Finland’s Soundon and Genelec are no strangers to each other, having relied heavily on a successful Genelec install in its original truck. Now, with demand surging, Soundon has recently added a second OB van to its fleet—equipped with a 5.1 Genelec Smart Active Monitoring System. The addition of the new truck—which specializes in sound recording for concerts and television with multi-camera productions and live broadcasts— gives Soundon more capacity for bookings and post-production studio sessions.
The idea was to replicate this layout in the new vehicle. “We wanted to make our new truck similar to the older one, so it would provide seamless control and it wouldn’t matter which one you are working with,” explained Timo Virtanen, Soundon’s sound designer and CEO. “Now when the other truck is somewhere in a production location, we can still do some post in our second truck. There is no need to have a fancy studio room when you can do everything in a moving OB truck. Also, our audio gear has grown so much that we needed a bigger storage area.”
