In a large studio that can accommodate hundreds of people, the audience sitting in the corner can clearly feel the direction and strength of a bead landing in the center of the stage, and even "see" its bouncing trajectory - this is not future technology, this is the daily life of Ningbo Radio and Television Studio.
As the main venue for hosting core programs such as variety shows, evening parties, and large-scale interviews, this studio has extremely high requirements for sound effects: not only must it achieve "zero error" broadcasting safety, but it must also allow every performer and live audience to truly "immerse" in the emotions of the program and obtain an immersive audio-visual experience. Faced with this challenge, Ningbo Radio and Television resolutely chose the world-renowned brand CADAC from the UK. We have also lived up to expectations by adopting the most cutting-edge immersive sound technology in the industry and tailoring a system solution to achieve the perfect integration of sound and space.
Immersive Sound Processor
The system core adopts CADAC CP32 immersive sound processor, based on FPGA core technology and integrating advanced HOA algorithms, which can render various audio formats such as mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1 into immersive sound 3D effects. Through carefully arranged 24 speaker arrays, the sound can truly achieve a qualitative leap from "audible" to "visible".

In the system link design, a dual backup transmission scheme of parallel digital and analog signals is adopted, greatly improving the safety and stability of on-site performances, ensuring that the performances are foolproof. A qualitative leap, making every visitor feel as if they are immersed in the long river of history.

digital mixing console
The British CADAC CM-J50 digital mixing console, highly favored by sound engineers, continues CADAC's consistent wide dynamic range and extremely low noise performance. It is equipped with a 23.5-inch high-definition touch screen and a preset 64 × 64 Waves interface, which can call up a rich professional effects library to meet the needs of various program productions; Its proprietary MegaCOMMS protocol ensures extremely low latency transmission for the system, while the mirrored dual machine hot backup and "digital+analog" dual link parallel solution provide dual security guarantees for large-scale live broadcasts. It is worth mentioning that users can directly control the immersive sound system through the OSC network protocol on the mixing console interface, achieving seamless linkage between production and sound amplification. The supporting stage interface box is equipped with advanced front speakers, which can provide a fully functional and well-equipped remote I/O solution up to 2000 meters away from the mixing console, providing great convenience for the system construction of the studio.
As an authoritative mainstream media, Ningbo Radio and Television has taken the lead in adopting the British CADAC immersive sound system, which not only highly recognizes the stability and innovation of our products, but also marks the deep integration of the internationally leading and domestically pioneering immersive sound technology into the core broadcasting system of China Radio and Television. Nowadays, every audience member who steps into this studio will be amazed after experiencing it firsthand: they are no longer just "watching" the performance, but are completely "wrapped" by the sound and integrated into the story.
