BC-SRD Transfer Console

Transfer Desk with 10 Inputs and 4 Groups BCSRD is a unique analog audio mixing system, developed in cooperation with the ZDF, Germany's largest TV station. These systems are designed and manufactured according to the German IRT 3/5 standards for audio consoles, that require a design, that are very close to the physical limitations of any analog audio system. adt-audio's BCSRD exceeds these requirements in several points. The mix noise of the system, for example, is more than 6 dB lower than required.

All these transfer consoles are fully transformer balanced, using very high quality, oversized, torodial transformers, and fully shielded from electrical interference throughout. The very high expense results in outstanding technical characteristics and pristine sonic performance. In addition to the use as a transfer console, the BC SRD has all necessary features of an on-air mixer
