Wrocław, Poland, June 2nd, 2026 — The Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław has upgraded its STM (Studio Technik Multimedialnych) studio with the installation of a Harrison Audio 32Classic 48-channel analog mixing console supplied by the official distributor in Poland, Commercial Audio. The new 32Classic 48, which includes a Dante interface and premium converters, has been integrated with the academy’s Dante network to enable patching to/from four Harrison D510r 10-slot 500 Series racks and the DAW, plus access to sources anywhere in the building.
   
The studio, built in 2012, supports students and faculty and is also available for commercial projects. It has recently begun a revitalization and modernization process. “STM is designed to bridge education, art and professional production, and our goal is to create a facility that meets high production standards while remaining an effective learning environment—and the Harrison 32Classic is a central element of that vision,” says Dr. Przemysław Jarosz, Sound Engineer/Recording Mixer at STM.

 
   
“For students, the Harrison 32Classic is a unique opportunity to work on a legendary analog console and truly understand how audio behaves in a classic ‘in-line’signal path,” he continues. “At the same time, the system is built for today’s workflows thanks to AoIP (Dante) interface integration. This hybrid approach lets students and engineers learn both worlds: traditional analog technique and modern networked audio.”

The STM studio needs to handle many different musical styles and production scenarios, he says, “So we wanted to start with a console that has a strong sonic character, especially well-suited to jazz. The sound is warm, thick and powerful. The EQ feels very musical and safe; you can make bold moves without the sound becoming harsh or unnatural. Also, having 48 faders gives us much greater flexibility, both for live mixing of large ensembles from the concert hall and for work in our studio spaces. And the wide armrest is surprisingly important, for comfort and ergonomics during long sessions.”

 
   
 
The Harrison console’s integrated Dante interface has revolutionized the way faculty and students approach recording and mixing sessions, Dr. Jarosz reports. “It’s a truly unique feature in the world of analog consoles, and for us it’s been an absolute game changer. First, it enables a highly flexible in-line workflow. We can return signals from the DAW straight back onto the console faders during a recording session, which makes tracking and monitoring feel immediate and intuitive.”
   
Dante also makes mixing much faster, he says. “When we’re working on already recorded material, we can route DAW outputs to the console channels in a very efficient way, with quick changes and minimal setup time. On top of that, the console’s matrix capabilities and external inputs implemented via Dante significantly streamline day-to-day operation. They allow us to switch sources—both at the console and within the digital routing—and build monitoring or routing scenarios quickly, which greatly increases the overall flexibility of the entire system. It’s something no other analog console on the market really offers, and it makes a huge difference in daily work.”
 

   

The four Dante-enabled Harrison D510r 500 Series racks, loaded with 20 SSL and 20 Harrison compressor modules, further expand the 32Classic’s capabilities. “We now have fully featured channels with both EQ and dynamics—the kind of complete, hands-on channel processing you normally associate with classic large-format analog desks—but with full AoIP routing flexibility over the Dante network,” he explains. The Harrison D510 500 Series system at the Karol Lipiński Academy features the D510dante audio interface for seamless routing to/from the console, as well as any other devices on the Dante network.
   
A digital audio format converter with MADI and Dante cards transcodes signals from the Academy’s MADI network to Dante for direct input to the console. “With the digital integration, we can record and route virtually any analog or digital audio signal from virtually anywhere in the Academy—from multiple studios and concert halls, or even from several locations at once—while keeping sources separated and organized through flexible routing and different transmission domains. In practice, this means we can capture complex sessions efficiently, combining various spaces and ensembles into one coherent production workflow.”

 
 
 

While this is the first console of this kind to be installed at STM, Dr. Jarosz says, “We were familiar with Harrison’s legacy and the reputation of its consoles. It’s also wonderful to be able to work on a console whose sonic character has left its mark on iconic productions and artists—names like Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones and Queen.”
   
