Audio Mixers

noreply@blogger.com (HAI:) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 06:12:00 +0000

Avid today introduced Digidesign VENUE SC48: a fully-integrated audio and processing live sound solution developed for small to mid-sized houses of worship, clubs, and corporate A/V companies, as well as touring customers.

VENUE SC48 combines I/O, digital signal processing and tactile control and offers built-in support for a number of professional audio plug-ins that provide more creative mixing options.

Building upon the company’s VENUE family of professional live sound systems, the VENUE SC48 system delivers the same sound quality and clarity customers around the world have come to expect from VENUE, in a compact footprint. The console introduces several new features designed to enhance and streamline the mixing process including:

• Professional Plug-In Support enables customers to install and use software plug-ins from Digidesign and a number of third party developers to easily and instantly re-create and recall an artist’s signature studio sound during a “live” performance.
• Direct Connection to Pro Tools LE makes it simple to record shows and perform Virtual Soundcheck: a timesaving process that enables customers to playback and mix tracks recorded from a previous performance using a computer connected via VENUE SC48’s built-in USB port.
• Channel Control allows easy access, display and adjustment to any channel parameter with the single click of a button. In addition, any eight parameters can be assigned to the color-coded framework for immediate access during the mix.
• Center Flex Channel provides immediate access to any key input, such as a lead vocalist’s microphone, without having to go through fader layers.
• VCA and Group Spill provides easy control and quick access to grouped channels within a mix by focusing the control surface layout to match the logical groupings created by VCA and Group style mixing.

“The sonic quality of the SC48 far surpasses any other digital desk I’ve mixed on and has really helped us improve our finished product,” said Eric Kibbe, audio manager and mixer of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. “Our services often change on the fly, and the size, flexibility and layout of SC48 enables me to work more quickly to address things in the mixes that were never before possible.”

All VENUE systems, including the VENUE SC48, Mix Rack, Profile and D-Show console, use the same VENUE D-Show software, allowing customers to easily transition show files between any system in the VENUE product line within a familiar interface.

.

And with VENUE D-Show 2.8.1 software – available in June to registered VENUE system owners for $149 USD via authorized dealers – customers can take advantage of several new workflow innovations, popular user-requested features and other enhancements to increase workflow and mixing efficiency across all VENUE systems.

“We realize that our wide spectrum of customers have different requirements. With the VENUE SC48, we’ve been able to advance our popular VENUE platform to meet the specific needs of customers in smaller to mid-sized applications, at an aggressive price point,” said Tex Schenkkan, Avid’s vice president and general manager, audio. “By expanding the current portfolio of the VENUE product family, the solution’s open plug-in architecture also enables our customers to integrate the console with industry-leading creative tools, enhancing the live sound experience.”

Pro Dual Drive CD recorder

noreply@blogger.com (HAI:) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 07:22:00 +0000

HHB CDR882

The HHB CDR882 is a dual drive CD recorder designed from the ground up for uncompromised professional performance. A genuine REC-REC drive configuration supports seamless extended recording time across two or more discs, simultaneous recording of two discs, and high speed duplication, equipping the CDR882 for a wide range of professional applications including broadcast, music production, live sound recording, houses of worship and duplication.
AUDIOPHILE CIRCUIT DESIGN FOR HIGH-END SONIC PERFORMANCE

The CDR882 features full 24-bit A/D and D/A converters and a highquality quartz crystal-derived internal clock. Unlike inferior CD recorders, the CDR882 uses noise-shaped dither onto CD (rather than simply truncating) to minimise quantisation error noise, while audiophile-grade analogue circuitry also plays a key role in ensuring superior sonic performance.
TOUGH, PROFESSIONAL BUILD QUALITY

The pursuit of excellence continues in the area of build quality, with the CDR882 weighing in at 6.7kg / 14.7lbs. High quality IDE CD-R drives are mounted in a massive steel chassis to ensure reliable, glitch-free recording, even in unfavourable environments including live concerts where ambient noise levels can be particularly high.
WIDESPREAD MEDIA COMPATIBILITY

The CDR882 is compatible with a huge range of CD-R media (including data discs), both low and high speed up to 52X, enabling high-speed duplication from one drive to the other at speeds limited only by the media being used.
COMPREHENSIVE FEATURE SET

A full complement of professional features equips the CDR882 for a wide variety of pro CD recording and replay applications. Track IDs may be manually created, or auto-generated from the digital input, audio level threshold or time period, both user definable. When recording seamlessly across two or more discs, track IDs are inserted when the next disc starts, and where the user-definable fade out and fade in start and finish. With an overlap between the two discs, the whole program can either be played back uninterrupted in the CDR882, or easily reconstructed in a DAW using the track IDs to precisely align the audio from the two or more discs. The CDR882 supports CD Text, and makes its own use of it to identify multi-disc recordings and the correct order. . The versatility of the CDR882 is enhanced further by the inclusion of Sync Record and Disc Copy modes, a Program mode to enable selective track record/replay, and Single/Clone modes to select recording to one or both drives.
HHB: WORLD LEADERS IN CD RECORDING TECHNOLOGY

HHB has successfully developed a number of professional CD recorders, with professional users relying daily on the HHB CDR800, HHB CDR850 and HHB CDR830 BurnIT in a variety of critical applications. In addition, HHB provides a range of CD-R media widely recognised as delivering consistently low block error rates, combined
CDR882 CONNECTIVITY

The CDR882 features comprehensive professional connectivity including balanced XLR analog I/O, unbalanced Phono/RCA analog I/O, balanced XLR AES/EBU digital I/O, coaxial and optical S/PDIF digital I/O, external word clock input, RS232 remote control and parallel control interface.
