Intercom Anywhere offers the ultimate flexibility with fast deployment and lower logistics and maintenance costs, allowing users access to the system where and when they need it.

According to Radial’s president, Peter Janis: “Several years ago, while chatting with Steve at the House of Blues in Vancouver, I suggested he should try one of our Radial JD7’s. Back then, Steve had gone through the process of testing a bunch of guitar signal splitters and was not impressed with the way they worked. He’d therefore pretty much written off the idea of finding an acceptable solution.”

 "A few months ago, while preparing for the Jimmy Hendrix tribute shows that he’d staged, his tech Greg Wurth suggested he try the Radial ToneBone Switchbone AB-Y as they were having problems with buzz & hum when switching between a couple of amps on stage. While testing, we also sent Steve a JD7 to play with and he was pleased with the results.”

When asked about the JD7, Steve had this to say: "The Radial JD7 Injector is by far the finest guitar signal distro and Reamper I have ever come across. In fact, it's the only one I have ever used that works cleanly with no hum or loading to the original signal. It has become an indispensable studio tool for me."

The Radial JD7 has in fact become something of a standard studio fixture for recording studios that specialise in tracking guitars. The fact that it can drive as many as 7 amps simultaneously and then be used for Reamping makes it a very convenient & powerful tool.

The critical advantage is the combination of Radial's award-winning Class-A circuit design, Drag Control™ load correction and of course, the liberal use of top-of-the-line Jensen transformers. This faithfully reproduces the guitar signal without loading the pickup and sends it along to the amps with absolute purity.

Other top artists that use the Radial JD7 include John Petrucci, Steve Lukather, Neil Schon, Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy, Steve Rotherby, George Lynch, Metallica and Aerosmith.

DPA’s new Reference Standard microphones, specified by sound designer Mick Potter and supplied by Amber Technology to Melbourne production company System Sound, are being used on the Australian production of Love Never Dies, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-awaited sequel to The Phantom of the Opera.

Love Never Dies continues the story of the Phantom, moving from Paris to Phantasma, a fabulous, early 20th century showground in Coney Island, New York - home to freaks and entertainers. It opened in late May at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne.

The 21-piece orchestra is miked with a selection of DPA mics including the new 4011A and 4011C cardioid mics from DPA’s new Reference Standard series, plus 4007 omnis across brass, woodwind & percussion. For the string section, Potter has chosen a combination of 4011As and 4011Cs as ambient mics and 4061 omni miniatures for close miking, with a 4099B instrument clip mic used on double bass.  
 
All 36 cast members are miked with DPA 4061 miniatures, with the principals wearing two each with dual transmitters and receivers.
 
“The orchestra sound is amazing and the overall sound of the show is very impressive,” says sound supervisor Shelly Lee. “I’m particularly impressed with the cello and bass sound as these instruments can be the most challenging to amplify. I would choose to use DPA microphones whenever possible.”
 
According to Amber's Leon Hart, DPA’s new modular series was chosen over the previous models due to their new pricing structure and improved performance. “DPA’s Reference Standard microphones not only offer the convenience of modular capsules and microphone preamps at a new price point, but the new design sees changes such as an increase in dynamic range to 120dB and improved RF rejection.” he says.
 
Since its 1986 debut at London's Her Majesty's Theatre, where it continues to play with a new sound design by Potter which also includes a cast and orchestra exclusively equipped with DPA microphones, The Phantom of the Opera has been seen in more than 25 countries and by more than 100 million people.

The design begins with an adjustable tube clamp that allows the ShowPad 2 to fit on all common microphone sands and boom attachments. A ball joint connects the iPad 2 cradle allowing the iPad to be angled for optimal viewing and rotated for landscape or portrait modes. The custom contoured cradle snugly fits the iPad and is equipped with two spring loaded clasps that make mounting easy. This also makes it quick to take your iPad off stage between sets where it can be safeguarded.

With hundreds of thousands of applications, the iPad 2 has become the go-to interface for all kinds of music and performance programs. The ShowPad 2 lets you take full advantage of the this technological marvel by bringing it with you on stage.

RRP $69.00 inc GST. So let the show begin!

According to Primacoustic Product Specialist Jay Porter: "It just made sense to expand our line of room kits. The London 12™ is a great success. It offers the user a complete package of professional grade acoustical treatment that looks great, works great and is economical. Our next logical step was to develop kits that could accommodate smaller rooms and specialty applications.”

The new London 8 is the perfect ‘starter’ kit. It includes all the fundamental tools required to treat a home recording studio for minimal cost. This kit will vastly improve the acoustics in a room and more Primacoustic panels can always be added at a later date as needs expand.

The London 10 takes recording to the next level by increasing the panel count for more control and adapts to larger spaces. This room kit is ideal for treating a project studio, gaming audio facility or post production suite.