 
Since the installation, the 32Classic has already been used across a broad range of Academy-related work, including classical, jazz and film-oriented sessions, as well as live and streaming productions. Projects range from solo recordings through chamber music to full symphony orchestras. “The console feels like a strong, long-term platform for the studio’s modernization,” Dr. Jarosz comments. “We also feel fully supported by Commercial Audio—not only did they supply the console, but they also handled the complete integration with all of our studio rooms, the concert hall and the entire outboard setup.”
 
Looking ahead, he says, STM is considering expanding the system toward Dolby Atmos. “The console’s monitoring bus capabilities and flexible routing make it a strong foundation for immersive monitoring and playback,” he says. “It fits naturally into that direction of development.”

The STM studio needs to handle many different musical styles and production scenarios, he says, “So we wanted to start with a console that has a strong sonic character, especially well-suited to jazz. The sound is warm, thick and powerful. The EQ feels very musical and safe; you can make bold moves without the sound becoming harsh or unnatural. Also, having 48 faders gives us much greater flexibility, both for live mixing of large ensembles from the concert hall and for work in our studio spaces. And the wide armrest is surprisingly important, for comfort and ergonomics during long sessions.”
 
他介绍，STM 录音室需要承接风格跨度极大、制作场景多元的音频项目：“因此我们选定这款音色特质鲜明的调音台，它尤其适配爵士乐制作，音色温暖饱满、低频扎实有力。均衡器（EQ）听感自然柔和，即便做大幅度参数调整，声音也不会刺耳、失真。48 路推子带来极高操作自由度，无论是音乐厅大型乐团现场混音，还是录音室内部录制项目都游刃有余。另外宽大扶手的人体工学设计也十分关键，长时间制作时能大幅提升操作舒适度。”
 
 
   
 
The Harrison console’s integrated Dante interface has revolutionized the way faculty and students approach recording and mixing sessions, Dr. Jarosz reports. “It’s a truly unique feature in the world of analog consoles, and for us it’s been an absolute game changer. First, it enables a highly flexible in-line workflow. We can return signals from the DAW straight back onto the console faders during a recording session, which makes tracking and monitoring feel immediate and intuitive.”
 
Jarosz 博士介绍，调音台自带的 Dante 网络接口彻底改变师生录音、混音的工作模式：“这项功能在模拟调音台中独树一帜，对我们而言堪称颠覆性升级。首先，它实现高度灵活的内置通道工作流，录音时可将数字音频工作站输出信号直接回传到调音台推子，录音与监听即时同步，操作直观顺畅。”
   
Dante also makes mixing much faster, he says. “When we’re working on already recorded material, we can route DAW outputs to the console channels in a very efficient way, with quick changes and minimal setup time. On top of that, the console’s matrix capabilities and external inputs implemented via Dante significantly streamline day-to-day operation. They allow us to switch sources—both at the console and within the digital routing—and build monitoring or routing scenarios quickly, which greatly increases the overall flexibility of the entire system. It’s something no other analog console on the market really offers, and it makes a huge difference in daily work.”
 
他补充，Dante 网络还能大幅提速混音工作：“处理已录素材时，我们能高效将工作站输出路由至调音台通道，快速切换信号，大幅减少前期布线调试工作量。除此之外，调音台自带矩阵路由搭配 Dante 外接输入，极大简化日常运维。无论是调音台本地信号，还是数字网络内的音源都能快速切换，一键搭建各类监听、信号路由方案，整套系统整体灵活性大幅提升，市面上其它模拟调音台都无法实现同等功能，日常工作效率提升十分显著。”
 

   

The four Dante-enabled Harrison D510r 500 Series racks, loaded with 20 SSL and 20 Harrison compressor modules, further expand the 32Classic’s capabilities. “We now have fully featured channels with both EQ and dynamics—the kind of complete, hands-on channel processing you normally associate with classic large-format analog desks—but with full AoIP routing flexibility over the Dante network,” he explains. The Harrison D510 500 Series system at the Karol Lipiński Academy features the D510dante audio interface for seamless routing to/from the console, as well as any other devices on the Dante network.
 
