What Studer Editech does

Studer Editech manufactures professional digital audio mixing consoles and routing technology serving broadcast, live production, sports, performing arts, recording, and podcast markets. The product portfolio centers on the Vista series of consoles — ranging from the compact 12-fader Vista BRAVO and Vista 1 Carbon through the Vista V and the large-scale Vista X with up to 72 faders — supported by Infinity ST DSP cores, modular I/O systems (D23m, D21m, Compact Stagebox), the Micro Series for radio and podcast production, Vista-in-VUE software workstations, and Dante/MADI audio gateways. Core technology is built around the proprietary Vistonics™ user interface, integral MADI connectivity, and support for SMPTE ST2110-30 and Dante IP-audio protocols, with automation features such as Audio-Follows-Video via Ember and Pro-Bel.

The business operates as a brand under Evertz Technologies Ltd. (TSX: ET), which acquired Studer Audio in 2021 and relocated manufacturing from Hungary to Burlington, Ontario in November 2021. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of complete console systems with modular expansion options, sold on a quote basis through Evertz's direct enterprise field-sales organization, international partners, and regional offices, targeting broadcast facilities, OB vehicles, sports arenas, concert halls, news production, and house-of-worship installations. Marquee deployments include the Cleveland Cavaliers, Czech Television, Eurovision 2023, Grand Ole Opry, RAI, Rudolfinum Concert Hall, and The Metropolitan Opera. The unit has 51-100 employees and is headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, with brand roots tracing to 1948/1951 and iconic heritage including The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band recordings at EMI/Abbey Road Studios on Studer tape decks.
