| Console Tech 2021 A new free ebook is now available from Radio World
When a radio talent or operator reaches out to control audio, what are they touching? The answer to that has changed a great deal over recent years. In some facilities, the familiar radio mixing console is still a central presence, though any that were installed in the past decade or so are equipped with far greater functionality and networking capabilities than in the past. In others cases, the console has morphed into a piece of glass that runs critical operations without the operator having to touch a physical knob. And the surface might not be in a studio at all. But whether we're talking about a chassis full of faders or a piece of glass, this is where the human meets the network. Radio World's new ebook talks to manufacturers about trends in the physical layout of their products, and which features in particular have been developed to meet needs such as heavy workflows, pandemic-era remote broadcasting and smaller-budget broadcasting. It also takes a fun peek at the consoles or surfaces that being used around the industry, featuring snapshots from almost 30 users discussing their legacy or newly installed products.
