Paradiso can be used at large events that require Worldwide broadcast coverage.
Audio links between the Paradiso and other equipment are by Dante (AES67 compliant) complete with redundant copper & fibre links. Analogue I/O and AES3 I/O are also provided directly from the unit for local connections and/ or another layer of redundancy.

The Paradiso has been designed to be intuitive & easy to use for Commentators’ who would rather be talking about the game than working out how the equipment works, and is also built to our exacting rugged & robust standard to make it a reliable piece of broadcast equipment for the busy engineer.

8 off Audio Volume Controls for Each Commentators with Pan
On the top panel are 24 rotary headphone volume encoders. Internally they are connected to a DSP matrix and the sources can be set depending upon your preference.
Next to each encoder is an ePaper display which provides a visual indication of both the position of the volume control and the current panning position of the source in the commentators headphones.
Turning the encoder adjusts the volume, and simultaneously pressing down and turning the encoder adjusts the pan.

ePaper Displays
The ePaper displays provide an indication of headphone volume and pan position. They also display the name of the associated audio source/ destination. The display name can be custom set or taken from the routed source name from within the Dante network. The bottom ePaper display that has no associated switch or encoder can be programmed to display a users name, but this is overridden temporarily when the associated inputs gain control is adjusted and the display shows the gain in dB of the input.

Peak Programme Meter (PPM)
The source of the PPM can be customised but is normally the outgoing programme mix. When a front panel gain control is adjusted the PPM automatically shows just the level from that input.

Robust Mic on and Talkback Buttons
There are 4 off round bright illuminated talkback buttons and 1 large square illuminated mic on button for each of the 3 commentators. The audio circuits that the outputs of these switches are routed to can be fully configured. The operation of these switches (momentary, latching etc) and the interaction of these switches (i.e. pressing a talkback switches mutes the main mic) can be fully configured by the windows 10 app.

Audio Inputs
There are 3 balanced audio inputs one for each commentator. Each of these inputs can be selected to accept a Microphone or Line level source. 48V phantom power can be turned on if in microphone mode.
A very high quality remote controlled microphone amplifier has been used followed by exception analogue to digital converter to make the audio quality the best that it can possibly be.

Gain Control
The gain control is a rotary encoder with a clear plastic shaft. When the gain control is operated the ePaper display above the control indicates the current amount of gain being applied and the front panel PPM automatically solos the source to allow unambiguous gain settings. The clear plastic shaft has an internal red LED that is illuminated if an input level is close to clipping, thus allowing quick diagnostics of a gain level that has been set too high.

Intelligent Headphone Output Circuits
Our unique intelligent headphone output circuits automatically adjust the output level to suit both high and low impedance headphones. Traditional broadcast high impedance headphones require a large output level to produce enough volume in the headphones, whereas low impedance headphones require much less level to produce a proportional output level. This means that whatever headphones you connect to the Paradiso you’ll enough audio output for even the loudest of environments.
Plus our headphone amplifiers can accept mono as well as stereo headphones.

Aux In
In addition to the three commentators inputs there is a 4th ‘Auxiliary’ Input. This is provided on a stereo 3.5mm jack socket and is suitable for connection to the outputs of domestic recording devices such as a mobile phone.

Redundant Powering Options
The Pardiso can be powered from any of 4 different sources:
1) Wide range Mains Input (suitable fo Worlwide use)
2) PoE on the Primary CAT5 Network link
3) PoE on the Secondary CAT5 Network link
4) External 12V DC

Primary & Secondary Fibre Connections
Two industry standard Neutrik Opticons are fitted for fibre connectivity to the IP network. These are connected internally to single mode fibre drivers, but multimode can be supplied if required instead.The primary & secondary network circuits allow for glitch free redundancy across both the Fibre & Copper network interfaces.

Primary & Secondary Copper Network Connections with PoE
Two CAT6 connections on Neutrik Ethercons (that accept standard networking cables) are provided to allow copper connections to local network switches to carry the Dante/ AES67 audio. Two connections are fitted to allow redundant circuits to be used if required.
Both these connectors can accept a PoE power source for providing the power to the Inferno.

