WILL IAM PROVE A PLUS FOR AUDIO MONITORING? Wohler
CREATE & PRODUCE Technologies
BY DAVID FOX Wohler has released new and improved iAM-Audio Plus monitors in 1U and 2U form factors. The new iAM-Audio-1 Plus and Audio-2 Plus units add two 3G-SDI inputs on BNC and a looped output of the selected
SDI input, while retaining an SFP slot for additional SDI, 2110, or 2022 modules.
The unit depth has also been
reduced by 5cm to14cm, meeting all shallow-depth requirements. A fourth rotary encoder has been added to the front panel to further allow a mix of touch controls and mechanical controls for ease of use. While other functional aspects
remain the same, including the ability to license AES, MADI,
additional custom mix output routing and Dolby processing, the AoIP option card offers monitoring of either Dante or Ravenna and includes monitoring of 2110-30. Primary and secondary RJ45 Ethernet ports on the card enable hitless (redundant) 2022-7 monitoring. Also available is an analogue option card, offering a further eight balanced inputs and outputs on DB-25 connectors, as well as a Toslink (SPDIF)
