DirectOut Distributor Professional Audio Technology announced the supply of the largest DirectOut Technology system ever purchased in Australia by Global Television. The new system was delivered to Global’s facility in Mascot and is being prepared for a large international event in 2014.

Global’s Technical Services Director Marc Segar explained: “We decided to go with Direct Out for our audio distribution on Big Brother in 2012 and were on-air 24/7 for 3 months without a single issue. Based on our experience, we designed HD 9’s audio area around various Direct Out processing units and this has now extended to larger projects. Value for money, flexibility and build quality are really important when we are looking for solutions and equipment needs to be adaptable for a variety of different projects during our busy schedule”.
