Bel sees Middle East success
Published: MEA
MIDDLE EAST: Bel Digital Audio has seen an increase in interest for its specialist broadcast monitors and digital delays in the Middle East and central Asia. This trend has been highlighted by recent sales to Al Jazeera in Qatar and Xeyal TV in Azerbaijan.
Al Jazeera International in Doha recently created four new Final Cut Pro edit suites and specified Bel’s BM-A2-4SHD audio monitors for each of the suites via Omni Group, the manufacturer’s dealer in Qatar. ‘When we were showing the options available to Al Jazeera, alongside the audible and visual alarm the simplicity of operation was an overriding factor in Al Jazeera’s decision to build the Bel units into their new edit suites,’ said Omni Group’s sales director, Mustapha Hallab.
In a similar project, regional Azerbaijan broadcaster Xeyal TV has recently taken delivery of two Bel 7150 digital audio synchronisation delays and a pair of BCR-A1OB in-rack audio monitors, via the company’s Turkish distributor, Idea Pro, for use in its newly built HD TV studios.
According to the manufacturer, these orders follow part of a growing sales trend with more interest being generated from the emerging Central Asian region alongside the more well-established Gulf States and MEA more generally.
