OVERVIEW
The Glensound Paradiso is a commentator’s box for 3 commentators. It can be used
by itself to provide the commentary facilities alongside an OB truck for small events,
or multiple Paradisos can be used at large events that require Worldwide broadcast
coverage.
The Paradiso is designed to connect to a Dante audio network, with the added
advantage of having multiple local analogue audio inputs & outputs available for
local or backup circuits. The unit provides all the talkback and monitoring circuits
required by the commentators whilst incorporating a very high quality microphone
amplifiers and compressor limiter circuits designed specifically for the requirements
of commentators equipment.
The audio inputs and outputs of the Paradiso are DanteTM / AES67 network audio
circuits. DanteTM network audio is a common protocol for distributing high quality
linear audio over standard IP networks and it is widely used by many audio
equipment manufacturers. The Glensound Paradiso’s Dante audio interface will be
compatible with any other manufacturers Dante audio interface. Further details of
Dante network audio can be found at www.audinate.com
Being designed for live on-air broadcast applications the Glensound Paradiso has
been designed with multiple redundancy capabilities. It has 4 possible sources of
power (Mains, 2 x PoE & 1 external DC) and it also has fully redundant network
connections for both Copper & Fibre circuits.
The Paradiso has been designed to be intuitive & easy to use for Commentators who
would rather be talking about the game than working out how the equipment works.
It is also built to our exacting rugged and robust standard to make it a reliable piece
of broadcast equipoment for the busy engineer.