四台支持 Dante 网络传输的 Harrison D510r 500 系列机架共装载 20 块 SSL 压缩模块与 20 块 Harrison 压缩模块，进一步拓展 32Classic 调音台处理上限。 “现在我们拥有完整独立通道处理单元，均衡、动态压缩一应俱全，这种完整实体通道处理以往仅见于大型经典模拟调音台，如今依托 Dante 网络，还能实现全 IP 音频灵活路由。” 他解释道。 Karol Lipiński 音乐学院这套 Harrison D510 500 系列系统搭载 D510dante 音频接口，可无缝完成调音台与网络内所有设备之间的信号互通。

   
A digital audio format converter with MADI and Dante cards transcodes signals from the Academy’s MADI network to Dante for direct input to the console. “With the digital integration, we can record and route virtually any analog or digital audio signal from virtually anywhere in the Academy—from multiple studios and concert halls, or even from several locations at once—while keeping sources separated and organized through flexible routing and different transmission domains. In practice, this means we can capture complex sessions efficiently, combining various spaces and ensembles into one coherent production workflow.”
 
学院配备一台集成 MADI、Dante 双卡槽的数字音频格式转换器，负责将校内 MADI 网络信号转译为 Dante 信号，直送入调音台。“依托这套数字集成系统，我们几乎可以收录、路由学院内任意点位的模拟或数字音频信号，涵盖多间录音室、音乐厅，甚至同时调取多个场地音源；借助灵活路由与独立传输分区，所有音源信号都能分类规整、互不干扰。实际工作中，我们可以高效完成多场地、多乐团同步收音，整合为一套完整连贯的制作流程。”
 
 
 

While this is the first console of this kind to be installed at STM, Dr. Jarosz says, “We were familiar with Harrison’s legacy and the reputation of its consoles. It’s also wonderful to be able to work on a console whose sonic character has left its mark on iconic productions and artists—names like Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones and Queen.”
 
Jarosz 博士表示，这是 STM 录音室首次配备该型号调音台，但团队早已熟知 Harrison 品牌底蕴与调音台口碑：“能使用一台参与无数传世经典作品、陪伴 Michael Jackson、Quincy Jones、Queen 等传奇艺人创作的调音台，是难得的体验。”

   
 
Since the installation, the 32Classic has already been used across a broad range of Academy-related work, including classical, jazz and film-oriented sessions, as well as live and streaming productions. Projects range from solo recordings through chamber music to full symphony orchestras. “The console feels like a strong, long-term platform for the studio’s modernization,” Dr. Jarosz comments. “We also feel fully supported by Commercial Audio—not only did they supply the console, but they also handled the complete integration with all of our studio rooms, the concert hall and the entire outboard setup.”
 
自装机完成后，这台 32Classic 已承接学院各类音频项目，涵盖古典乐、爵士乐、影视配乐录音，以及现场演出、线上直播制作；录制内容从独奏、室内乐到完整交响乐团全覆盖。Jarosz 博士评价：“这款调音台足以作为录音室长期现代化升级的核心硬件平台。代理商提供的配套服务也十分完善，不仅供货调音台整机，还全程负责设备集成，打通了所有录音室、音乐厅与周边外置硬件的信号链路。”
 
Looking ahead, he says, STM is considering expanding the system toward Dolby Atmos. “The console’s monitoring bus capabilities and flexible routing make it a strong foundation for immersive monitoring and playback,” he says. “It fits naturally into that direction of development.”
 
展望未来，他表示 STM 录音室计划围绕杜比全景声（Dolby Atmos）拓展整套音频系统：“这款调音台自带多路监听母线，搭配灵活的信号路由架构，是搭建沉浸式音频监听与回放系统的绝佳基底，完全契合我们未来的发展规划。”
