Univision at Lincoln Center

NEW YORK, NEW YORK: It happens every spring. For the last four years, Carlton Audio Services, located in Davey, Florida travels to New York City to handle the sound design for Hispanic Network Univision's corporate "Upfront" advertising presentation heralding its 2003-2004 programming lineup.

As the fifth most-watched full time network in the U.S., competing head-to-head with the English-language television networks in primetime, Univision is the leading source of Spanish-language news, entertainment and sports. This year, the Univision Upfront event was held the morning of May 13th in Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. Chris Carlton, president of Carlton Audio, shipped two INNOVASON Grand Live digital consoles on loan from Abba Trading Company to Lincoln Center to handle the music mix for the two live bands. Carlton is no stranger to the Innova SON boards having used them for the VH1 Fashion Awards, Hilary Clinton's Birthday Party and various other productions.

"Having INNOVASON's all-digital, completely recallable console makes any show with multiple bands much easier to pull off. Its comprehensive dynamics and equalization processing on each channel allowed us to dispense with the two full racks of outboard equipment that we used to drag around for these shows. Thanks to INNOVASON's transparent, intuitive interface, there was hardly any learning curve for our guest band mixers and for our monitor engineer Jason Curtis."