All Primacoustic Broadway panels are made from premium 6lb glass wool. Edges are resin treated and the surfaces are encapsulated in micromesh. The panels are then covered in a durable acoustic fabric and offered in choice of three colors. Broadway panels are further tested to meet stringent class-1/A requirements for safe use in commercial buildings. Each London kit comes complete with hanging hardware, screws and wall anchors.

London room kits take the guess work out of acoustical room treatment and are super easy to install!

Developed & manufactured in the UK, the new design retains that familiar Vector feel whilst incorporating a range of features which address the pressures of today's fast paced and cost conscious production environments, without compromising any aspect of camera control.

Ideal for both Studio and OB applications, the cost-effective Vector 75 offers a greater 75kg payload capacity together with even stronger, more durable components. It has the same LF Drag control that helped make its predecessor an industry standard - an infinitely adjustable lubricated friction system, allowing for fine adjustment of drag levels as well as whip pan at any level of drag.

The Vector 75 also includes Vinten’s infinitely adjustable Perfect Balance, which is easily adjustable, with no time-consuming cam changes and provides up to ±60° of perfectly balanced tilt range. Other features include an illuminated levelling bubble, T-Bar slide plate positioner for controlled fore & aft camera adjustment and standard prompter bar mountings in the wedge adaptor.

For the past 2 years, Broadcast and Pro Audio engineers have been moving away from peak level normalization and towards new, loudness-based solutions. In April 2011, another important step was taken when ITU-R upgraded its BS.1770 standard to BS.1770-2.

The first version of BS.1770 focused on ambiguous speech detection, which can have unexpected consequences when trying to control the level of commercials or programs of certain genres. The improved 1770-2 recommendation incorporates a clever relative gate, making the measurement well-defined and practical to use across genres. It is also now relevant for controlling the level of promos and commercials.

In addition, the new version is completely open-standard - a result of  TC Electronic donating core technology to EBU, where it was refined by PLOUD and then brought back into the revised ITU standard.

Now, TC Electronic has updated their Radar Loudness Meters in the System 6000 MkII (V5.11), DB4 MkI & MkII (V3.20), DB8 MkI & MkII (V3.20), LM2 (V1.11), TM7 & TM9 TouchMonitors (V1.14) and LM5D for ProTools HD (V2) to comply with BS.1770-2.

Besides BS.1770-2 measurement compatibility, these systems also feature dedicated EBU R128, TR-B32 and ATSC A/85 metering presets.

Currently, smooth and BS.1770-2 compliant loudness correction is available with TC's DB4, DB8, DB4 MkII & DB8 MkII and their DB2 will get the capability within the coming few months.

So with BS.1770-2 compliance, loudness is always on the level!

The DPA family of high-end microphone capsules is the premium choice of leading audio engineers around the world. The new Reference Standard Microphones include the DPA sonic signature in every capsule whilst offering a choice of new state-of-the-art preamplifiers.

Any Reference Standard capsule can be transformed into a new configuration by combining it with any of the  3 new preamps - all with utter signal integrity, noise elimination and even tighter specifications.

Measure these new DPA microphones by any standard you please - future-proof flexibility has never sounded this good!

4000 Series

The Reference Standard 4000 Series builds and improves on DPA’s Compact & Standard 4006, 4011, 4015 & 4017 mics, making a wide selection of capsules available at different price points and performance demands. Three brand new preamplifiers feature several enhancements compared to previous designs:

• The MMP-A  ultra-transparent transformerless preamp with active drive for impedance balancing.
• The MMP-B  preamp with low cut and high boost filters.
• The 45mm compact MMP-C preamp with a softer character.

The range’s modular design allows any microphone within the series to be transformed into a new variant. In addition, owning several capsules will be more cost effective than the expense of purchasing complete mics. As with all DPA products, the entire manufacturing process takes place at the company’s purpose-built factory in Denmark.

2000 Series

Also new to the range are pioneering new Twin Diaphragm Capsules which form the Reference Stand 2000 Series and bring the cost DPA quality within reach of a much wider audience.

The MMC2006 omni and MMC2011 cardioid capsules are rooted in the design technology of DPA’s classic miniature capsules. The 2006 encapsulates two opposite-facing 4060 omnidirectional miniature diaphragms to form a single-capsule, dual-diaphragm design, reducing noise and enhancing sensitivity. The 2011 also benefits from DPAs interference tube design experience. These models reflect the sound qualities of DPA’s classic 4006 omni and 4011 cardioid microphones but at a significantly lower price point.

Reference Standard Accessories

Innovative accessories increase versatility and allow for future upgrades or new applications. For example, a ground-breaking new DPA cable accessory features a super-slim XLR connector that adds extremely little length and forms an elegant spot microphone for suspension on a TV set or a live stage. A modular, carbon fibre stereo mounting bar is equipped with Rycote® Lyres™ to position mics stably at the desired angle for any stereo recording. This mounting device can also be screwed into a gooseneck for mounting inside a piano, or connected directly to a camera stand. Adjustable and modular, this innovative new mounting device is as flexible as the mic range itself.

