Prism Sound will use BVE
North to demonstrate SADiE 6, a new software-only version of its recording and editing system. SADiE 6 operates on Microsoft Windows computers as well as existing SADiE 5 hardware platforms. Prism Sound says this extended compatibility will help to reinforce the brand’s appeal to broad- casters and profes- sional users by giving location recordists, sound designers, audio editors and post-production engi- neers the tools they need for today’s audio recording and editing requirements. Also on show is the company’s SADiE LRX2 multi-track location recording workstation. Users can record up to 64 channels at 48kHz/24bit, or 32 channels at 96kHz/24bit, from a range of dedicated input cards including MADI and mic pre-amps. Prism Sound will complete its BVE North line-up with its dScope Series III audio analyser, the DSA-1 and the Orpheus Computer Fire- Wire Interface.
