As part of the re-equipping
its main 5.1 television mix room, audio post production facility
Videosonics has installed a DK-Technologies MSD600M++ audio
meter, which is specifically designed for monitoring stereo
and surround sound audio.
The latest purchase means that Videosonics
is now 100% equipped with DK-Technologies audio meters, with
a Master Stereo Display (MSD) unit in every one of its studios.
Opened in December 1984 in Camden Town,
London, Videosonics is one of the most advanced audio post
companies in the UK. During the past 20 years, the facility
has grown from an original three rooms to a total of six mixing
studios (including three THX film dubbing theatres), nine
all-digital prep rooms (all with AMS AudioFile), a dedicated
foley studio and nine editorial/production rooms.
The facility specialise in sound for film
and television. It covers all aspects of the audio post production
process from the simplest voice over to complete sound design
and dubbing for motion pictures.
Dennis Weinreich, Videosonics Managing Director,
says: “Our main television mix room has been completely
overhauled to bring it up to the latest technical standards.
As part of this process we recognised that the metering needed
to be upgraded so that we could monitor 5.1 surround sound
audio. The MSD600M++ was the obvious choice because it has
a very intuitive display, making it easy for engineers to
see at a glance exactly what is happening to their stereo
and surround sound signals. We now have DK meters in every
room because we believe they are quality products that are
ultimately very effective and reliable.”
With surround sound now increasingly the
standard in today’s studios, accurate audio monitoring
has become even more vital. DK-Technologies MSD600M++ stereo
and surround sound meter is proving to be the solution for
many of the world’s top music recording and audio post
production facilities. This modular, multi-channel audio analyser
accepts up to 32 input channels and has 4 configurable input
slots and 4 output slots. Its primary tools include a phasemeter,
audio vector oscilloscope and PPM/VU level meter.
The company’s proprietary JellyFish™
and StarFish™ display technologies are now recognised
as industry standards thanks to their ability to present stereo
and surround sound images in a logical and intuitive way.
The energy content of all channels is easily recognisable
on the screen, and phase errors in individual vectors are
immediately highlighted. All surround formats are supported
including 4.0, 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1, while future formats can
be catered for by the introduction of new software.
