Bio:ANTHONY KUZUB updated May 2021
Anthony is a 3rd generation recording / broadcasting engineer. Obsessed with audio from a young age, he studied Ward-Beck Systems console schematics while his dad worked at CFQC-TV in Saskatoon. He maintains WBSps.ca , a Preservation Society whose members collate tech info and documentation about the legendary Toronto manufactured broadcast equipment. After 15 years of owning studios, producing music, mixing for IATSE 300, and refurbishing consoles he moved from Saskatoon to Toronto. In 2010 Anthony commissioned Revolution Recording as their Technical Supervisor. While Rush was recording in studio A, he built a custom Ward-Beck Systems Mixing Console for C. Anthony consulted, upgraded and designed audio equipment for community pillar like Livewire, Joao Carvalho Mastering, Lacquer Channel, many private individuals and studio visitors.
In 2016 he earned an Honors Diploma in Communication Engineering from Seneca Toronto.
Upon graduation, Anthony worked as the IP audio product manager for Toronto’s Ward-Beck.Systems. While taking on the role as Chair of the Toronto Audio Engineering Society (www.TorontoAES.org) he designed networked audio systems for railroads, broadcast plants, transmitter sites, production studios and virtualized production environments. Most notably were his contributions in an AES70 commanded remote controlled microphone pre-amp with AES67 transceivers meeting SMPTE 2110-30 compliancy. Anthony has designed, engineered, manufactured and supplied the highest quality broadcast and studio equipment to television and radio broadcasters worldwide.
As of 2020 Anthony has been working with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to design systems to best implement Audio Engineering Society standards. Leading projects with engineering Solution for the Media technology and infrastructure services. Anthony’s current portfolios include real time and file transport of production audio for radio, television and digital production.
Anthony is actively involved in the technical development of audio and media control standards.

Neutrik adopts AES72-4E – for QTP
NEUTRIK AES72-4E QTP RJ45 Twisted Pair Audio Network Solutions PDF
https://www.neutrik.com/en/product/na-4i4o-aes72
06/02/2024 – Neutrik Launches: NA-4I4O-AES72
The NA-4I4O-AES72 is a 4-channel stagebox for transmitting microphone levels, analog line levels, AES3, DMX or even intercom via one single CAT cable. The device has male and female XLRs in the same housing and can be used directly as a splitter for monitoring. An additional etherCON serves as feedthrough and allows further looping of the signals to other devices. A ground lift at each input prevents possible ground loops. In addition, each input connector offers the possibility to invert the signal.

Celebration of Chris Tobin
Alex and I attended the Celebration of a fellow engineer Chris Tobin.
I was on the TWRIT show three time I think with him. Solid questions, great interviewer, great ethic. I watched Many hours of him sharing wisdom with the internet. Smart guy and busy busy busy doing the worlds most amazing project. Some of his brilliance was captured on this week in radio tech
He was taken too soon.
