– What is Calrec Audio showcasing at ISE 2025?
We are showcasing the Argo M, our latest small-to-medium scale, completely IP-based audio mixer for television. Additionally, we are presenting Type R, our radio console, and True Control, a remote production system that allows one console to control all parameters of another console over the Internet, even if they are miles apart.
– What trends do you see in the industry?
Since this is our first time at ISE, it’s hard to determine all the main trends. However, we have noticed the exhibition has grown significantly in recent years, attracting more broadcast professionals. Overall, the industry is moving towards greater integration, IP-based solutions, and remote production capabilities.
