Waves Joins Elite Industry Panel at SVG Europe Sports Audio Summit

	Waves Cloud MX Audio Mixer

Waves Audio announces that Greg Kopchinski, Waves live and install product manager, will join an elite industry panel at the Sports Audio Summit hosted by SVG Europe on December 7, 2022. The panel session, titled "Exploring the sound of sports production virtualization in the cloud," features participants from Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, Sky Sports, and other audio production companies.

The Sports Audio Summit will be held at King's Place in London and features a full-day program for audio experts to explore the most exciting and disruptive technologies and workflows used today in sports broadcasting technology. Earlier this year, Waves introduced the Cloud MX Audio Mixer, a cloud-based professional audio mixer that delivers pristine audio, high-precision mix control, and creative processing capabilities with Waves plugin integration in a scalable, broadcast-ready cloud workflow. Since the product introduction, Waves has assisted several broadcasters as they evaluated the transition to cloud production workflows.

In the past month, Waves also announced that the Cloud MX application had completed the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Foundational Technical Review (FTR). The FTR is led by an AWS Partner Solutions Architect (PSA) who reviews AWS Partner products and solutions against a specific set of requirements based around security, reliability and operational excellence as defined by the AWS Well-Architected Framework. As an AWS Partner, Waves is now able to further review projects against FTR requirements, adhering to best practices and ensuring the best possible customer experience.

The Sports Audio Summit session with Waves' Kopchinski will review what the cloud offers today for audio in sports broadcasting, what is being deployed in Europe, how it is driving manufacturers' product roadmaps, and where audio stands in this virtual future. Kopchinski will bring insight from multiple customer evaluations and deployments to the discussion, along with key insights to the future capabilities of cloud-based audio workflows. Kopchinski will also be available throughout the event to meet with engineers and production managers attending the Summit.

Heather McLean, SVG Europe editor and head of SVG Europe Audio, comments, "The Sports Audio Summit is going to be a spectacular day for the European audio community. We have a packed agenda and the highest level speakers in sound, so make sure you register now and come and join us in London on 7 December."
