NBC AND CALREC TEAM UP AGAIN
By Graeme Hague

It’s unusual to get any pre-game production info about the Olympics – non-disclosure agreements fiercely protect the element of surprise in the ceremonies. However, this is about the television production. Calrec Audio has been selected to provide five Artemis Consoles to NBC Olympics, a division of the NBC Sports Group, during its production of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. NBC Olympics has purchased two 64-fader Artemis Shine consoles and will rent a further 40-fader and two 24-fader Artemis Beam consoles direct from Calrec. Additionally, Calrec is supplying many stageboxes in digital, analogue, and MADI formats to fulfill the I/O requirements. Chucked into the deal, Calrec is also providing NBC Olympics with on-site engineering support prior to and during the Games. It’s not the first time – Calrec has been supporting NBC Olympics with on-site engineers since the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 and was a part of two Emmy Award-winning teams for NBC Olympics’ coverage in 2010 and 2012. So it’s safe to assume it’ll all be well sorted.
