Calrec Audio supplies audio broadcast mixing consoles which are relied on by the world’s most successful broadcasters. Formed as a microphone manufacturer in 1964, Calrec celebrated 50 years as audio specialists in 2014. The company’s reputation for build quality, reliability and audio performance has made it an industry benchmark across the world.

Today, broadcasters demand even more versatility and integration from their audio equipment, and in this technologically-progressive era TV companies want to ensure that their systems can produce programmes efficiently and to required specifications. For their audio systems to achieve this, greater consideration has to be given to their networks as a whole, and how efficiently they can be controlled. Calrec has designed its range of consoles to meet these demands.

Consistently pushing technology barriers, the Apollo platform introduced Bluefin2, the next generation of award-winning Bluefin technology. It provides over 1000 channel processing paths on just one DSP card. For surround sound mixing it is the industry’s most advanced and economical solution. In the Apollo, Artemis and Summa consoles, and the Hydra2 network, Calrec provides intelligent solutions for easily sharing network I/O resources and control data.

This Product Guide provides detailed descriptions for every single item of Calrec hardware, from the biggest Apollo console to the smallest Summa. It covers panel options, Calrec’s full range of fixed format and modular Hydra2 units, and dimensions for a variety of console configurations. It also provides a quick and easy console comparison to select the right console to meet your requirements.

Note: This product Guide now includes our latest console Brio 36 and its associated hardware including its new BRIO expansion rack.

For putting sound in the picture, broadcasters trust in Calrec.

6 CALREC Product Catalogue SURFACE OPTIONS – APOLLO

Apollo surface sizes are very flexible. A number of chassis sections are fitted together to provide space for the required panel layout. Chassis sections come in a variety of widths, defined by how many control panels they can hold. Currently available sections are: 2, 2.5, 3 and 3+. Some standard surface options are shown in the table below.

As shown, 80 is the maximum number of faders allowable on the Apollo stand but each Apollo system can have up to 160 faders. This can be achieved by having multiple surface sections on stands connected to the same core.

Two side trim options are available: Studio - 50mm or Slim - 10mm. Two stand height options are available: 740mm and 700mm.

IC5701 250 mm

FADER PANEL

The IC5701 is fitted with 8 x 100mm throw faders. Multiple fader panels make up the required fader quantity on the surface. As standard, the panel is fitted with ‘Cut’ buttons to mute fader paths. As an option, ‘On’ buttons can be fitted and the software configured for reverse functionality. If ‘On’ buttons are required, this should be specified at the time of order.

8 CALREC Product Catalogue IC5717 250 mm

DUAL FADER PANEL

The IC5717 is a dual fader panel, fitted with 8 x 100mm throw faders and a second row above of 8 x 60mm faders. The panel is the same physical size as the IC5701 with some strip functionality removed to make space for the second row of faders. The dual fader panel gives physical access to both A and B layers simultaneously.

CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 9 IM5705 130 mm

MONITOR/SPILL PANEL

The monitor/spill panel fits in either row of the control bed, providing a dedicated set of main monitoring controls. As well as monitoring controls, this panel provides surround spill and downmix faders for in-depth control over surround paths. The faders on this panel can also be used to control Main output bus levels if required. Eight momentary buttons with LED tallies are fitted at the bottom of the panel that can be assigned to GPIO for the triggering of external devices, for example, for talkback or remote start of playout devices. If required, for example on a large console, or for multiple operators, multiple monitor/spill panels can be fitted in the same control surface. Each can switch between controlling monitor 1 or monitor 2 outputs as well as having access to miscellaneous monitor and headphone outputs.

10 CALREC Product Catalogue IW5718 130 mm

JOYSTICK/SPILL PANEL

The joystick/spill panel, like the monitor/ spill panel, is ‘half-width’ and can fit in either row of the control bed. Typically it would be located above the monitor/ spill panel. This panel provides joystick control over surround panning / output positioning from mono and stereo paths. Like the monitor/spill panel, the joystick/ spill panel also provides assignable control over surround path spill and downmix settings, as well as allowing its faders to be assigned to Main output buses if required.

CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 11 LS5957, LS6053 130 mm 130 mm

LOUDSPEAKER PANEL

The LS5957/LS6053 loudspeaker panels provide a mono loudspeaker with four separate balanced stereo audio inputs. The panels can be fitted into either of Apollo’s control bed rows.

Audio input connections are made to the rear of the panel via a 25 pin D-Type connector.

DIP switches are provided on the rear of the panel for individually enabling/ CUT CUT CUT CUT CUT CUT CUT CUT disabling left and right portions of each input feed and Cut/On switches are provided above each level control.

DIP switches are also provided to set the frequency response of the incoming audio, three options are available: Flat, high frequency filter (4k7 Hz), low frequency filter (215 Hz).

Level rotary controls are illuminated to ease identification and the illumination colour of each can be set using rotary controls on the rear of the panel.

LS6053 provides an additional rotary level control for controlling an audio feed to an external loudspeaker. The external audio feed is connected through the panel using EXT LS a 9 pin D-Type connector on the rear of the panel.

12 CALREC Product Catalogue CA5700 250mm

WILD/ASSIGN PANEL

Assignable control panels can quickly switch between 4 main operating modes, giving access to the majority of operational functions, and can also be used in “wilds” mode to provide in-line control functions for the fader directly below each strip. A wild/assign panel needs to be located above a fader panel in order for it to be fully functional and for mode selection to be performed. Multiple wild/assign panels can be fitted in order to provide multiple modes of control parameters at the same time, for multiple operators working on the same console at the same time as well as giving control to all functions from various physical locations across the console.

CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 13 MD5702 250mm

TFT SCREEN

A number of TFT screens can be fitted in the control surface upstand to display input and output audio metering, dynamics gain reduction metering and loudness metering. Each upstand screen requires a fader panel to carry out its processing and therefore the maximum number of upstand screens fitted in a console is the same as the number of fader panels fitted. TFT screens are the same width as fader and wild/assign panels.

14 CALREC Product Catalogue RT5707

BROADCAST FACILITIES PANEL

Each control surface requires that a Broadcast Facilities panel is fitted in the upstand. This panel is 55mm [2.17”] wide and as such is ideally fitted alongside a 3rd party meter panel (see next page) to take up the same width as a standard panel (250 mm).

The Broadcast Facilities panel provides the following:

• Resets • Talkback Mic • USB Port • Facilities Buttons/Indicators
