VRM™ Box Powers IADT`s Audio Classroom Las Vegas

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE VRM™ Box Powers IADT's Audio Classroom Las Vegas Academy Equips With VRM L­R: Gaming Chair Shawn Treants, Audio Chair Ron Herbes, and Studio Manager Bobby Ferrari The International Academy of Design & Technology (IADT) in Las Vegas, Nevada have recently purchased a classroom's worth of Focusrite's VRM Box headphone monitoring systems to perform interface duties in their suite of audio computers. IADT Studio Manager Bobby Ferrari, who chose to install VRM Box, explains his purchasing decision: "I needed a solution for 26 Alienware gaming computers running Pro Tools 9. The machines were not equipped with the proper drivers and we didn’t want or need a digital I/O device for that classroom. GC Pro turned me on to the Focusrite VRM Box; problem solved!" Jason Cropper, the Account Manager at Guitar Center’s GC Pro who recommended VRM Box adds, "VRM Box is easy to use, sounds great and has the versatility needed for plug‐and‐play applications in the educational environment. The VRM’s were taken out of the box, plugged in and worked perfectly. IADT in Las Vegas met their curriculum deadline well under budget and on time thanks to Focusrite." Having had VRM Box at his disposal for some weeks now, Bobby Ferarri and his team are completely satisfied. "They were easy to install, they sound amazing, with almost no learning curve for the students and staff. Literally plug and play! As far as I’m concerned the VRM Box is the only solution for critical listening when you don’t have access to a true studio environment."