“We never thought it would be possible to obtain such quality at this price, but with the 2000 Series we have managed to create a range with the exceptional sound quality people associate with DPA," said company co-founder Morten Stove. “Our miniatures have been used for years for instruments and concert recordings, and we have taken them a step further, refining them and building them into regular microphones. A big advantage is the fact that you can start out with the capsules from the 2000 series and then later upgrade to the 4000 series, as the preamps are the same. Once again our development team has done a great job.”

Major Reference Standard  Features:

• Cardioid and Wide Cardioid capsules can now handle 139 dB(A) before reaching 1% THD; the max SPL handling is increased to 159 dB (A) when using the MMP-A preamp and 152 dB for the MMP-C compact preamp respectively.
• The 4006 Omni now handles 4dB more SPL before reaching 1% THD; max SPL handling is increased to 147 dB for the MMP-A preamp and 140 dB for the MMP-C preamp. The dynamic range is an impressive 121 dB – ready for 24 bit HD resolution.
• CMRR (RF rejection) has been improved to >60 dB, >50 dB and >40 dB for amplifiers MMP-A, MMP-B and MMP-C respectively. Adding a transformer to the circuit could have increased this further, but for sound quality reasons it was decided to choose Impedance Balancing with Active Drive technology.

The Reference Standard mics take DPA’s Standard and Compact ranges a step further, building on the company’s reputation for clear, transparent and precise sound and improving on the classic mics known and loved the world over. The new range offers increased flexibility, sound quality and cost-effectiveness - so the best has definitely just gotten better!

According to Radial’s president, Peter Janis: “The H-Amp is one of those products that had unfortunately been 'backburnered' pending completion of other projects. Several of our professional touring customers have been waiting on this product release. They can see the merit of being able to take a speaker feed and quickly convert it so that it can feed a headphone. Well the wait is over..."

The H-Amp is a rugged device equipped with two Neutrik Speakon connectors. One of these can take the output from a monitor wedge or side fill and automatically convert the high level loudspeaker signal to a mono feed for headphones. The second Speakon provides a throughput to feed additional H-Amps for studio use or on concert stages where multiple members of an orchestra may need a headphone feed.

The H-Amp also features dual outputs to enable two musicians to share the same feed. Each output is equipped with a separate level control and a 3-band filter set can be inserted into one of the headphone outs to tailor the signal for different types of headphones.

Like all Radial products, the H-Amp is designed to endure the abuse of professional touring. 14 gauge steel construction throughout provides excellent shielding and Radial’s I-Beam internal frame ensures the PCB assembly remains stress free. The innovative “book-end” casing design provides a protective barrier around the switches, controls & connectors further lengthening lifespan whilst a full non-slip base pad provides both mechanical isolation and electrical insulation.

Solid State Logic, the world’s leading manufacturer of professional digital & analogue consoles, chose the recent Frankfurt Musikmesse exhibition to launch their new X-Panda, a versatile 24-channel compact SuperAnalogue™ mixer.

Building on the success of their highly-acclaimed X-Desk, the X-Panda is a new small- format analogue mixer aimed at project studio owners and packs typically pristine SSL audio quality and a versatile feature set into its remarkably compact frame.

As a standalone product, X-Panda serves as a high quality, 24-input mixer that can be used for tracking (in conjunction with external mic pres) or master mix summing.

In conjunction with an SSL X-Desk, X-Panda introduces 24 additional channels, which via the ‘X-Desk Link’ connection, feed directly into the X-Desk Master Buss, Cue and Aux Send/Return system. In conjunction with an X-Rack summing system (fitted with Master Module), X-Panda adds faders and additional inputs to create an extremely versatile mixer.

The new X-Panda can also be used with any other mixer to expand available channel count.

X-Panda provides 8 x Mono channels (each with Main & Alt inputs for a total of 16 x Mono inputs) plus 4 x Stereo channels to deliver a total of 24 channels at mixdown.

All channels feature an input Level Trim with centre detent at Unity Gain, tri-colour signal indicator LED’s, Phase Invert, Insert and a Direct Channel Output (which can be switched post fader). Each channel also has a Stereo Cue section with dedicated Level & Pan controls. When tracking, this is traditionally used to create a monitor feed to the Stereo Cue Buss Output but on mono channels, Alt buttons flip the Stereo Cue section controls to adjusting the Alt input Level & Pan for mixdown.

Each channel features independent FX1 and FX2 send level controls (globally switched Pre/Post fader), self-illuminated heavy duty Solo & Cut buttons, Pan/Balance controls and precision 100mm faders to complete the channel strip.

