Symetrix provides flexible routing infrastructure for Musistance

KOREA: A new recording studio in the Mapo district of Seoul is employing a Symetrix SymNet Radius 12x8 DSP to handle multi-room audio and routing requirements. A/V distributor and installer Sound Solution was enlisted to work on the project. In addition to working on elements including the safety and communication systems, Sound Solution furnished Musistance with core audio components and a Dante-based network infrastructure.
The studio is located in a remodelled underground walkway beneath a six-lane boulevard and comprises five private music studios, general recording spaces and two band practice rooms. The SymNet Radius 12x8’s ability to adjust to future requirements through the use of SymNet xIn and SymNet xOut expanders was reportedly a key factor in its selection. At Musistance, Klark Teknik network bridges permit conversion between Dante and Madi realms, while beyerdynamic microphones, Denon preamps and CD players, Midas consoles, RCF loudspeakers and Sommer cables of various models can be found in each room.
‘Utilising Symetrix’ superior support for the Dante media networking technology was a key solution for this project, as there was a need to transport audio across multiple spaces and process it centrally,’ explains Lisa Lee, marketing manager at Sound Solution. ‘A single SymNet Radius 12x8 DSP supports a Dante network that covers five individual private studios and a main, general-use recording room. The result is that signals can be shared quickly and easily between the different spaces – affording maximum flexibility for the musicians, producers and engineers working there.
‘It’s an extremely well-specified studio and the owners are very satisfied with the fact that this DSP allows clients to share their works in an efficient and stable manner,’ added Ms Lee.
