Custom Consoles will introduce a new version of its EditOne desk at IBC2015 in Amsterdam, Sept. 11-15. Exhibiting on stand 8.B38a, the company will be represented by Neil Reed (Managing Director), Graham Buchanan (Business Director) and Gary Fuller (Sales Manager).

Developed for use in video editing suites and broadcast graphics areas, the Custom Consoles EditOne desk goes beyond the traditional rectangular configuration by using sculpted MDF support panels rather than metal legs. The curved theme is carried through to the desktop and a raised monitor shelf.

“Our objective in this redesign was to enhance the surface finish while retaining the distinctive horizontal and vertical profiles which have made EditOne a popular choice for video and audio post-production suites,” says Reed. “The new version follows the existing structural configuration but has powder-coated underside legs and pods. We have also enhanced the work surface and shelf finishes, both now available with oak-effect foil applied by a thermoform press which follows the precise contours of the base it to which it is applied.”

“The entire EditOne range of furniture is designed for flat-pack delivery which allows very fast dispatch to site,” adds Fuller. “Assembly can be performed quickly and easily by the customer using the supplied Allen key and screwdriver. We also offer an on-site assembly service whenever that is preferred. Either way, the result is attractively styled and robust with a very long service life.”

Front and rear corners of the EditOne desk and optional pedestal are curved, eliminating any possibility of collision with sharp protrusions and contributing to the ultra-modern styling. The worktop and monitor base also have hard-wearing and operator-friendly curved edges at front, sides and rear.

The EditOne desk incorporates three equipment pods with a collective nine units of rack space. These form the base of a monitor shelf. Full cable management is provided. Power distribution is optional. An auxiliary equipment pedestal with an additional 11 units of rack space and an integral worktop is also available.
