Neutrik sells Entavision/LA

When Creative Studio Solutions, a Colorado-based studio design and engineering firm, was contracted to conduct the massive installation of Entravision's 27 networked studios in LA, they chose Neutrik USA for all the connectors. Located on Willshire Boulevard in LA, the Entravision installation included nine on-air studios, nine production studios and nine imaging studios, all interconnected at the request of Entravision's owners and operators. Neutrik products were used throughout the entire studio/master control/routing system in order to provide the most reliable interconnectivity.

"This installation was a huge system designed specifically for Entravision," said Andrew Rosenberg, CEO and Chief Engineer for CSS. "It is a router-based system with audio in every studio going through the router instead of through the mixing board. Entravision wanted the ability to swap audio around everywhere - to bring audio up in any studio they wanted. Accessibility in all 27 studios was imperative and Neutrik connectors definitely helped facilitate matters."

The program includes tongue-in-cheek comments from today's funniest folks along with an overview of the major categories and plenty of predictions on who will walk away with a statuette.
