For the past year Dyckhoff and Fletcher have been trading under the name of Mobile One, handling a variety of high profile events including the Vodafone TBA series, T4 On The Beach and Keane's concert from the O2 Arena, which was the first live DVD from the venue. However, the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008 - the largest in the history of this particular awards ceremony - was the first time they had operated under the Red TX banner.
"We have literally just launched Red TX and haven't even completed the rebranding of the Mobile One truck, so winning the contract for the Shockwaves NME awards was a major coup," Ian Dyckhoff says. "We are delighted to have started our new company on such a high note."
The state-of-the-art mobile recording truck, which is now being re-fitted and given new Red TX livery, is equipped with a Studer Vista 8 digital mixing system with 672 mono inputs 336 total mono outputs. It has stereo to 7.1 monitoring and mixing and can simultaneously mix to different formats.
Red TX has a number of other broadcast projects scheduled for the weeks ahead and there are also plans to launch a second truck. This is currently under construction and will be operational by the summer in time for the busy festival season.
