studioreport AUSTRIA Prime Studios wires a classic By Erica Basnicki
AUSTRIA’S PRIME STUDIOS has added a third control room, C, and a fourth live area to its facility in order to house its latest addition: a classic EMI TG12345 MkIV console, built originally for Abbey Road Studios. It’s one of only two in the world, with British producer Mike Hedges owning its twin. All the cabling and connectors for the new installation is by Van Damme, specified and ordered from VDC Trading using its new online YouSpec system, now an integral part of the VDC website.
Studio C is acoustically separated from the main
building and features a customised 5.1 surround reference sound system by Surrountec. The cabling included 24 pairs
of 7m Blue EDAC90 cables male to male, 48 pairs of 1m Blue EDAC90 cables male to female and 40m of Blue series with various Neutrik connectors. The completed order was then sent to Prime Studios by international courier. Prime studios’ Gerhard Buchbauer commented: “The YouSpec online service from VDC is more than handy to easily choose the cable type needed. We have chosen the Blue Series for Control C. It is more than great to have the ability to choose pin wiring
and to even completely customise the wiring for the cables online.”
Prime Studios wired its new EMI TG12345 MkIV control room usingYouSpec YouSpec is a relatively
new application on the VDC site, allowing web visitors to
design, specify, price-up and order completely bespoke cable solutions, from simple audio leads to complex stage-boxes to tails and multi-core loom configurations. The YouSpec functionality is also designed to support mobile working via tablet computers. Niall Holden, VDC’s CEO said “Using YouSpec, our customers can specify the Van Damme cable, the colour, the exact length, the connectors, and so on, and VDC will manufacture the design and ship it directly to them. “As we have already seen, this is especially invaluable to clients who are overseas and in different time zones.”
