PHOENIX RISING

What separates the pros from the hobbyists in this business? The console, of course.

By that standard then, a small community FM in Bendigo, Australia just went pro with the acquisition of its new WheatNet IP networked IP-12 console surface.

Phoenix FM is a community access station broadcasting on 106.7 FM out of Bendigo, Victoria. Previously, its volunteers were using an analog board to produce more than 150 hours per week of program content, according to the local newspaper Bendigo Times. Phoenix FM technical advisers Peter Williams and Dale Simpson attributed the new console system, including TS-4 talent station and WheatNet IP audio routing, to improving the professional sound of the station. (Simpson also technically manages a national network run by WheatNet IP audio networking with more than 40 I/O Blades).
