Hong Kong’s Electone Music Studio Adds Pivitec

Founder Tiffany Chan selects e32 mixers and a layer 2 switch, fed by an e16i analog input module for recording and rehearsal space.

When Tiffany Chan, a young and enterprising recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, saw the need for a studio that had a more youthful vibe she founded Electone Music Studio in her native Hong Kong.

In collaboration with acoustic designer K.K.Kong and a team of engineering consultants, Chan built EMS for professional recording, rehearsal and mixing featuring an AVID S6 mix surface and many old and new outboard choices.

The team settled into a newly renovated building in Hong Kong’s Kowloon district, conveniently located near restaurants and a transit station. An avid performer herself, Tiffany wanted an advanced technology for Electone’s monitoring needs. Pivitec‘s personal monitor system was the obvious choice.

”When we started sourcing a foldback system for our studio, we wanted something convenient, easy to use and install (and of course within a reasonable budget). We chose Pivitec because it has all the elements of an up-to-date ideal foldback system.”

Electone started with fifteen e32 mixers and a layer 2 switch, fed by an e16i analog input module. They soon added six more mixers to the system. Artist reaction has been very favorable.

“They liked it so much as it’s very handy, because it looks like a little mixer and all the tracks are clearly named,” Chan explains. Artists also appreciate the sound quality of the e32 mixer’s discreet headphone amplifier and how easy the system is to use.

“Although most of our clients had never used the Pivitec system before, they managed to pick it up in a moment. Also, it’s very flexible. Naming the tracks has never been easier, just a button push and it will send channel names to the V2Mix Pro app for each e32 mixer. It saves a lot of time for setting up each session. By using an iPad or iPhone as an interface, it saves space and money rather than buying everyone a separate mixer module.”
