Agora Audio specified a full digital solution including an Eclipse GT digital console from Innovason
France - Le Camji is a dedicated performance space that includes a 320-seat auditorium right in the centre of the bustling city of Niort in western France. First opened in the year 2000, Camji's mission is to support cultural diversity through the medium of contemporary music in general and amplified modern music in particular.

The organisation therefore plays an active role in supporting local talent and introducing young performers to modern technology, as well as hosting concerts from well known and established artists. When the time came to upgrade their audio facilities, Le Camji turned to Poitiers-based systems integrators, Agora Audio, who specified and installed a full digital solution based on a EtherSound network throughout and an Eclipse GT digital console from Innovason.

According to Agora's David Rocher, it was the Camji's role of nurturing local talent by offering the opportunity to rehearse their shows and utilize the professional expertise of the Camji staff, as well as the technology of the facility, that highlighted the need for a multitrack recorder that could be networked with the mixing consoles.

"Rehearsal and practice with young and/or inexperienced groups is an important part of the function of Camji," explained Rocher. "It became increasingly evident that some form of multitrack device was required for both recording and playback purposes to help with rehearsal as well as working on the sound without musicians during show creation times, and it had to be networked to the console. Eclipse was therefore an obvious solution as it incorporates an extremely high quality multitrack recorder (M.A.R.S.) which enables a 'virtual soundcheck' at the click of a button."

"Camji hosts workshops on a number of different themes throughout the year," continued Rocher. "It's therefore a real advantage having a tool like the Eclipse to work with: it's a great example of modern digital mixing technology at its finest, complete with multitrack recording, a huge range of digital audio networking possibilities and the ability to configure the console in any way you want. Furthermore, the sound quality is exceptional, and it's incredibly compact and lightweight when you consider how powerful it is. It is a success at every level."
