T25 - On-Location/Surround Classical Recording for Broadcast with Central Sound at Arizona PBS
Presenter:Alex Kosiorek, Central Sound at Arizona PBS - Phoenix, AZ, USA
Live classical recording for broadcast distribution over a variety of delivery systems can have challenges, even more-so when they are broadcast in surround. Among the concerns can be maintaining a consistent aesthetic across broadcasts, dealing with varying venue acoustics, discretion in microphone placement for minimal visual interference and/or performer/patron access, redundancy, codec, and more. Central Sound at Arizona PBS, a premier multi-award-winning provider of audio-media services, has dealt with many of these challenges, producing over 120 live classical and acoustic music productions annually for local, national and international broadcast. Whether radio, television, on-demand and/or for “live” streaming/broadcast, over 50% of the events are in surround (and soon surround w/height). Manager of Central Sound and Executive Producer of Classical Arizona PBS, Alex Kosiorek, will include microphone techniques and practical solutions that result in high-quality productions. Audio examples will be included.
