Calrec Type RT console and Apex M6 expand IP production workflows

The launch of the Calrec Type RT console and Apex M6 signals a shift toward modular, high-density audio infrastructure that prioritizes interoperability over proprietary lock-in. By integrating native ST 2110 and NMOS support, Calrec is addressing the industry's move toward distributed production models where hardware must bridge legacy MADI or SDI signals with modern AoIP networks. This ecosystem approach, reinforced by integrations with Grass Valley’s AMPP and NEP’s Platform, allows broadcasters to scale audio capacity via virtualized DSP rather than fixed hardware investments. Watch for how the new short-term licensing models for ImPulseV impact the adoption rate of virtualized audio processing among tier-two broadcasters and pop-up event producers.
