Smarter Broadcast Workflows – Audio & Comms Tools for PEG Stations Demo at September 24 meeting

by Yervant Keshishian Sales Engineer, Authorized Trainer & Technical Director, Varto Technologies, Inc

Varto Technologies is proud to welcome the Jersey Access Group (JAG) to our East Rutherford facility on September 24. This year, we are highlighting solutions that address two of the most common challenges PEG broadcasters face: delivering consistently clear audio and keeping production crews connected in real time.

Allen & Heath’s QU and SQ digital mixers

Allen & Heath’s QU and SQ digital mixers give stations a smarter path to audio clarity. In studio control rooms, these mixers simplify complex productions and provide reliable, professional sound for multi-camera shows, news-style programming, and live-to-tape workflows.

Out in the field, their portable form factors and Dante-enabled options make them a strong fit for sports coverage, graduations, and community events where crews need flexibility without sacrificing quality.

For government or council sessions, QU and SQ can complement existing DSP systems by managing multi-mic situations with built-in Automatic Mic Mixing, ensuring a polished result for both in-room audiences and viewers at home. With Dante support, these mixers also provide a straightforward path into IP-based workflows, making audio routing more flexible and future-ready.

Clear-Com’s EQUIP wireless intercom system

Audio is only one part of the equation. Behind the scenes, successful productions depend on crews staying connected and coordinated. Clear-Com’s EQUIP wireless intercom system is designed for exactly that.

In the studio, EQUIP delivers full-duplex, hands-free communication between directors, operators, and stage staff. In the field, it provides reliable coverage in tough RF environments, with rugged headsets and quick NFC pairing that make deployment simple even for lean volunteer crews. Whether producing a live show from the control room or a football game from the sidelines, EQUIP ensures communication never gets in the way of content.

At Varto, we do not just provide gear. We help stations design complete workflows, train staff at every level, and support productions long after installation. It is about giving PEG broadcasters confidence, not just equipment. By combining smarter audio, IP-ready workflows, and dependable crew communication, stations can improve production quality, reduce stress on their teams, and serve their communities with stronger, more engaging broadcasts. We look forward to demonstrating these solutions at the JAG meeting and showing how the right tools can transform both studio and field productions for PEG broadcasters.
