Hamburg, Germany, NOVEMBER 16, 2009 –Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), one of the largest public radio and television stations in Germany, is now home to Aviom’s Pro16® personal mixing system. Located in the station’s largest recording studio and used for the production of “NDR’s BIG BAND” weekly radio broadcast of big band jazz music, the new system provides more options for monitor control than the previous set up.  The monitor mixing system previously used on the show afforded the 16 to 20 band members with only six channels of content, providing little room for customization.  By contrast, Aviom’s personal mixing system gives each performer control over 16 channels of content, providing ample room for each musician to customize his or her monitor mix.
