The BBC has equipped its two newest outside broadcast vehicles with Focal CMS50 active monitors. The two vehicles form part of a BBC Radio OB fleet that became fully operational this spring and will ultimately replace the oldest vehicles in the existing fleet.
Focal CMS50 offers a tight, accurate bass and a totally linear midrange, with clear reproduction as close as 50cm. The CMS50 is a two-way, bi-amped, nearfield monitor featuring a 5” mid-woofer and it is the middle size in the CMS (Compact Monitoring System) range, which also comprises the CMS65 and the new CMS40.
Garry Robson, of UK Focal distributor, SCV Electronics Ltd., said, “We presented the Focal CMS range for approval during late 2009 and were delighted when we heard that the CMS50 had been chosen over the usual suspects. One of our dealers, HHB, received the BBC order in early 2010”.
