Audient Introduces World's First Virtual Console Builder
The world's first Virtual Console Builder by Audient allows the users to view an image of their
console change in real time while adding or removing modules, making it easy for them to download
customized configurations for reference
Audient has created the world's first virtual console builder. Audient is making it easier
than ever
to configure - and visualize - one's own desk, using the new Virtual Console Builder on the
Audient
website.
Audient's Andrew Allen explains, "The ASP8024-HE is one of the only modular consoles on the
market,
which means it can be configured in hundreds of different ways. We wanted to demystify the process.
Potential customers can now use this online tool to see what options are available, customize and
choose the ideal desk for them with a real time and downloadable visualization."
Navigating using a simple interface, users start by selecting the number of channels from 12 to 72.
By answering a few simple yes/no questions, they can easily add a Patchbay, Producer Desk or Dual
Layer Control - or all three. To tailor the console to suit their workflow and studio setup more
precisely, further extras such as an extended depth top shelf upgrade, VESA mount or extra-deep
armrest are also available.
Each decision is illustrated on screen in real time, allowing customers to view an image of 'their'
console changing before their eyes, as they add and remove modules. When satisfied with the layout,
it's easy to download their bespoke configuration to keep for reference.
"Once you've clicked 'Download', you're not locked into that configuration," adds Allen, explaining
that modules could still be arranged in a different order. "The beauty of this tool is that if you
are interested in making your dream studio a reality with Audient, it's easy to use Console Builder
to request a callback."
The launch of Console Builder coincides with a cosmetic refresh of the desk itself. New customers of
the ASP8024-HE will still enjoy all the same features of the British brand's flagship desk, but now
with an aesthetic redesign. "We've made it easier to navigate the console, with a view to providing
a better user experience," says Andrew, highlighting the new colourway, all-new cool-white metering
and easy to read labelling. "And a stylish, UK handmade walnut armrest completes the new look," he
says.