The X-Panda also features a Stereo Mix Buss, Stereo Cue Buss and Solo Buss. When linked to an X-Desk, the X-Panda’s Mix Buss & Stereo Cue Buss feed into the respective Busses on the X-Desk. The Solo systems are also linked so that soloing any channel mutes all other channels on all linked units. Similarly, when an X-Panda is linked to an X-Desk (with Master Module fitted) the Mix, Cue & Solo Busses are also Linked.

It’s possible to cascade up to eight X-Desk and X-Panda units using the ‘X-Desk Link’ system, enabling very high channel count systems to be configured.

When used as a standalone unit, the X-Panda’s main Mix Buss and FX Busses are set to sum at unity gain enabling it to act as a summing mixer without the need for Master Level controls.

Key Features:

• Highly versatile compact analogue mixer with SSL SuperAnalogue™ benchmark audio quality.
• 24-Channel expander for SSL’s X-Desk or any other analogue mixer.
• Adds long throw 100mm faders and 24 Channel Inputs to an SSL X-Rack summing system.
• Stand-alone 24 input summing mixer.
• 8 x Mono fader channels with Main & Alt inputs for a total of 16 x Mono inputs.
• 4 x Stereo fader channels with Stereo Inserts & Stereo Direct Outputs.
• Stereo Cue plus FX1 & FX2 mono Aux Send controls.
• Heavy duty, self-illuminated Solo/Cut switches.
• Compact desktop design with removable 19” rack ears.
• Rear panel connections via DB25 D-Sub.

Now TC engineers have further refined and expanded these already hugely successful designs. The new MkII versions conform to the latest EBU, ATSC & ITU Loudness and True-peak level standards across all platforms and all formats. Plus the broadcast world's highest resolution, lowest latency and lowest distortion performance comes standard with the DB4 & DB8 MkII.

The original DB4 & DB8 were already the world's most popular broadcast processors. Now with the new MKII versions, TC have packed in simply more of everything:

More Metering

The MKII versions feature EBU R128 & ATSC A/85 compliant new LM6 Loudness Meters, new SNMP functions and you can always ‘go back in time’, reviewing one full week of detailed logging, even without connection to a computer. In DB4 MKII, the LM6 meter is always available in addition to its two multi-channel audio processors.

More Redundancy

With several thousand units operating constantly all over the world, there is plenty of proof that the original DB4 & DB8 processors rarely fail. On the other hand, live broadcasting always calls for the ultimate level of ‘operational safety’, so TC have ensured  that the DB4 & DB8 MKII will never be without power. Owners get the same power supply as the original units - but now there are two of them. There are also double the fuses, mains inlets and even the Swiss-made Papst fans. If one of the power supplies should fail, the other will take over instantly, and the power supplies can even be fed from independent power sources.

More Compatibility

TC's DB2, DB4 and DB8 processors are famous for their preset compatibility, allowing installations of any size to use the same settings. DB4 MKII and DB8 MKII are just as user-friendly and you can run any preset from the original DB4 and DB8 units straight out of the box.

More Trickle-Down

DB4 and DB8 processors have a record of introducing novel solutions that facilitate multi-platform broadcast ("Trickle-Down processing") from one, low latency frame. The MKII's continue on the same path with generous new functions that work regardless if metadata has been correctly set upstream or not.

Mastering Quality

Synchronous 48 kHz sampling and 48 bit processing throughout, in combination with massive jitter rejection, ensures high audio resolution and perfect timing, even if you have long transmission lines feeding a processor. In fact, you could cascade hundreds of DB processors without degrading the sound as much as a single pass through HDTV data reduction.

SSL C-PLAY  Embeds Professional Audio Playout System Into C10 HD and     C100 HDS Digital Consoles

Delivers Significant Advantages & Removes Need For Dedicated Playout Systems

Solid State Logic, the world’s leading manufacturer of professional digital & analogue mixing consoles, has announced yet another industry first with their new C-Play Audio Playout System for C100 HDS and C10 HD Digital Broadcast Consoles.

Demonstrating that SSL continues to lead the way with broadcast audio products that deliver streamlined workflow and outstanding value, the new C-Play embeds a fully functional spot and music playout system into their digital broadcast console range.

“Audio file playout systems for spots and music are an essential part of everyday broadcast operations. Until now, broadcasters have been faced with sourcing expensive dedicated playout systems and preparing console project and playout systems individually,” said Piers Plaskitt, CEO of SSL Inc. “SSL’s new C-Play system offers the broadcaster sophisticated playout functionality with the significant additional ergonomic and workflow advantages of an embedded system.”

The C-Play system is embedded into the SSL C100 HDS and C10 HD console control surface, delivering superior ergonomics for the operator, integrated recall of Playlists with console projects and a competitive price benefit.

