Studer debuts slimmed down Vista 1

Studer has made its Vista 1 console available in a more compact 22-fader version. Measuring just over 1m in width, the manufacturer describes it as ‘perfectly suited to small spaces such as found in OB vans’. For smaller vans where the audio console fits into the cab area, the Vista 1 provides a solution requiring no additional racks, including integral I/O, DSP and surround sound management including up and down-mixing.

The Vista 1 is based largely on the Vista 5, so includes the Vistonics user interface plus features such as true broadcast monitoring, talkback, red light control, GPIO, N-x (Mix Minus) busses, snapshot automation and DAW control.

With an integral DSP engine of 96 channels, the Vista 1 can handle mono, stereo and 5.1 inputs. It is provided with 32 mic/line inputs, 16 line outputs and four pairs of AES inputs and outputs on rear panel connections.

I/O can be expanded using the standard Studer D21m card slot on the rear, to allow Madi, AES, AoIP, ADAT, TDIF, CobraNet, Dolby E/Digital and SDI connections. A Madi link can connect to any of the Studer Stagebox range for XLR connectivity as well as other formats.

New to the Vista 1 is an integral jingle player, played from audio files on a USB jingle stick, and triggered by a series of eight dedicated keys in the master section. The Studer Vista 1 also features a redundant PSU for peace of mind, and Relink integration with other Studer Vista and OnAir consoles.
