26-28 February
CEDAR Audio’s DNS 8 Live will make its UK debut
the digital wireless system that can transmit uncompressed audio, artefact-free. Also on show will be microphone, long-distance RF transport, headphone and monitoring products, as well as highlights from its distributed partners including Nagra and Avalon. TSL is introducing the first member of its Studio Audio Monitor (SAM) family, the SAM1-3GM audio monitoring unit. Designed to help streamline workflows, the SAM1-3GM allows the user to allocate individual channel formats as stereo, mono and 5.1, with the immediate ability to downmix surround sound sources for precise stereo compatibility monitoring. Channels can also be mixed with a single button to achieve individual level trims and channel balance/pan control. The resulting ‘mix’ output is then available for use as a line-level analogue or AES feed. Products on show on the
Wohler stand include WohlerLoudness and AMP1-MADIe. Powered by RadiantGrid and employing Linear Acoustic’s
AERO.file technology, WohlerLoudness provides a solution for file-based loudness correction with built-in up-mix and down-mix capabilities. It enables operators to identify and correct loudness issues at ingest – before they become a problem. The AMP1- MADIe is a new in-rack portable MADI unit with Ethernet control and configuration. Said to be ideal for sports productions and other live broadcasts, it can be connected in series with a 56- or 64- channel MADI stream
for individual volume adjustment and audible monitoring of any eight selected MADI channels at once. n
