Turkey’s national horse racing TV channel has invested in a new audio system as part of a digital upgrade based around Allen & Heath’s dLive S Class and GLD mixing systems.
Established in 1950, Turkey Jockey’s Club (TJK) is based in Istanbul, founded and endorsed by the Ministry of Agriculture as the only official horse breeding and racing organization in the country.
“We really needed to upgrade our current analog mixing desk to improve total system latency, network audio options and expandable input/output options,” explains Nizamettin Korkmaz, sound director at TJK.
The dLive system comprises a S7000 surface with DM48 MixRack fitted with a Dante network card, plus a DX32 expander rack for AES inputs and another one for AES outputs. The Club also has two GLD-80 mixers with AB168 Racks for smaller studios, which are also Dante-enabled to enable connection to the main audio system.
“All the Station’s sound engineers are very comfortable with the Allen & Heath mixers during live broadcasts or on daily routines, such as talk shows. The complicated audio routing and monitoring requirements of the studios are easily handled by the systems,” concludes Korkmaz.
