CCTV-China acquires new Production Equipment

China Central Television (CCTV) is raising its sound production values using a new audio OB van. This has been an ambitious project for the Chinese state broadcaster which runs 45 TV and radio channels and has an audience of more than one billion.

CCTV is in a commanding position with its news, documentary, comedy, entertainment, drama and sports programming. The OB van build is being co-ordinated by main contractor NDT, to serve both sports events and live music concerts. 

The national station has been using Lawo mixing consoles since 2008, and is very satisfied with their stability and reliability in mission critical on-air broadcast and sports production environments, and also their ease of operation. The OB van project, begun in January 2016, and the order placed with Lawo in June, was completed in July.
