industry without acknowledging the changes it is currently facing due to legislation such as the US Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM) and the new technical standards recently set in the UK by the Digital Production Partnership (DPP). Yet beyond this hot topic, we also focus on a varying range of issues facing this ever-changing industry. Kevin Hilton looks past loudness and focuses on the future of
broadcast audio, using examples of some recent builds, both traditional studios and OB trucks, to see how technological changes such as networked connections and digital consoles are changing the way broadcasters work both in Europe and abroad. As an ex-BBC producer, Alistair McGhee has years of experience
recording sound in diverse conditions and locations and runs us through his list of must-have gear for the location recordist. Don’t know which field mixer will stand up to the most demanding situations? Curious about handheld recorders but unsure where to start? Alistair shares his years of wisdom and makes your choices that much easier. We’ve also included everything you need to know about loudness,
with expert advice from TC Electronic’s CTO for Broadcast and Production, Thomas Lund, and extensive information on a number of loudness tools. If you work in broadcast audio this is a publication tailored
specifically for you. From loudness to location recording, Broadcast Audio 2013 has you covered.
Broadcast Audio 2013 is a project developed by Audio Media - the magazine that focuses on the business of production and production technology for professional creative, operators, technicians, and engineers everywhere.
