HE-AAC codecs to the plug-in so that the exact clipping behaviour of the iTunes encoding chain may be monitored. Sonnox and Fraunhofer have also integrated the latest surround audio codecs in the form of MPEG Surround, AAC multichannel and HE-AAC multichannel. Developed on the back of the link technology found in the GDC 6432 Digital Commentary System, the GSnake 400M digital audio snake is newly available from Glensound. The system comprises two units: a 2U 19” base station, and a 2U free-standing or stackable stage box. Three links are available – all digital 24-bit 48kHz – with the most robust using coaxial cable. This enables a distance between units of 400m and also carries the power to the stage box, so only a single cable connection is required. The GSnake has to be specified with an Ethernet option – either copper or fibre. The copper Ethernet gives a 100m range and also carries safe power to the stage box using a version of PoE. With the fibre link the two units can be several miles or kilometres apart, with the stagebox powered locally. Also new from Glensound is

processing interfaces that employ a ‘decorrelation technology’ to remove background noise from the required signal are being showcased by French manufacturer HocSonus. The technology employed in the HocSonus interfaces processes the audio signal captured by the microphone, undertaking the following key tasks: separation of all the components of the audio signal; location of the sources and the original information; cancellation of reflection/echo and jitter in the processed channel; improvement of the signal-to- noise ratio to 30dB regardless of the dynamic noise.
The HocSonus interface range
features two models: the Model S for 48V and 12V Phantom static microphones, and the Model D for dynamic microphones including wireless microphones receivers. Console manufacturer Lawo
has developed a more ‘compact, flexible and versatile’ version of its mc256 mixing console. The new desk, says Lawo, combines the proven quality of its predecessors with fresh features, improved functions and multiple innovations. New features include:
permanent metering of the 16 central faders; decentral and two-man operation thanks to fully-featured Iso bay access; nine individually-assignable user buttons; illuminated rotary knobs for improved overview;
