Japan - Solid State Logic's new Duality console will make its Japanese debut in April 2007 when the first desk to be installed in the country is unveiled by the Osaka School of Music (OSM). Established in 1986, OSM is part of the Jikei Group - itself a member of Community Colleges for International Development (CCID). The Jikei Groupoperates 47 schools throughout Japan and has in excess of 35,000 students.

OSM's colleges in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka operate under the name of The School of Music and Communication Arts. These establishments cater for 15,000 students and teach a variety of courses covering music entertainment, creative entertainment and ecology.

As part of its ongoing expansion, OSM is preparing to open Sendai Communication Arts, a new centre in Osaka that will be completed by next April. The 48-channel SSL Duality will be used to teach its music entertainment course.

OSM Director Mr. Seiichiro Kita says: "We have already installed seven SSL consoles at our colleges, including an XL 9000K. The opening of our new college gave us the perfect opportunity to invest in the company's latest product."
