When The Business Times embarked on their project to equip their new multi-person podcast studio and individual podcast and edit suites, they engaged Loud Technologies Asia to propose and realise the brief of "high quality audio video capture that was easy to use and required little to no fuss for BYOD of individual windows-based or Mac OS workstations.
The team at LTAPL based the design on Austrian Audio microphones & headphones, Aida Imaging POV cameras, Presonus mixers & interfaces and Triad Orbit mounting solutions.
The result was a very elegant, easy-to-reposition POV camera system that didn't sag easily, unobtrusive due to the tiny POV camera size. The interchageable lens feature of the POV cams allowed for easy customisation of the field angle when required.
The journalists particularly enjoyed the excellent quality of the Made-in Austria mics from the company started by all the former Austrian AKG employees left behind from the acquisition of AKG by Harman.