C-Play combines ‘Player,’ ‘Cut’ and ‘Playlist’ functions in a simple, streamlined system. The C-Play user interface features all of the familiar playout controls users will expect and is operated from the console’s central touch screen. Playback triggers can also be assigned to console faders or buttons or external control systems. Audio files are stored in a shared network location, enabling import from an external craft editor. A comprehensive cut system sets individual file playback properties without altering the audio source file and offers complete control over Start, Stop, Loop, Fade, etc. A sequence of cuts can be assembled into fully featured ‘playlists’ for instant recall and manual or automated playback.
C-Play completely integrates an essential studio process into the audio console, eliminating a requirement for dedicated hardware and significantly streamlining operator preparation for on-air sessions.

C-Play will be available as part of a C10 HD V3 and C100 HDS V4 Software Upgrade scheduled for release from July 2011.

The HDMI inputs on Onkyo A/V receivers let you simultaneously connect high-def sources such as a Blu-ray player, a gaming console, and a cable/satellite tuner. A pristine video signal can then be output to a connected high-resolution display. As implemented by Onkyo, HDMI 1.4a also enables 3D video and an Audio Return Channel. 3D video is the next big thing in home entertainment, with 3D-compatible TVs and 3D-related movie, game, and broadcast content on the increase*. The Audio Return Channel, meanwhile, allows audio content received directly by your HDTV’s tuner to be sent “upstream” to a connected A/V receiver, without the need for a separate S/PDIF audio cable.

*In the official specification for HDMI 1.4a, “Side-By-Side (Half)” and “Top-and-Bottom” were added as mandatory formats for 3D broadcast content.

Cool Components products help vent and circulate air, thus protecting individual components and entire systems.  When several audio / video components are installed in close proximity of one another, especially inside a cabinet or enclosure, overheating can cause the system to shut down or worse, fail all together. Heat can also slowly damage the components shortening the life of the equipment - in some cases, very significantly decreasing the life of the equipment.  Examples of heat damage on components includes dry joints and ‘thermal runaway’, it can also cause board layers to separate, and capacitors to dry out.  

With the incredibly diverse range of Cool Components products, there’s a cooling solution for an endless list of applications.

• Cooling Units – Single fan and Dual fan units designed specifically to spot cool components;

• Four-fan and “Fully Loaded” units rack-mounted or stacked between components are engineered to quietly and aggressively cool full-sized units such as amps and receivers;  

• Rack-mounted 1RU 9-Fan Component Cooler, 1RU and 2RU specially manufactured Universal Cooling Systems and “Cool Shelves” in both 2RU and 3RU for cooling in rack applications; 

• Cabinet venting systems to directly and efficiently vent challenging cabinetry applications;

• Ventilation systems to circulate air where warmer air accumulates to another area;

• Complete 19RU and 40RU racks featuring integrated active venting systems which require no additional space in the rack;

• Game console coolers for Xbox, Playstation 3 and Wii designed to be attached directly to, and powered by, the console.

Rising Sun Pictures has a vast portfolio including the Harry Potter series, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Australia and Superman Returns to name but a few.

Rising Sun Pictures’ DI Colourist, Alex Meddick, who has worked on a number of high profile features including the Harry Potter series, used Nucoda Film Master’s standard toolset to grade the majority of Red Dog. The comprehensive grading tools were used to achieve the appropriate look set up by Director (Kriv Stenders) and Cinematographer (Geoffrey Hall).

Michael Taylor, Rising Sun Pictures’ CEO, explains, “When we installed our Nucoda Film Master DI grading suite including Nucoda Compose we invested a significant amount of R&D to set up the technical aspects of the pipeline including identifying all new formats of delivery and acquisition as well digital cinema deliverables. This ensures the best image quality from start to finish by understanding the nature of the images acquired.”

Red Dog, was directed by Kriv Stenders and shot entirely in Australia. Daniel Taplitz adapted the Louis de Bernières (Captain Corelli's Mandolin) RED DOG novel. The film is produced by Woss Group Film Productions and distributed by Roadshow Films. The plot is based on the Australian legendary true story of the Red Dog who united a disparate local community while roaming the Australian outback in search of his long lost master.

Meddick has also recently used Nucoda Film Master to grade The Dragon Pearl, a film shot entirely in China under the new Australia-Chinese co-production treaty. It is a Mario Andreacchio film produced by AMPCO Films and Hengdian World Studios. It tells the story of a young boy, John (Louis Corbett) who travels to China to visit his father, Dr Chase (Sam Neill) on an archaeological dig and inadvertently discovers a real-life Chinese dragon.

Taylor concludes, “Prior to installing the Nucoda Film Master we didn’t have a real-time grading solution in a full 4k-capable cinema. This allows an entire film to be acquired, finished and viewed in a cinematic environment with 7.1 surround sound. The system has a full feature set with an extensive physical control service to allow efficient and dynamic workflows to be built with filmmakers. We’ve also tested Nucoda Film Master’s Open EXR functionality for use within our VFX pipeline. The benefits are a higher dynamic range in the image and the ability to avoid the need to reprocess images by using our native internal linear to light colour space. This shows great potential and we look forward to seeing how it develops with the aim to use it in the grading/DI pipeline.”

