Located in Penang, on the Northwest coast of Malaysia, the university college is renowned for its excellence in media and communication education, offering a robust curriculum, combined with hands-on training and advanced facilities to equip its students for the evolving media landscape.
DHD DX2 Smart IP modular on-air consoles have been installed in the radio studio. The consoles have been designed for durability and regular use and feature motorised faders, a multitouch display and a central control and monitoring area. The addition of a GUI touchscreen further enhances operational efficiency for students and staff. Completed over a four-day period, the installation also included thorough training and commissioning.
Stagetec Asia also implemented Zenon Media’s Radio in a Box – Plug & Play Radio Automation system for the studio. This all-in-one solution has been designed to streamline contemporary broadcasting with features such as playlist scheduling, playout, database management, editing and voice tracking. “The Zenon Media Plug & Play automation system is perfectly suited for space-efficient environments,” noted Yap Wei Keong, senior project manager at Stagetec Asia. “Its pre-configured modules facilitate a straightforward setup and efficient broadcast management while supporting seamless system expansion.”
