PR&E® Oasis™ - Designed for radio broadcast studios of any size and budget

Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has introduced PR&E® Oasis™, a standalone, on-air and production console that enables radio broadcast operations to easily and affordably convert to digital in their own timeframe. Harris will showcase the latest innovation from its PR&E studio brand at the 2010 Radio Show, taking place September 29-October 1 in Washington, D.C.

Designed for radio broadcast studios of any size and budget, Oasis is an 8- or 12-channel analog console that offers a clear digital migration path. Although built for the demands of digital studio operations, the design avoids reliance on PC engines and assemblies to ensure reliable and consistent on-air and production operations.

“Oasis delivers a true standalone console with next-generation, analog-to-digital demands in mind,” said Chuck Alexander, director, audio products, Harris Broadcast Communications. “With proven PR&E innovation, engineering and quality assurance at its foundation, Oasis is a feature-rich console that requires minimal maintenance and is affordable for small, mid-sized and large stations.”

Oasis incorporates both analog and digital outputs and provides multiple connections for microphones, CD players, monitors and a direct PC automation channel (no sound card requirements) to support a diverse array of on-air sources. Key differentiators include two assignable Telco channels to any fader, a modular design featuring swappable input cards, and USB playback and recording functionality — with playback available on any channel with any operating system.

Visit Harris at the 2010 Radio Show in Booth #11 and in the Arlington Meeting Room of the Grand Hyatt Hotel to see a demonstration of the PR&E Oasis console.
