Available in frames from 16 to 80 faders, the console incorporates full integration with the Ravenna audio/media networking technology. Lawo will reveal complete details of the new mc256 during Day 1 of IBC, when it will also present its first video product. A collaboration to develop a
software plug-in offering market- leading upmixing/ downmixing between stereo and 5.1 surround has been announced byNugen Audio and DSpecialists. The plug-in will employ
patented ISOSTEM technology, believed to be the only upmix engine that is fully compatible with stereo, delivering a surround stem that downmixes precisely the original stereo. Nugen Audio will develop
three versions of the plug-in, which will allow audio professionals to produce a mix in the studio using a stereo mixing

process, with the software automating the conversion to 5.1. An upmix plug-in will provide pure upmix with flexible settings; the crossmix plug-in will deliver upmix as well as downmix; and a third version will provide the extended functionality available in the ISOSTEM expert model. The TMU9 is a new, air- cooled medium-power transmitter for the UHF range, on show from Rohde & Schwarz throughout this year’s edition of
IBC. According to R&S, it is the first air-cooled transmitter featuring Doherty technology to significantly increase energy efficiency, allowing network operators to reduce their energy costs by as much as 40%. Rohde & Schwarz’s first audio/video headend, the AVHE100, is among the other fresh items being showcased. Debuting at IBC, the Digital
9000 from Sennheiser is billed as a digital wireless system able to transmit completely uncompressed audio, artefact- free and with superb dynamics. Targeting broadcasting professionals, (musical) theatres and live audio

events, the Digital 9000 system includes the EM 9046 receiver, SKM 9000 handheld and SK 9000 bodypack transmitters, as well as a suite of accessories. Designed for the highest channel counts in today’s increasingly dense frequency environment, the system arrives with two transmission modes. The HD mode will transmit entirely uncompressed, artefact- free audio, as if a high-quality cabled microphone were used. The Long Range (LR) mode has been designed for difficult

transmission environments with many sources of interference. It ensures maximum range with a proprietary Sennheiser digital audio codec. Kevin Jungk, portfolio
manager for wireless mics at Sennheiser, said: “This system is a masterpiece, both in the digital and the wireless realm. It offers unprecedented sound quality and ease of use.” The wide cardioid pick-up
pattern of Sennheiser’s new MKH 8090 studio microphone, meanwhile, is said to make it suitable for orchestral recordings. The latest addition to the MKH studio microphone range is an RF condenser that can be deployed as both a main and a spot microphone. The new Live-Recorder system from SSL is designed for situations where a robust and reliable high-channel-count recorder/player is required in a live performance environment. Live-Recorder exports/ imports directly to/from Pro Tools .ptf, Apple XML and Steinberg XML project formats. System connectivity is via standard optical MADI, so users can connect over long distances directly to any MADI- equipped digital mixing consoles, venue audio distribution infrastructure (Riedel, Optocore etc) or router. Niall Feldman, director of
new products for SSL, said: “Live-Recorder presents significant cost-saving

opportunities when compared to hard disk recorders or other DAW recorder systems. Live- Recorder excels when it comes to high-channel-count recording. Its four SSD bay RAID configuration and Pro Tools format export and import capability offer exactly the workflow we know our customers need.” V5 software for the C100 HDS Digital Broadcast Console is also being showcased by SSL throughout this year’s IBC. The new, V3 edition of
Trinnov’s SmartMeter metering suite incorporates a number of improvements, including time code synchronisation of loudness/true peak measurements.
This functionality, says
Trinnov, allows for real-time logging and consistent loudness/LRA measurements at any time, all the way through the different mixing stages. In addition, SmartMeter V3 supports unlimited numbers of user-defined sources with independent loudness/true peak measurements. As a result of these features, users no longer have to manually pause, resume or even start measurements over. Every loudness value is stored and time-stamped throughout the session. Consequently, projects can be paused, shared on a network and resumed in other studios. n
