Dale Pro Audio and Studer Announce Brand-New Partnership as Dale Takes Delivery of Studer Vista 1 Digital Console

Based in New York City, Dale Pro Audio has served the broadcast, live sound, contracting, and studio and post-production markets for more than 50 years. Dale Pro Audio co-owner, Valerie Lager, commented, "We are proud to be associated with the Studer brand, and our new relationship comes at a perfect time. The Studer Vista 1 console fits in well with our current initiative to further expand our offerings and service to the broadcast market, and we're confident it'll serve our clients well."

The Studer Vista 1 digital console is highly suited to both fixed and portable systems, while its compact size makes it a natural choice for OB and ENG vans. It is equipped with Studer’s exclusive Vistonics™ user interface and Vista control surface, plus features such as true broadcast monitoring, talkback, red light control, GPIO, N-x (Mix Minus) busses, snapshot automation and DAW control. Capable of over 100 channels, the Vista 1 can handle mono, stereo and 5.1 inputs with ease. The Vista 1 features 32 mic/line inputs, 32 line outputs and also comes with Multi Mode MADI, while an additional Dual MADI card is available for remote stage boxes.

Michael Descoteau, Dale’s Broadcast Sales Director, added, "Studer's reputation for stellar products is evident in the Vista 1. The design of its control surface caught our eye—it's extremely innovative and intuitive, which provides an opportunity for new users to grasp it quickly and easily. It will also serve many of the markets we reach, such as broadcast, live, and post."

“The worldwide adoption of Studer Vista consoles has been growing rapidly and Dale Pro Audio’s addition of the Vista 1 to its inventory is a major step forward in the United States,” said Rob Lewis, US Sales Director, Studer. “Dale Pro Audio’s heritage and reputation for excellence is well-known throughout the professional audio industry and we are looking forward to a very successful relationship!”
