PSNEuropecompiles this month’s list of hot new kit AVID
S3L
What is it? A compact live console said to deliver the sound quality, performance and features of Avid live systems in an all-new modular, networked design.
Details: The open and flexible system comprises an HDX- powered mix engine running VENUE software and AAX DSP plug-ins, scalable remote I/O, a compact EUCON-enabled
TELEFUNKEN M82
What is it? A dynamic cardioid microphone designed to provide a broadcast alternative to familiar large- diaphragm dynamic microphones.
Details: The M82 is a robust dynamic microphone that features a 35mm diaphragm with superb low-frequency capabilities. It is an end-address microphone, meaning that the top portion of the headgrille is pointed at the sound source, and features two separate EQ switches: HIGH BOOST and KICK EQ. These function independently of each other, providing four settings.
The HIGH BOOST switch tilts the upper mid-range and high frequencies (starting around 2kHz with a 6dB boost by 10kHz). For a source such as an announcer’s voice, the HIGH BOOST provides further articulation and airiness in the upper register. Also valuable as a music microphone in addition to broadcast voice, the M82’s
ALCONS AUDIO CR3
What is it? A thee-way pro-ribbon cinema screen system, specifically aimed at medium-sized applications.
Details: Extending Alcons’ Digital Cinema sound system programme, the CR3 offers a unique linear response to above 20kHz; the absence of a compression mechanism caters for the same tonal balance from the lowest to highest SPLs, while the patented ‘Real-90’ horizontal dispersion of the pro-ribbon transducer guarantees a
What is it? A dual-channel mic preamp handcrafted in Israel.
KICK EQ switch engages a passive filter that reduces some of the lower mid-range frequencies (centred around 350Hz). The two EQ switches make the M82 equally suited for a multitude of sources such as broadcast voice, percussion, vocals, guitar and bass amplifiers, organ and brass instruments.
Construction-wise, the M82 borrows heavily from the U47 body style by employing a headgrille of similar architecture. Finished in a durable smooth black finish on the
stable sound field throughout the operating bandwidth. This also widens the stereo experience for far left and right seated audience.
The driver arrangement consists of a double RBN401 pro-ribbon HF driver array, two 6.5” mid-range drivers and two vented 15” woofers for LF reproduction. The CR3 HF section has a 1,600W peak power input, enabling a 1:16 dynamic range with up to 90% less distortion from 1kHz to beyond 20kHz. The biamped CR3 is powered and controlled by the ALC Sentinel amplified loudspeaker controller; through the integrated processing and feedback, the Sentinel offers CR3-specific drive processing with optimal response and reliability.
headgrille and body, the mic is rigorously tested to ensure it can handle the daily needs of the broadcast environment.
