HHB Streamlines Surround Sound Production at BVE 2011

The HHB Stand C40 forms a focal point for broadcast audio at BVE. Celebrating

35 years in business and proud sponsors of the BVE Audio Room, HHB exhibits

alongside its Soho-based subsidiary Scrub, with experienced personnel on hand

to explain the latest developments in audio technology.

Whether in a live real-time environment or file-based post production

workflow, the requirement to produce multichannel audio formats while

ensuring a high quality stereo mix places considerable additional pressures

on technical and craft engineers. Thankfully, at BVE, HHB has brought

together the latest audio tools to make the engineer¹s life easier.

For loudness monitoring and correction, look no further than Dolby¹s new

DP568 which provides reference decoding of all Dolby transmission formats,

and TC Electronic¹s new TM9 touch-screen multi-channel meter and loudness

radar plus 1U LM2 loudness correction tool.

Hot on the heels of Avid¹s new Pro Tools 9 native hardware and software

comes Soundfield¹s UPM-1 stereo-to-5.1 upmix plug-in which enables stereo

files to be seamlessly blended with original surround sound during post

production.

In addition, HHB also has four new exciting products on hand from Wohler.

The groundbreaking AMP2-E16V-3G audio monitoring unit, a portable loudness

analyser called Pandora, Presto - an innovative 16-2 3G/HD/SD-SDI video

source selector and the MADI-8 MADI monitoring controller.

Speaking at BVE, HHB Director of Sales Martin O¹Donnell says, "Understanding

the real value a piece of technology can bring to any given audio

application is a key driver in our approach to recommending new hardware and

software. We want to ensure that our customers get the best return on their

investment".