Ambertech Limited has announced that it had entered into an agreement to lease a new facility in Warriewood to house the company’s head office for 10 years.

Ambertech Managing Director Peter Amos said the relocation was an ideal opportunity for Ambertech to consolidate multiple business units under one roof which will assist in cross selling across Ambertech’s diverse brands, and to improve logistics management with modern building design.

“We have been at our Frenchs Forest location for more than 23 years and have now outgrown the location. Warriewood has emerged in recent years as a commercial and industrial hub, and we believe this gives us great scope for future expansion of the business.” Mr Amos said.

At this stage, building completion is expected to be early in 2012.

Exclusive, limited edition modification takes two of TC’s most acclaimed guitar systems to new levels of sonic purity.

In the northern part of Italy, a tech wizard carries out modifications and designs complete effects systems for some of Europe’s best guitar players based on TC Electronic guitar processors. His name is Massimo Mantovani, and one of his most popular mods is an input buffer tweak for TC’s G-System & Nova Delay.

Now, the design team at TC has joined forces with Mantovani to develop the ultimate input buffer modification. The result is an exclusive, limited edition production run of iB Modified  versions of both the G-System and Nova Delay.

Both of these systems offer exactly the same ultimate versatility & musicality as the originals but subtle changes to the analogue input design and several other components have delivered a super-transparent tone that offers loads of punch and an incredibly “snappy” response. In short, iB Modified has taken both these systems a step beyond perfection!

Both the new systems are good lookers, too. The G-System iB Modified  comes in a mean-looking black finish that’ll cause heads to turn on any stage while the bright red Nova Delay iB Modified  will add both class & style (as well as superior delay processing) to any pedal board!

From classic power metal over ultra-tight thrash riffs to a complete riot of unleashed power, this pedal is your ultimate one-stop station for all things heavy!

Röttweiler Distortion goes the extra mile and delivers an unparalleled sound that will inspire you to be shredding and riffing for days. In fact, Röttweiler Distortion has been designed specifically to capture the tone and true feel of raw power that only a high-gain tube amp used to be able to deliver.

The TC Röttweiler features an all-analogue design with a unique distortion circuit based on soft clipping – just like real tube amps – which gives you an extremely authentic response and tone. Now, you can get that bone-crushing sound through virtually any amp by hooking up a Röttweiler Distortion.

The Röttweiler is voiced to burn through any mix. A classic stompbox problem in this hardcore setting is a tendency to get ‘lost in the mix’. Typically, these pedals sound great on their own, but once your band starts playing, they become less convincing. This is not the case with Röttweiler Distortion: it's been designed with live performances in mind, not just for home practice!

The idea behind the technology is as simple as it is ingenious: Each TonePrint has been converted to a unique-sounding magnetic impulse that you can beam via your smartphone's internal speaker, through the pickup of your guitar and directly to your TonePrint pedal!

The sound doesn't carry any data so it doesn’t matter if you are in a noisy arena or a library – no other sounds will interfere with the data being sent from your smartphone. 

How It Works
The app contains all TonePrints which means that you don’t need an internet connection to beam TonePrints. Simply place the smartphone’s speaker close to a magnetic guitar pickup when beaming, and it literally only takes seconds for the app to perform its magic. Best of all, the TonePrint app is completely free of charge.

Neutrik’s latest offering, the NP2RX timbrePLUG, is sure to further reinforce the company’s reputation for innovation and precision engineering.

The Neutrik timbrePLUG is a ¼″ jack plug that has been developed for performing musicians – and the idea behind it as brilliant as it is simple. Neutrik’s engineers recognised that an electric guitar’s sound is not only influenced by the instrument itself (pickups, strings, timber etc) but also by the choice of connection cable and amplifier. Different types and lengths of instrument cable can noticeably influence a guitar’s characteristic sound. Fitting the timbrePLUG to the instrument end of the cable allows musicians to adjust the ‘timbre’ of their guitar sound from a neutral, clear sound to warm characteristics in four steps by simply turning a knob on the top of the plug.

As with all the Neutrik products, the timbrePLUG has been designed to withstand the rigours of the most demanding live performances with a slim right-angle design, chuck-type strain relief and a robust all-metal construction with machined one-piece contacts.

Remote Recorders, a high-end mixing facility based in Sydney, has recently stepped up its control room with a new Solid State Logic C200 HD Digital Production Console.

The studio, which features a large, well-equipped control room with associated overdub/vocal booth, mixes live presentations for content providers including iTunes Australia, Abbey Road Studios’ Abbey Road Live Here Now, and music television channels such as Channel [V], Music Max and the Country Music Channel. The C200 allows the studio to handle all post production duties, while delivering a digital version of SSL’s industry standard ergonomic interface.