Analogue Inputs & Outputs
Five analogue inputs and outputs are provided for backup or local I/O purposes. These circuits are routed internally via the DSP and therefore can be routed to and from any location including Dante circuits required.

AES & GPIO
A D9 socket provides 2 general purpose outputs (GPO) for connection to red lights & TB systems, 2 general purpose inputs (GPI) are also fitted for external triggering. The same D9 socket also has an AES3 input & output circuit for further audio connectivity.

I love it!!!
Size: M Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Easy to assemble, all the pieces were in the box. I set everything out to be sure. Instructions were easy and clear, took about 10 min to put together. Seems to be quality pipe, strong stable build even at just hand tight. When I put the desk top on it was already level so bonus there. This kit is a great value, before I found the M desk I was looking on Pinterest for pipe leg designs thinking a trip to the hardware store and I could make it for cheaper, which was not the case. I 100% will recommend, and will purchase again.

Real steel pipe
Size: O Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
This pipe table leg set was great. It's real steel pipe like from the hardware store. It does have a layer of oil on it so that must be stripped using dawn or some other degreaser before handleing and painting. It is also offset in the middle bar so if you use it as a desk you get more leg clearance. I used it as a table base so I bought matching middle braces to set the middle support in the center of the table. Once together it looks great. I highly recommend getting this if you want a good quality pipe base.

Price / Quality - Office Desk - Perfect
Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Purchased two sets to create a custom L shaped desk for the office. Placed a pine stained top. Perfect to handle a monitor, multiple laptops, normal office equipment. Extra benefit is the cross piece at the bottom as a foot rest. Very sturdy while sitting on carpet. Compared to normal pipe material purchased in large box store -- could not have asked for a better product for the price. Looking at other products for additional projects for around the house for the product and vendor. - Highly Recommend.

Fantastic style, good stability, customizable finish, and great customer service
Size: M Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Put this together in about April 2020 right about the crazy lockdown/quarantine/work-from-home timeframe. I knew that I wanted a simple hardwood desk with no drawers or stuff below the top. I have an ergonomic keyboard tray that I have attached to all my work desks for many years now, and it was too long for my old home desk, which was also made of MDF and was falling apart. Boo. Enter this kit plus a butcher block top from the big box store. This kit went together easily. I had lost the instructions but a quick email to the JS Supplies company, and they hooked me up. By the time they sent it, I had actually figured out the part that was puzzling, which was what the all-thread pieces were for (the couplers between the elbows and the flanges on the top side). I degreased all the parts with a simple Simple Green-type solution diluted in a 5 gallon bucket. I then sprayed the pieces with a satin nitrocellulose laqcuer (Minwax brand that I got from the home improvement big box). Worked great. I thought about doing a sealed rust finish using a science project volcano--vinegar and baking soda for a quick layer of rust on the outside--but I decided against it, as I wasn't sure of how stable the final product would be, even after a clear spray finish. The satin nitro finish looks great without even looking like a finish. I also coated the pieces with paste wax after the finish dried, just for good measure. The one thing that is a bit disappointing is the stability... WITH MY TOP, mind you.I should be clear that the top that I'm using is a 1-3/4" thick monster piece of birch butcher block that is 60" x 30". I'm guessing that it's 40-50 pounds? Maybe more. This is probably WAY more weight than this leg set is made for. I also have the aforementioned keyboard tray that sticks out (torque equals force times lever arm) and causes even more torque. I get some shaking with the top with this setup. I have the desk on carpet; I was concerned that maybe the carpet and pad were not giving enough stability with the feet, so I made some plywood platforms for the feet. I also carefully leveled the feet to make sure it wasn't just uneven legs that was causing the instability. Still shakes no matter what I tried. I think it's just that I have such a heavy top--more than this thing is spec'd for. That's totally fine, and I don't want to knock off a bunch of stars for that. I leave these comments more as a "don't do what I did" thing. Just be advised that you need to limit the weight of the top to something reasonable. The design of one upright on each side of the desk with a pipe coupler in between is probably the weak spot with my heavy desktop; I'm thinking of either adding tension on either side (with some threaded rod and turnbuckles) or some extra supports with something like the Steel-Tek pieces from Lowe's. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product and the company!
