Calrec Dominate HD Truck Market
Two independent surveys have placed Calrec as a clear leader among companies providing audio mixers for HD broadcast trucks. An independent survey of 139 US trucks by the Sports Video Group (SVG) in North America shows Calrec Audio as a clear leader among companies providing audio mixers for this market
The SVG survey, published in the SVG Mobile Sports Production Yearbook 2007, showed Calrec with 48 percent of all HD trucks, and 31 percent of the SD market — more than any other provider.
A similar survey, compiled by Germany’s Medien Bulletin in their HD OB Van Special 2007, sampled 104 HD broadcast trucks across Europe and positioned Calrec with 22 percent of that market.
Combined, these figures give Calrec an overwhelming 31% share of the HD truck market across the US, Europe, Middle East and Africa - 14% more than any other manufacturer.
“These market results are a clear indication that Calrec consoles are addressing the needs of remote broadcasters,” said John Gluck, Sales and Marketing Director at Calrec. “The HD results are especially interesting; it is a clear sign that when it comes to the new technology Calrec is leading the way. We have listened to our customers and delivered new technologies, like Bluefin, that address their needs in the field.”
