Radio Island 92 returns to its regular programming after suffering a fire in its main studio

Island 92 is a radio station located in St. Maarten in the Caribbean and is part of the Caribbean Broadcasting Network. It was off the air for a period of time due to the fire in District 721, the station suffered water and heat damage to its antennas and data centre.

Fortunately, the station is now fully operational and is back with its regular schedule of music and entertainment programmes.

The company’s technical management recently upgraded all their equipment to digital, putting at the heart of the system: an AEQ Forum IP Split console for the ON-AIR studio and an AEQ Capitol IP console for the production studio.

AEQ FORUM IP SPLIT is a mixing console designed for ON-AIR broadcast control. It incorporates all the basic features necessary in this type of environment: automatic monitor cut, cough cut, faderstart, signalling control, control signals for the automation of external equipment, management of external communications, intercommunication, etc. With its modular design and small size, it adapts perfectly to different scenarios: self-control, control-locutory, television production controls, sound production, mixed configurations, integration in large installations, etc.

AEQ CAPITOL IP is an 8-channel fixed configuration Digital Audio mixing console. In CAPITOL IP the implementation of IP connectivity is based on a single module of 16 input and 16 output channels, incorporated in its core. One of the main qualities of AEQ CAPITOL IP is the wide input capacity available: 4 micro/line, 12 analogue, 4 digital stereo AES/EBU (AES3), 2 digital stereo USB, 2 optional telephone lines, and optional digital multi-channel audio links; 16 AoIP channels over two ethernet connectors or 64 MADI channels input via fibre optics.
