Audio company Tall updates Solid State Logic System T S300 console, incorporating advanced S400 interface tiles for enhanced streaming capabilities
Tall Audio Upgrades Console for Immersive Audio Production
Tall Audio, a sound specialist company based in the UK, has upgraded its SSL System T console to deliver full 7.1.4 immersive content. This move comes as the company works on a diverse range of productions, including The Martin Lewis Money Show, Springwatch for the BBC, film premieres, motorsport events for TNT Sports, high-end broadcast and OTT music clients like Amazon and Apple Music.
Founded in 2010 by sound supervisors Alex Wrigglesworth and Paul Stadden, Tall Audio adopted Dante at an early stage, simplifying production processes. The upgrade to the S400 fader tiles on their 32-fader SSL System T console enables full 7.1.4 immersive audio content production. This upgrade allows more immediate user feedback and better control tailored for immersive mixing, enhancing the console's capabilities in delivering complex spatial audio formats.
The S400 tiles provide improved tactile control and interface suited for immersive audio formats like 7.1.4, helping Tall Audio deliver more advanced, immersive broadcast sound experiences. Solid State Logic, the world's leading manufacturer of analogue and digital audio consoles, will offer live demonstrations during IBC 2025.
System T's flexible integration and ease of use enable customers like Tall Audio to continue delivering a broad range of content without major capital expenditure. The console provides the flexibility to achieve complex tasks under time pressures, such as setting everything up in advance and quickly rigging mics.
For events like covering UK hip hop artist Central Cee at London's O2 arena, Tall Audio utilizes around 30 ambient mics, a high multitrack count, and monitoring in full 7.1.4. System T makes monitoring in 7.1.4 very easy for Tall Audio, allowing them to concentrate on mixing rather than worrying about assigning resources to use immersive formats.
The company's client makeup has changed significantly over the last 15 years, with a focus on non-traditional broadcast clients. Tall Audio has covered events like the Ivor Novello awards for streaming on Twitch, while maintaining the same disciplines and high standards as traditional entertainment clients.
Apple Music is pushing the boundaries of content creation with full cinematic cameras and spatial audio. Apple specifies the 7.1.4 format for all its in-house post-production teams. With this upgrade, Tall Audio is well-positioned to meet the increasing demands of immersive broadcast content and fragmented broadcast workflows.
