TASCAM M-164UF analog mixer

TASCAM introduced its slick, miniature M-164UF analog mixer, featuring six mic inputs, EQ, and built-in meter bridge plus digital reverb, delay and chorus. The sister to the 164, the M-164UF is said to be the first compact mixer with built-in USB 2 to deliver all 16 outputs to a computer for live or studio recording (Mac/PC). Other features include 16-channel mixing, RIAA phono preamp on channels 9-10, sub and main output buses plus two aux sends.

Intended for broadcast applications, Yamaha’s MY8-SDI-D enables the input of HD-SDI embedded audio signals directly to a host Yamaha digital console or DME (Digital Mix Engine). It features one HD-SDI input with one HD-SDI-thru output and can replace the need for conventional converters used to directly feed Yamaha digital mixing products.

Monitoring
Genelec’s new 1038CF Tri-Amplified Active Monitoring System features a slim enclosure (only 9.25 inches deep!), dual long-throw 8-inch woofers, 5-inch midrange and 1-inch dome tweeter. The 1038CF features a limited bass response, with a -2.5 dB point at 57 Hz, as the focus is on mid/high performance.

JBL Professional’s LSR2300 series monitors offer the Linear Spatial Reference criteria of its award-winning LSR6300 and LSR4300 Series in more affordable systems. The new speakers come in 5-inch (LSR2325P) or 8-inch (LSR2328P) versions—plus, there is a matching 10-inch sub to take the system down to 28 Hz (LSR2310SP).

Studio Technologies StudioComm 76DB/77B Surround Monitoring System

The all-digital StudioComm 76DB/77B Surround Monitoring System from Studio Technologies offers simple, effective monitoring of 5.1 surround and stereo audio material. Comprised of a Model 76DB Central Controller and a Model 77B Control Console, the system is especially well suited for broadcast master control and post-production applications with digital-input loudspeakers.

Sonifex released the Reference Monitor, a single-rackspace audio monitor with Dolby decoding. The RM-4C8-HDE1 can decode a Dolby E or Dolby Digital audio stream, letting users visually monitor eight (or 5.1) audio channels and select any two for listening.

Beyerdynamic Headzone PRO XT

Beyerdynamic’s Headzone PRO XT is an updated version of the innovative Headzone portable surround sound mixing system. It uses current DSP technology to provide headphone-based 5.1 surround sound reproduction using a patented ultrasonic-headtracking system, which locates the orientation of the listener’s head with respect to the source material and adjusts the audio accordingly.

Roland showed the new RH-PM5 in-ear monitors. These sharp-looking buds are tuned for live stage and studio monitoring and are perfectly matched to use with the new RSS Personal Mixing System featuring M-48 Live Personal Mixers. The in-ears come with different types of ear adapters to fit a variety of ear canals.
