A New Approach to Remote Control in Broadcast Audio Systems as Designed for Station KIRO-TV

Robert W. Kuhl

Studio production of video-taped commercials and other programs requires TV audio systems with remote controls similar to those for video-switching equipment. A system has been designed with solid-state components for remote level control without using light-dependent devices. The system concept allows all audio sources to be immediately available on all high-level mixer positions in each of three control locations. One mixer in each location provides for “Audio-follow-Video” operation. All active circuit elements are located in the master control area. A universal amplifier with an extremely low noise figure combined with high-output level capability makes possible plug-in interchangeability for ease of maintenance.
