tonzauber, ein renommiertes Klassiktonstudio in Wien, eröffnete im Sommer 2018 zusätzlich zu seinem Hauptstandort im Wiener Konzerthaus ein weiteres Studio im Casino Baumgarten. Für die Arbeit an diesem aufnahmehistorisch bedeutenden Ort wurde ein kompaktes, aber flexibles Mischpultsystem mit voller 96kHz-Tauglichkeit gesucht, das bei größeren Außenproduktionen auch mobil einsetzbar ist.

Andere Systeme sind entweder beschallungsorientiert, technologisch nicht mehr aktuell, können keine 96kHz oder haben einen externen DSP-Core. Für uns bestand die Anforderung, das Pult sowohl im neuen Studio ohne Maschinenraum als auch mobil einsetzen zu können. Diese Kriterien
