Radio Bethel’s technical department rely on AEQ FORUM digital console for main broadcast studio in renovation program.
   

Radio Bethel is part of the Bethel Cultural Association with a worldwide presence, which together with Bethel Television is the audiovisual medium where the Association publicises its activities and projects, as well as keeping its followers informed.

Radio Bethel offers a variety of informative, cultural, musical and religious content, via FM and online, with central studios in Lima, Peru, and local productions in other major cities where they have production centres.

Arequipa is the colonial-era capital of the Arequipa region of Peru, where more than one million people live in the capital alone, and have access to Radio Bethel’s programming there from 96.5FM or 770AM. The company’s technical management decided in the latest renovation of this centre to select AEQ FORUM as the digital console for its main broadcast studio, for its ease of use, robustness of operation, and high audio quality. AEQ FORUM IP is a mixing console designed for ONAIR broadcast control. It incorporates all the basic features necessary in this type of environment: automatic monitor cut, cough cut, faderstart, signalling control, control signals for the automation of external equipment, external communications management, intercommunication, etc.

In the words of Radio Bethel's management: "With this implementation, we ensure a quality signal that elevates the listening experience for our loyal fans. The AEQ FORUM console not only improves audio clarity, but also strengthens our ability to deliver inspiring and uplifting messages in the best possible quality."

With its modular design and small size, AEQ FORUM adapts perfectly to different scenarios: self-control, control-locutory, TV production controls, sound production, mixed configurations, integration in large installations, etc. Simplicity and control power are combined in the AEQ FORUM IP console to cover both basic and advanced operation needs. The FORUM IP SPLIT version comes with the FR CORE modular engine in 3 rack units. It can be composed of up to 6 quad fader modules and a control and monitoring unit.

AEQ FORUM can be equipped with AoIP multi-channel input and output cards compatible with the new AES67 protocol via DANTE technology. Through this connectivity, signals can be picked up and delivered to other consoles, routers, and other input and output terminal equipment from over 300 different manufacturers. It is also possible to choose MADI connectivity, and can be equipped with up to two internal digital telephone hybrids.
