delay are available on both the main and aux outputs, as well as eight DCA groups with mutes and eight mute groups. Four (TouchMix-8) or 10
(TouchMix-16) auxiliary output channels offer stage monitor mixing capability, with both models offering the ability to drive multiple, wired stereo in- ear monitors directly. RCF presented its new V-MAX series of fixed and portable loudspeaker solutions. The cabinets, which will begin shipping in the middle of the year, are made from birch with weather-resistant polyurea paint coating for heavy-duty applications. The solution features various RCF technologies such as RCF Precision Hyper-vented Woofers; high-power, low-distortion neo compression drivers; CMD Coverage Matching Design horns, which provide consistent horizontal and vertical pattern control through the usable frequency range; and RCF exclusive LICC Crossover Systems. Combined, these are said to fully optimise the high performance and offer long- term reliability. On its stand, Revolabs was debuting its Executive Elite four- and eight-channel wireless microphone systems. The systems use a new distributed architecture to connect the remote antenna receiver and base DSP unit via a Cat6 cable
with power over Ethernet. This enables the antenna to be placed in the same room as wireless microphones, vastly improving wireless connectivity. The new mics also feature improved signal-to-noise ratio, easy operation, and enhanced digital signal communication over wireless links.
A major launch for Sennheiser
was TeamConnect – an end-to- end meeting-room solution that is designed to make conference calls stress-free. The system, which caters for up to 16 on-site users, brings together speakers, mics, a central control unit and connectivity management. “We have made it easy to use a mobile device – your business smartphone, tablet or laptop – to control meetings,” said Wienand Mensendiek, manager portfolio and channel development at Sennheiser. “This level of flexibility, performance and simplicity can only come from an integrated system.” TeamConnect is available now. Televic Conference was showing the third generation of its Confidea Wireless Conference system, which is available from this month. The system incorporates a fully revised wireless engine and mobile- friendly web control. Deemed to be the most radical upgrade since the system was introduced in 2008, the new wireless upgrade means the Confidea can offer more wireless frequencies
SHOW REVIEW: ISE 2014 in various countries.
On the basic discussion-only
version, the number of buttons has been reduced drastically to minimise clutter and to create a more intuitive user interface. The more advanced units with voting functionality now come with a built-in RFID card reader for identification and authentication of the delegate. Two main products from the
new PAX Pro AV Group brand, Xavtel, were demonstrated: the Dialogo Series, which is a budget-priced high-end tabletop audio/video conferencing solution; and a fully digital and networked DSP solution for conferencing, voting and simultaneous translation, the Senator System. Based on Xavtel’s high-speed
redundant network technology, Senator enables up to 504 delegate units to be individually processed via a single DSP while still providing individual processing for each microphone. The patent-pending technology also incorporates a Voice Activated Gate, which uses voice recognition to activate a delegate’s microphone. Other features include on-board SIP3 VoIP telephone module and an optional wideband AEC card for teleconferencing. The systems offer Full HD audio and video over AVB or XAVNET on a single platform.

ISE 2014 and the drive for product improvement
The number of people with defective hearing is constantly rising. Therefore it has become more important to comply to the demands of the EC and the governments of various countries for overcoming barriers – also regarding the field of acoustics. Audiological systems are the
core of our AUDIOropa product range: FM and infrared transmission as well as loop systems for direct inductive input to hearing aids, cochlear implant systems and other assistive devices for people with affected sense of hearing. These systems can be used as standalone – but they can also serve to complement every audio system – stationary or mobile – for example when involved in conference- and event- technology, tour-guiding or also bidirectional in team-teaching applications. It is our motivation to make it possible for everybody in the

audience to understand the spoken word – no matter if they are users of hearing aids or CI systems or other hearing- impaired people not in possession of such equipment. It is not only a question of being able to participate in cultural or social life, but also regarding aspects of safety, for example when transmitting danger warnings in public spaces. At ISE 2014, we found that we encountered top-class suppliers
and users of audio technology who were looking exactly for that ‘extra’ for their systems – not only to be able to comply with the ever-increasing demand for inclusion of the hearing impaired. Therefore it is most important for us to make sure that our AUDIOropa systems are compatible with the equipment of all international standards.
