Weatherproof, the MKH shotgun microphone 8018 offers flexibility to audio engineers, has three switchable stereo modes and integrates a attenuator -10 dB, with a frequency response of 40 a 20 000 Hz; characteristics indicated for radio broadcasting.

SoundBase: innovation in RF planning

Another novelty, with demo included, has been SoundBase, the first universal software wireless audio management so far on the market, that addresses the workflow challenges of RF managers and engineers to coordinate wireless microphones and monitors for a production.

Developed by audio industry veterans Matt Dale y Donny Kuser, the application Integrates with equipment from leading manufacturers, eliminating the need to switch between multiple applications, especially during critical moments of production. Optimize wireless coordination, centralizes communication and enables seamless remote collaboration.

Neumann y Merging en red

The Sennheiser space at this event had an area dedicated to Neumann which showcased its range of studio monitors with an immersive setup 7.1.4, as well as broadcast microphones BCM 104; capsule heads for wireless systems; miniature clip models MCM, TLM 102 y TLM 107, and other classic equipment of the brand.

Professionals have also been able to see in detail another historic piece of equipment from the brand.: he binaural head KU 100, that despite carrying 34 years on the market, continues to offer the easiest way to produce stunningly realistic immersive audio.

Added to this were desktop audio interfaces Merging Anubis y Neumann MT 48, which include OSC control functions, recently incorporated, to remotely control fader movements and other parameter changes using third-party hardware managers.

The cutting-edge reproduction system was also shown Ovation and the Merging show sequencer. The version 11, recently presented, It has an innovative design, with a refined and easier to use dark mode interface.

Updated and fully customizable mixer and renderer allow users to tailor buses, auxiliary strips and channels to any workflow, either for stereo formats, multi-zone or immersive.

Ambeo Two-Channel Spatial Audio

Delivering immersive audio experiences without segmenting the audience or complicating the signal chain remains a key challenge for live broadcasters.. The Spatial Audio Live Renderer Bring it on Two-channel solves this problem, since it facilitates a rreal-time immersive straightening of the content.

The two-channel output preserves the spatial depth and location cues, Optimized for playback on any stereo system, In addition to improving the voice intelligibility no decoding or additional hardware required.

Powered by proprietary immersive audio algorithms, Ambeo generates a signal compatible with downstream transmission, hardware independent, that preserves the creative intent and quality of the original mix.

During the contest, professionals have been able to learn about this technology integrated into a Merging Anubis device, offering low latency performance and seamless compatibility into existing live production workflows.
