Showbizz NL, supplier of mobile radiostudiofacilities on event-locations in Europe, presented the D&R Axum-studio’s first time on Netherlands Zwarte Cross (an event with over 100.000 people attending) and experienced responses like ‘cool’, 'awesome' and 'sensational' to the brandnew D&R AXUM radio mixer, delivered by Dutch broadcast supplier Niehoff Sound en Light.

Eric Holzhauer, owner of the Showbizz NL explains: never before was I able to really design my own ideal mixer without compromises: but Niehoff and D&R made it possible - in a nice and pleasant way of working with both Niehoff and D&R: these are people with the so important heart and passion for radio.
The AXUM platform offers nearly unlimited possibilities for hitradio, sport programs and the more serious news programs. And even more new ideas in developing the Axum-software are in the pipeline.
The new Showbizz NL mobile radiostudio has some almost decadent features like automatically opening microphone-motorfaders by just the touch of a button; every input source can be selected on every fader by a simple twist of a knob out of the large digital matrix, at the same time switching all related functionality like EQ, dynamics, routing, clean feeds instantly too. Remotestart switches above and below the faders, just what you prefer; a dump rail for seperate off-air recording and editing of phonecalls and interviews while simply staying on air. All in a beautiful and very easy to understand 20-channel lay-out; plus a neat playback-rack with the more technical things like the reliable professional Axum-patchfield at the back. The real decadence comes when simply pushing the button that adjusts the height of the workspace for easily presenting sitting or standing, just what you prefer. But most important of course is: how does it sound and feel? Really great! Making radio this way is really fun and makes you feel great. Optimaal FM used Showbizz NL's brand new mobile Axum-studio first time for three days presenting live being the official event-radio at the 'Zwarte Cross', a mega open air event in the Netherlands with almost 100.000 people attending and enjoying a truly unique programming like tractor pulling with rocket engines, demonstrations, shows, races, many artists performing, camping, fun, lots of food and drinks and amazing stunts with motorcycles like jumping off a 75 meters high tower - a few days having fun and escaping real world: in a unique, very positive and fun atmosphere.