“Remote Recorders is one of Australia's foremost specialists in live music audio production and post-production for radio, television, DVD and instant delivery,”  commented Cameron McCauley, director of Remote Recorders. “We had a very successful run over the years with an SSL 4000 series console, but the time had come where we needed to move into a digital console with more capacity. The C200 gives us the digital console version of Total Recall™ so recalling the settings of a project is very fast. We have the familiar SSL automation and channel layout our engineers have been used to with the 4000, plus we continue to be able to offer SSL’s sonic heritage to our clients. As a bonus, we have a console we can easily upgrade and expand at a later date. The C200 covers all bases for what we do.”

Remote Recorders has worked with a raft of top acts including everyone from Kanye West, Coldplay, Mia and Muse to The Pixies, Chemical Brothers, Moby, Iggy Pop and Blondie, to name a few. Some other recent projects include live DVD’s for the Powderfinger “Sunsets” tour and the ARIA iTunes countdown for Live Nation.

“The integrated features on the C200 are a lifesaver in terms of workflow efficiency,”  states McCauley. “We can control our DAW from the desk and offer multiple 5.1 and stereo mixes to our clients. In every way, the C200 helps us to accomplish more in less time, while maintaining the highest quality levels, allowing us to participate in services like instant delivery.”

TC Electronic introduced polyphonic tuning to the world and since then, guitarists everywhere have welcomed this next-generation way of tuning with open arms. The new PolyTune® Mini  is the world’s smallest polyphonic tuner and it will fit on any pedal board.

PolyTune Mini shows you the tuning state of all strings simultaneously by simply strumming your guitar, allowing you to get back to playing in a matter of seconds. And the PolyTune Mini is among the most precise tuners in the world, tuning with +/- 0.5 cent precision in chromatic mode and +/- 1 cent accuracy in polyphonic mode. It also automatically switches between Chromatic and Polyphonic modes depending on whether you strum all strings at once or pick each string individually.

If that's not enough, PolyTune Mini features Drop-D and Capo modes as well as True Bypass  for zero tone coloration and a super-bright LED display.

PolyTune Mini – Tiny Meets Awesome

Tuning used to be a necessary evil. The last barrier before you could get truly rocking. But now, tuning is ready to get blasted into the 21st century with PolyTune Mini – a downright tuning miracle! The original PolyTune was the world's first polyphonic tuner - a multiple patents pending, game-changing total tuning turnaround that will have future guitarists wondering how we ever got by without it.

We can't make tuning fun. But we can sure make it a whole lot easier.

TC wants to do their part for the guitar community and truly innovate the life of guitarists. And with PolyTune Mini's extraordinary features and cutting-edge technology, TC believes they've accomplished just that. The TC team are passionate guitarists themselves and work every single day to make all our lives easier and more rocking. They did it for multi-effects with the TC G-Force, G-Major2, Nova System & G-System. They did it for stomp boxes with the Nova series , and now PolyTune is here to give tuning a much needed kick in the A440!

Bass TonePrints are highly personal & unique sounding tones for TC's 5 TonePrint Enabled effect pedals. These tones (or TonePrints) – have been created by some of the best bass players alive.

What’s essential to notice is that these TonePrints are not just presets based on how the TonePrint artists dial in the knobs positions. When designing Bass TonePrints, the artists get access to powerful software that allows them to adjust every effect parameter imaginable – not just the ones represented by physical knobs. In a way, you get an artist signature pedal when loading a Bass TonePrint – but with the ultimate power to change the name of the signature at any time you wish!

Beam Away!

All of these amazing Bass TonePrints are completely free and can be downloaded from the TC website and transferred via USB to the pedals.

But there is a much easier and cooler way… TC has developed an app for smartphones that allows you to beam any TonePrint directly to your pedals by simply holding the speaker of your smartphone over the pickup of your bass. Magically, the TonePrint is being transferred as magnetic impulses going through your magnetic pickups via your cable and directly to the pedal. It literally only takes seconds and is the coolest way you’ll ever tweak your effect pedals!

Named to reflect its stunningly accurate audio definition and natural sonic characteristics, DPA's d:fine™ single-ear headset microphone set a new performance standard when it was released late last year. Now DPA engineers have developed an enhanced dual-ear version of the already acclaimed d:fine™ headset system.

Designed to meet the needs of the most active live theatre, music video production & concert sound productions, the d:fine series dual-ear headset mic is ready to take on the most rigorous & energetic performance applications, whilst delivering the world-class sound quality expected of a DPA microphone.

