Radio Adelaide, the educational and community radio station owned and operated by the University of Adelaide is boasting a new ENCO DAD system.
This complete audio playout automation and control system was installed and configured by Sydney based company Professional Audio Technology (PAT).
The new system consists of a virtualised main DAD server environment, which provides 5 on-air studios connected as clients with the entire content for Radio Adelaide’s 24/7 operations.
In addition 25 administration and ingestion terminals are connected to the system to provide more than 400 volunteers with access to pre-produce, prepare and refine more than 75 different on-air programs.
Radio Adelaide’s General Manager Deborah Welch commented “After a thorough RFP process, only the DAD system was able to meet our brief, including by being prepared to add new functionality that will now be applied across the DAD product internationally. It’s a powerful system that we know can develop with us, and can assist in developing our future. The PAT and ENCO teams went out of their way to understand our special needs, and meet them. Their preparedness to spend the time to understand our unique environment was critical there, and was reinforced each step of the way”.
Radio Adelaide went live with its new DAD system on the 11th of February.
