KLOTZ DIGITAL UPGRADES CHRISTIAN RADIO STATIONS IN POLAND WITH AEON AND XENON CONSOLES
KLOTZ DIGITAL recently supplied XENON and AEON mixing consoles to church affiliated radio stations in Poland: Radio Victoria in Lowicz, and Radio Nadzieja in Lomza, received an AEON each; while Radio PLUS’s broadcast facility in Radom was equipped with XENON. All projects were realized by ProfiAudio Ltd., KLOTZ DIGITAL’s Polish sales and service partner.
All three radio stations are focused on the region where they are located and broadcast local news, mainstream music, and evangelization to the catholic community. Often
their program includes recorded material and feedings from the play-out system
without operator assistance. Operators and journalists mainly present news, some life
programs, and religious broadcasts; e.g. live recordings from the holy mass at the next cathedral and at similar occasions. Radio PLUS in Radom, for example, even
broadcasts from the local church’s seminar campus.

VADIS DCII Gets New Body
The iconic VADIS DCII has undergone various changes over the years without altering the functionality and award winning flexibility. Recent changes have seen improvements to the tub. "We didn't want to alter this iconic console too much, but we had to make some changes from a manufacturing point of view and changed some of the internal layouts. Due to these changes we were able to reduce the overall tub size, which we see as an improvement," says Product Manager Martin Krauss.
