Radio 2AP is Samoa’s national radio station founded in 1947 when it began broadcasting only on AM. Today even Radio 2AP broadcasts on AM to cover the 2 islands, Upolu, where the capital city Apia is located, and Suvaii, which together make up Samoa; as well as on FM with several new transmitters around the nation, as well as online on the popular aggregator ZenoFM. Its programming is mainly public service, with large news slots and very local content, along with large music or sports blocks.
Radio 2AP has now entrusted AEQ’s local partner Miseopoint with the renovation of its main broadcasting studio in digital quality and of course the heart of the system is the new compact AEQ CAPITOL IP console, which manages all the signals sent to the programme as well as the contributions to the country’s national television station TV9.
AEQ CAPITOL IP 12 is a digital audio mixing console with a 12-fader control surface. In CAPITOL IP the implementation of IP connectivity is based on a single module of 16 input and 16 output channels, incorporated in its core. One of the main qualities of AEQ CAPITOL IP is the wide input capacity available: 4 mic/line, 12 analogue, 4 digital stereo AES/EBU (AES3), 2 digital stereo USB, 2 optional telephone lines, and optional digital multichannel audio links; 16 AoIP channels over two ethernet connectors or 64 MADI channels input over optical fibre.
The AEQ CAPITOL IP console is very popular in remote studios around the globe, as it offers digital technology with IP functions, supporting the latest features demanded by the market, but with a very simple and especially robust operation, which makes it the ideal unit for these public service studios in such distant locations.
The success of this new radio studio confirms Miseopoint’s commitment to AEQ technology in these remote territories, being the third successful collaboration of the two companies after Eclair FM in Guadeloupe and SBC in the Solomon Islands.
