Introduction

The unique requirements of electronic news-gathering (ENG) trucks, satellite news-gathering (SNG) trucks, and special- ized remote broadcast applications demand more than just a general-purpose audio mixer. That’s why Studio Technolo- gies created the Model 750, a special piece of equipment for a special applica- tion. Only by taking the time to speak with industry professionals—designers of ENG and SNG vehicles, along with numerous field technical personnel—were the neces- sary specifications established. Using that information as a “road map” to guide the process, additional features, operating ergonomics, and overall “look-and-feel”

issues were addressed. The result is a high-performance, easy-to-use audio mixer expressly designed to go “on-the- road.”
