From Sweden to Italy:
"The Remarkable Journey of a Mint-Condition Console
The emulations included in the Sand 4 Ultra suite are the result of a complete resampling
of a console in near-mint condition, a real gem located at Digital Lake Studio S.r.l. in Italy.
This console has an interesting origin, having been commissioned from Sweden. Swe-
dish Radio Television ordered 12 nearly identical consoles between 1994 and 1997. The
sampled console, dated 1997, was installed in a mobile broadcast van (OB Van) based in southern Sweden. It was used approximately three days a week for two years
before being decommissioned. Prior to its transfer to our studio in Italy, it was finely calibrated to a tolerance of 1/10 of a dB between channels using a sophisticated and highly
professional system, and it has always been meticulously maintained to keep the mixer
in perfect technical and functional condition. As it was commissioned by a broadcaster, it
features several customizations tailored to its use, including a master section that is more
compact to fit within the 200 cm width requirement of an OB Van." - SAND4 ULTRA User Manual
