EP-Engineering Ltd Mediasolution managed the installation, equipping the operation centre with innovative and advanced multimedia and communication technology, making the centre the largest and most modern facility of its kind in Scandinavia.
Operations of the network of rescue units are determined by the crucial information received from different VHF radio channels. The MRSC needed a solution that would effectively aid access to the VHF radio channels. The challenge was to set up five operators at individual console locations, and enable them to choose from 11 radio channels. Consequently, each console would require remote control devices, 16 outputs and two - four speakers configured L/C/R or L/R.
Allen & Heath's Finnish distributor, EM Nordic Finland Oy / XL Audio, supplied two iDR-8 digital mixing processors and eight PL-6 remote control fader panels, complimented with five Rane MA3 amplifiers. The PL fader panels are installed at the operator desks; while the iDR-8 processors and MA3 amplifiers are stored in a separate room, feeding line level signal from the iDR outputs into the amplifiers and then delivered into ceiling mounted Panphonics flat surface transducers at each operator console.
