Euphonix has announced Russian music superstar Valeriya has installed an S5 Fusion in her Valeriya/SVIP Studio for music, TV and film post production.

Valeriya, often referred to as Russia’s Madonna, has sold over 100 million records and her concert tours regularly sell out stadiums and arenas explained why the Euphonix was selected for the Moscow-based studio.

“After working at the best western studios and learning all the latest tricks and techniques, I wanted to set up a state-of-the-art studio in my country to give the artist the opportunity to work in a highly professional environment, as well as to be able to invite western producers to create top quality albums in Russia,” she noted.

Located in a new building in Moscow, Valeriya/SVIP Studio provides a full array of audio services ranging from music mixing and recording to ADR, TV and film audio post-production.

The facility installed a 184-channel S5 Fusion with EuCon control of Pyramix and Pro Tools DAWs in the 5.1 mixing control room, which was designed by Acoustic Design Group’s John Flynn and Sam Toyoshima.

“We chose the Euphonix S5 Fusion because it is an industry standard,” said Oleg Ivanov, Technical Director at Valeriya/SVIP Studio. “We know it will attract not only new customers but also reputed sound engineers who want to work on a Euphonix.”

The S5 Fusion is a complete professional mixing package that provides a fusion of Euphonix’ new processing DSP SuperCore engine with EuCon Hybrid, a technology that allows the console surface to control its own DSP channels as well as channels from multiple external DAWs simultaneously. The system is designed to handle HD surround audio post and music applications.

The new SP663 DSP cards increase the channel count to over 100 channels at 48 kHz and the system can also be run at 96 kHz with 50% fewer channels.
