World Wide Audio Joins the World of Euphonix

NY-based Full Service DTS and Dolby Digital Studio Installs Euphonix System 5

Palo Alto, Nov 27th 2007

Euphonix, a world leader in large-format mixing consoles and control surfaces, announced today that World Wide Audio has installed a 72-fader System 5 Mixing Console with EuCon Hybrid DAW control for HDTV post production film mixing and editing.

Dubbing itself the “biggest little post house in New York City,” World Wide Audio offers a diverse array of production services. From sound design and composition to film mixing, from picture editing to print mastering World Wide Audio is a one-stop-shop for professional audio and video needs. What makes World Wide Audio even more unique is its standing as the only private dub stage on the East Coast with Dolby 5.1/7.1 approval and a permanent DTS mixing facility. World Wide Audio is also an approved Dolby content Provider.

“Until we came online, only large studios in Manhattan had DTS and Dolby approved rooms. This meant only the big budget films could afford to mix there, now World Wide Audio offers the same great quality sound in our private facility which allows for large scale films and broadcast projects, as well as, smaller, independent projects - where sound quality is incredibly important but the budget might not be there,” explained World Wide Audio CEO, Georgia Hilton.

The Tribeca-based studio’s growing client based prompted the need to update their facility’s audio gear. “I wanted a mixing board that could not only meet but exceed the increasing demands of our clientele; I needed a desk that was fast, sophisticated and most importantly completely versatile. After demoing the Euphonix it was obvious the System 5 was the most logical choice,” continued Hilton.  “We have added HD/SDI support, and along with our multiple System 6000 units, a CEDER DNS2000 for the most advanced dialogue cleaning in the world.”

 “Our new Euphonix console is a dual-operator mixing desk loaded with features that makes my job as a film mixer easier. With the touch of a button the desk changes from a full-on console to a full-on Pro Tools controller,” Hilton further explained.  World Wide Audio clients include projects for HBO, Warner Films, Comedy Central, The National Maritime Museum and Discovery HD. 

The Euphonix System 5 is specifically designed for film dubbing and HD surround sound audio post. Integrated transport control for both audio and video machines and a remarkable mix-automation system makes the console ideal for any post-production facility. Surround sound is an integral part of the design. Moreover, the system can be fitted with a film style monitoring panel including pec-direct switched and joysticks.  The new EuCon Hybrid option for System 5, which now includes Mac OSX compatibility, extends the control capabilities of the console beyond the dedicated DSP Cores to the outside world, bringing any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) tracks onto the console surface for mixing. The DAWs communicate with the console via the EuCon high-speed Ethernet control protocol can seamlessly connects any DAW formats such as: Pro Tools, Nuendo, and Logic Pro to the control surface.
