ITN, one of the world's leading news and multimedia content companies, has installed an Artemis Light digital audio console from Calrec Audio in the Channel 4 News production gallery at its London headquarters. Now the primary console on the Channel 4 News program, ITN's flagship news and current affairs show, the Artemis Light desk provides ample digital signal processing (DSP) power, scalable I/O options, and faders for mixing the news without limitations.

Taiwanese singer and film star, Jay Chou, has amassed millions of fans across the globe, starred in Hollywood blockbusters, broken records for the most expensive live production in Australia and sold over 30 million albums worldwide. He recently entrusted Britannia Row Productions to deliver the biggest PA rig that Britain’s largest indoor venue, London’s 02 Arena, has ever seen.

In 2017, Britannia Row was tasked with providing live audio for the North London football team’s ground closure at White Hart Lane. After proving itself as a trusted audio supplier to the Premier League club, two years later the rental house was asked to supply top engineers and a control package for a special event to mark the opening of the club’s new stadium.  
 

The tour will have taken in 157 dates across 18 countries in North and South America, Europe, Australasia and the UK. Her weekend of sold out shows at London's Wembley Stadium, where 150,000 fans gathered to see the rock pop starlet dazzle with her vocals and gymnastic skills, were part of a global audience which helped the tour gross almost $400m US dollars from 3 million ticket sales.

Cirque du Soleil returned to London’s Royal Albert Hall (RAH) on 12 January for an eight-week run at the prestigious venue, bringing LUZIA to Europe for the first time. Britannia Row Productions once again supplied the sound, continuing a relationship that has spanned almost two decades. Through the unique design, chorography and acrobatic elements that give Cirque du Soleil shows their unique character, LUZIA takes audiences on a journey through imaginary Mexico. The name is derived from the Spanish words for light (luz) and rain (lluvia), two important themes in the show’s narrative.

Britannia Row Productions Training is one of 2,049 cultural and creative organisations across the country to have been awarded £409m of urgently needed support (up to 24^th October 2020). The Culture Recovery Fund grants programme is being administered by the  Arts Council England on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Further rounds of funding in the cultural and heritage sector are due to be announced over the coming weeks. BRPT was founded in 2012 to provide holistic training for those wanting to enter the live events industry as live audio technicians. Courses available from colleges and universities are not targeted enough for this niche sector, making it hard for graduates to enter the workplace as invariably a certain amount of re-training is required. Furthermore, these institutions tend to lag behind with teaching the latest technologies, equipment and working practices.

The success of Yamaha’s RIVAGE family of digital mixing systems continues, with two of the best known names in live music production - Britannia Row Productions and Clair Global - respectively investing in pairs of RIVAGE PM7 and PM10 digital mixing systems.

Britannia Row Productions was one of the first companies globally to make an investment in Sennheiser’s new Digital 6000 series, instantly deploying it on Robbie Williams’ The Heavy Entertainment Show tour, which started in Europe last summer and continues with dates in New Zealand and Australia in February and March this year. Robbie played to over 1.1 million fans during the first leg, which took in stadiums, fields and arenas around Europe, and Digital 6000 performed flawlessly throughout.

As a long-time rental supplier to the BRIT Awards, Brit Row agreed to select and include a student within their crew, resulting in a fully immersive end to end experience of a high-pressure technical delivery. Celebrating its 40^th year in February, the 2020 BRIT Awards once again hosted the best in British and international pop music, with a series of live performances from the likes of Stormzy, Billie Eilish and Dave, broadcast live to home viewers and also enjoyed by audiences in the venue.  

Like video conferencing, music fans and TV audience members utilise a propriety browser-based video platform to experience a live performance or be part of a TV filming production – from the comfort of their home. However, the VLA experience has been created with real time engagement in mind. The VLA system allows for the performance artist or TV host / panellists to both interact and reconnect with confidence during Covid-19 audience restrictions.

Popular online sports publisher Bleacher Report has recruited two Calrec Audio Brio compact audio consoles as part of a comprehensive studio upgrade. The Brios bring new levels of power, versatility, and ease of use to Bleacher Report's live and live-to-tape productions, which range from pro and college football, soccer, and basketball broadcasts to fantasy football and panel shows.

Proshow Broadcast, a leading broadcast and media production company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, has upgraded its hard-working Prodigy HD truck with Calrec Audio's Brio console. In a compact and cost-effective package, the Brio brings new levels of broadcast-grade functionality to Prodigy's coverage for major sports broadcast clients including the Pac-12 Network.

Calrec Audio's Brio console will deliver the horsepower to Lucas Oil Products' exciting lineup of live motor sports broadcasts. Lucas Oil Production Studios, the television-production arm of Lucas Oil, has chosen the new Brio for a comprehensive, high-fidelity audio upgrade of its 35-foot mobile production unit.

A new Brio console from Calrec Audio has joined the broadcast team at SoonerVision, the in-house video production arm of the University of Oklahoma (OU) Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. Together with a Calrec Artemis that serves as SoonerVision's main live production audio mixer, the Brio is used to produce thousands of hours of sports content annually.

"We did evaluate other audio consoles, but one of the main reasons we chose the Brio was its extreme ease of use and our large installation of other Calrec desks," said Seann Harding, technical manager, engineering, Dome Productions. "Since our operators are already familiar with Calrec consoles, they were able to step right in and start using the Brio with minimal training and no rework.
