“SADiE is the primary system used by Radio New Zealand for multi-track recordings and we have recently completed an upgrade with the addition of two H128s, adding to the mix of PCM2s, PCM4s, PCM8s, H64s.

SADiE is well-liked by our staff, even those who have used other systems, and it made sense to build on the strong foundation of skills built up over the last seven years.”