“When we first introduced the d:fine headset microphones series to the live sound market, it was embraced by the industry as a condenser headset that could provide exceptional sound quality in the most challenging acoustic environments with a wonderfully simple and secure single-ear mount,” said Jarrod Renaud, Sales & Marketing for DPA Microphones, Inc. “With our new dual-ear headset, which will fit everyone from a 10-year old performer to an adult musician, users can rely on d:fine to stay in place, bringing uninterrupted performance excitement to the audience for live sound and video projects that might include extreme dance and hip hop segments, for example.”

In a world that is increasingly video-oriented, from live action reality TV & theatre presentations to sporting events and bands producing videos for YouTube (and everything in between), the dual-ear headset for the d:fine headset microphone provides worry-free performance in the most exacting situations.

The precision d:fine capsule delivers pristine audio with a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz (± 2dB) and a peak handling capacity of 144 dB before clipping whilst the new dual-ear headset design ensures that the mics will stay in place. In addition, because the microphone isn’t hard-wired into the headset, the cable can be replaced easily and inexpensively.

“With the advent of the d:fine headset microphone, the serious band or performing group can now have an ultra-professional headworn microphone within reach to bring their performance to the next level.” continued Renaud. “With the new dual-ear headset option, the same performers can reliably add increased athletics and dance moves, assured the show or presentation will run smoothly.”

All DPA d:fine models are available beige, brown, black or lime colours with an ultra-low visibility profile.

Radial Engineering's new CUBE™  is a 500 Series desk-top power supply designed to house 3 of Radial's continuously expanding range of processing modules whilst remaining compatible with older Lunchbox™ devices.

Unlike other 500 Series enclosures that are usually rack mounted, the Cube™ is designed to conveniently sit on a desktop, be carried around the studio or be recessed into the work surface.

Two sets of flanges are supplied to either fully recess the Cube into the desktop or angle it at 30 degrees for optimal viewing.

For those who want to optimise signal-to-noise, a carry handle makes it easy to move the Cube around the studio to position instrument & microphone pre’s as close to the source as possible.

Dream Theater's John Petrucci was one of the first artists to join TC's revolutionary TonePrint concept. In total, John created 5 personal TonePrints in early 2011 – two for Corona Chorus, two for Shaker Vibrato and one for Vortex Flanger. John loved having access to all effect parameter so much that he instantly agreed to develop a signature pedal – one that was based on his own TonePrints. And so The Dreamscape was born....

Basically, John wanted to combine all of his TC TonePrints into a single pedal even though his original TonePrints are for three different pedals in the series. So his new signature Dreamscape pedal contains no less than three mind-blowing modulation effects that have been painstakingly tailored with an eye on even the tiniest detail by the master himself.

The intent is simple: smaller studios need to switch between various studio monitors and a sub woofer. There are many controllers on the market. But most are expensive or worse yet, they colour the sound of the audio signal.

The new Radial MC3 is a passive device that switches the signal without introducing any circuitry. The power connection is used to toggle the internal relays, turn on some LED's, sum the input to mono for the sub woofer and, of course, power up the headphones.

How do you use it? Easy… connect your source (recorder or computer audio output) to the stereo inputs. Then connect your two sets of monitors to outputs A and B. Usually, folks start by recording using smaller monitors and then test with bigger ones. The sub can also be turned on separately.

LM6 Radar Loudness Meter Plug-in Is Now Available

TC's compelling Radar Loudness Meter is now available as a native plug-in, supporting VST, AU, RTAS and AAX formats.

Their acclaimed radar display has proven an efficient solution when upgrading audio production for broadcast, film and music from unsatisfactory peak level indicators to loudness-based metering. With the introduction of the new LM6 Radar Loudness Meter plug-in, you can now benefit from having direct access to this revolutionary meter, which covers all mono, stereo and 5.1 productions, whether you prefer using Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Nuendo, Wavelab, Cubase, Sequoia, etc. on a Mac or PC.

The user interface of the LM6 plug-in is similar to TC radar meters for other platforms, for instance LM5D for Pro Tools HD, employing a fully synchronous, high-headroom design in order to also display true-peak warnings and true-peak bar graphs correctly. If you are already familiar with the radar, you will be able to move seamlessly between platforms.

LM6 conforms with all of the major broadcast standards based on Leq(K) – e.g. ITU BS.1770-2, ATSC A/85 and EBU R128 (August 2011 update) and will show you loudness history as well as momentary loudness and true-peak metering in a single, easy-to-read view.

The LM6 Radar Loudness Meter plug-in is available for DAW platforms supporting Audio Units, AAX, RTAS and VST plug-in formats. No additional hardware such as Pro Tools TDM or PowerCore is required – the only piece of hardware you need is an iLok 2 USB Key for holding the plug-in license. In fact, if you own an iLok 2 USB Key, you can try out the LM6 plug-in for 14 days free of charge.

Quite simply, with LM6 you gain access to the ultimate Loudness Meter, allowing you to deliver loudness-correct content and getting it right from the start!
