What is it? A new multi-format AES to MADI converter that provides fibre and coaxial transport.
Details: The new 1U device is intended to provide a single solution to providing MADI on fibre for the broadcast environment. The AM64 accepts up to 64 channels comprising 32 stereo pairs of AES/EBU or AES3-id audio (selectable from the front panel) and
provides format conversion to MADI (with switchable sample-rate converters). The MADI data is then presented either via coaxial or fibre outputs.
And another thing: The AM64 is compatible with both single-mode and multi-mode fibre and provides peace of mind with a redundant power supply.

ALLEN & HEATH ICE-16D
What is it? An alternative version of the ICE-16 multitrack recorder launched last year.
Details: Both units are 16 in/16 out audio interfaces, allowing performers and audio engineers to capture high-quality multitrack recordings direct to a USB drive or interface to a computer. Additionally, the ICE-16D has
balanced I/O, designed for those customers using the unit in a studio environment or requiring fully balanced inputs and outputs on AES59 standard D Sub connectors. Fitted into a compact 1U rack design, ICE-16 and ICE-16D are capable of studio-quality interfacing, converting and bidirectional streaming of 16 channels over high- speed USB or FireWire at 24-bit,
96kHz resolution. Alternatively, 16 channels can be simultaneously recorded straight to a USB hard drive or memory stick at up to 24-bit 48kHz resolution as a .wav file.
And another thing: The unit is expandable, so users can link units together and synchronise recording of many channels.

The H6 can be attached to a camera strap or mounted directly to a DSLR or camcorder, and its large full-colour display makes it easy to view recording and playback levels.
And another thing: The H6 records directly to SD, SDHC and SDXC cards up to 128 gigabytes in a variety of MP3 and BWF-compliant WAV file formats, including 24-bit/96kHz for high-definition audio.
