The Vista 1 is now available for demo, along with accompanying studio monitors and outboard gear, at Dale Pro Audio’s Queens location.
Based in New York City, Dale Pro Audio has served the broadcast, live sound, contracting, and studio and post-production markets for more than 50 years.

The Studer Vista 1 console fits in well with our current initiative to further expand our offerings and service to the broadcast market, and we're confident it'll serve our clients well."
