WLS Chicago Upgrades With Solid State Logic

Solid State Logic has installed one of its C100 HDS Digital Broadcast Console at ABC O&O WLS Chicago. The console was installed as an upgrade for the TV1 production control room and put into service for the station’s new Chicago-centric talk show, Windy City Live that airs weekdays at 9 a.m.

The console was specified to include the Dialogue Automix option to streamline the production of panel-type presentations and the 5.1 Upmix option to create 5.1 versions of stereo content segments for the live-to-air program.

“We upgraded our TV1 HD control room with new equipment and needed an audio console that would work for live production,” says Kal Hassan, the station’s VP-director of engineering. “The C100 HDS offered the specific features we needed at the right price/performance ratio for this particular installation.”
