, which is vital in a live environment,’ said Ji-Hun An, audio director of the sound department at MBC TV. ‘The Apollo surface is also easy to use and when working live because we frequently have to adjust parameters during a broadcast, including channel dynamics and routing. The Apollo’s control surface makes this simple and its high DSP count means configuring it for different projects is straightforward.’

Anthony Harrison, international sales manager of Calrec, added: ‘It’s a privilege for us to continue our highly valued relationship with MBC TV and to see further momentum with our consoles in the South Korean market. The Apollo, with its great level of processing power and superb sound quality, is the ideal fit for MBC TV’s live programming needs and we’re delighted that they are pleased with their purchase.’
