 Calrec Alpha digital consoles |
MSNBC uses the two Alphas to handle overlapping production schedules, moving the primary mixing duties back and forth between each control room. For example, when one show is live-to-air, the other room is used for preproduction and pretaping. In larger productions, one room can be used as a subcontrol room for the other. The consoles also act as backup for each other.
Calrec Alpha consoles feature up to 96 faders with A and B levels of control and four dedicated main output faders. All channels have four-band EQ, two-band filters, and a compressor/limiter and expander/gate. All Calrec digital consoles are assignable, enabling direct access to the majority of the functions and minimizing screen usage.
