Nuvo Rattles the Rafters With New Family of 8-Inch Passive Subwoofers and Matching Digital Amplifiers Compact Units Combine Outstanding Bass Response With Powerful Convenience Features for Home Theaters and Audio Installations of Any Size EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — July 30, 2019 — Legrand today introduced a new family of Nuvo 8-inch in-ceiling and in-wall passive subwoofers and matching digital amplifiers. Optimized for small, medium, and large home theaters and audio installations, the three compact single and dual subwoofers deliver a powerful, low-frequency impact, while the wall- and rack-mount amplifiers are packed with convenience features for maximum versatility. For smaller installations, the NV-SUBIC8 in-ceiling subwoofer features a round magnetic grill — with an optional square grill available — and an infinite baffle design for maximum placement flexibility. The NV-SUBIW8 and NV-SUBIWDUAL8 in-wall single and dual subwoofers are designed for medium and large projects, respectively. Both units feature a sealed cabinet constructed of durable MDF for a distortion-free, superior bass experience. The NV-SUBIW8 offers a square magnetic grill, while the NV-SUBIWDUAL8's grill is rectangular. All three subwoofers are backed by a lifetime warranty. Up to two NV-SUBIC8, NV-SUBIW8, and NV-SUBIWDUAL8 subwoofers can be deployed with their matching amplifiers: the 100W NV-SUBAMP100-xx, 200W NV-SUBAMP200-xx, and 500W NV-SUBAMP500-xx, respectively. All three units feature signal-sensing power activation, unfiltered LFE/RCA stereo inputs for connecting to most modern receivers, and variable crossover and phase control to match subwoofer output with the main speakers for premium performance and sound. A three-position EQ switch allows amplifier output to be tailored to any Nuvo in-ceiling or in-wall passive subwoofer. The wall-mount NV-SUBAMP100-xx amplifier offers a convenient two-conductor connector to power an optional wireless receiver. The rack-mount NV-SUBAMP200-xx and NV-SUBAMP500-xx feature 12V DC trigger inputs and outputs, allowing them to control or be controlled by external devices. The NV-SUBAMP500-xx adds digital signal processing (DSP) for a variety of listening modes and an easy-to-navigate front screen. An IR input allows for simple use with control systems. "Designed to integrate seamlessly with almost any audio system, the new Nuvo subwoofers and amplifiers pack a big punch in space-saving, discrete designs," said Fritz Werder, vice president and general manager for Legrand | AV. "Delivering a stand-out bass response, the subwoofers bring a whole new dimension of detailed clarity to music and movies, while the amplifiers have all the performance and convenience features needed for an amazing system. Together, they make a powerful addition to audio installations of any size." Legrand's new family of Nuvo subwoofers and amplifiers is available now.

Spitfire Audio announces availability of ORBIS plug-in presented in eDNA engine as a horizon-expanding ‘world synth’ “Great film music often blends sounds from different cultures to create a rich tapestry; ORBIS lets you infuse your music with DNA from around the world — from incredibly useful, original recordings through to beautifully evolving textures.” - Paul Thompson, composer and Spitfire Audio co-founder LONDON, UK: Spitfire Audio is proud to announce availability of ORBIS — offered as a horizon-expanding ‘world synthesizer’ standalone plug-in, presented in the sound-specialising British music technology company’s sophisticated eDNA engine, enabling exceedingly creative access to 2,500 extraordinary sounds born out of organic performances treated and transported to new dimensions, designed for progressively-minded composers as a gargantuan creative compendium comprising distorted loops to evolving textures and visceral one-shots, subsonic low-end to ethereal pads, perfect for producing rich-sounding, panoramic scores from nature documentaries to sci-fi movies — as of July 18... Sometimes a score needs more than an orchestra. ORBIS reimagines the work of David Fanshawe (1942-2010), an English composer, sound explorer, and ethnomusicologist who travelled the globe to gather an archive of approximately 2,000 hours of music, documented for posterity at a time of great change. “The present is almost history; every day is worth recording.” So stated the man himself. However, ORBIS itself is so much more than a collection of organic field recordings; rather it includes 90% treated content, with over 200 presets, plus loops, textures, one-shots, and pads created by Spitfire Audio’s accomplished team of engineers in its own journey of sonic discovery, distilled — alongside clean recordings, rich in history, character, and emotion — in the sound-specialising British music technology company’s sophisticated eDNA engine to provide users with virtually endless parameters and possibilities for enhancing their own scores with the DNA of countless cultures from across the globe. Enduring and enthralling, David Fanshawe’s rarefied recordings have already made themselves heard in scores to major movies such as 1997’s Seven Years In Tibet (John Williams) and 2002’s Gangs Of New York (Howard Shore); now they are ready and able to empower anyone’s scoring sensibilities as an essential resource for producers, composers, or sound designers intent on seeking out new sounds — or even civilisations! After all, sounds are the fabric from which music is weaved. With that thought in mind, maybe it was inevitable that Spitfire Audio would creatively cross paths with the David Fanshawe World Music Archive. As such, ORBIS was effectively conceived back in January 2015, when widow Jane Fanshawe introduced Spitfire Audio co-founder and composer Paul Thomson to the global sonic explorer’s namesake legacy. “Listening to these extraordinarily vivid recordings is like looking through a window into a different time and place,” pronounces the clearly captivated listener. Literally placing them into a different time and space, Spitfire Audio subsequently handpicked thousands of extraordinary sounds from those extraordinarily vivid recordings, really resulting in a so-called ‘world synthesizer’ since ORBIS users are able to delve deeper into some of the most rare and distinctive sounds and loops on the planet, rich in history, character, and emotion encompassing a range of cultures and communities, many of which no longer exist; enhancing every sound still further with ORBIS’ own exploratory eDNA is inevitable. Imagine the eDNA engine as a set of two turntables alongside a highly-sophisticated DJ mixer. It includes two sound bays — A and B, each designed to create differing sonic treatments, with individual and independent modulators and control of TRIM, BEND, GLIDE, CLONE, TUNE, ADSR (envelope), HI-PASS (filter), LO- PASS (filter), and WOBBLE (modulating VOLUME, PITCH, and FILTER). Furthermore, the GATE SEQUENCER allows for independent gating of those two bays and unified control of amount, speed, and LENGTH of sequence. These two signals are then unified with an x-fader; move between the sounds with the mouse or the factory default-assigned modulation wheel. Elsewhere, eDNA’s five-stage FX (effects) path contains 41 custom plug-ins, including preloaded bespoke IRs (Impulse Responses). The BAY A FX and BAY B FX stages affect sound bay A or B, while an AUX FX stage can be sent via the layers or MASTER FX stage. Obviously ORBIS easily enables sonic journeying of its own doing. Discover hundreds of presets treated in various ways, with Spitfire Audio’s acclaimed sampling expertise and technology twisting and turning every sound through 3,000 lines of code! Some sound subtly manipulated while others are heavily processed, unrecognisable from their original source material. Musically-speaking, ORBIS travels far — from playable one-shots and short phrases to tuned and untuned rhythmic loops and recordings up to a minute long. Ultimately, unearthing sounds with subtle movement, complexity, and evolution is an ear-opening experience. Throbbing basses and pulsing loops, ideal for dance music; thunderous drones, subsonic low-end and visceral, tortured drum hits, for adding movement and depth; Blade Runner-style synths, made from antelope horns; and ethereal pads and breathtakingly beautiful evolving textures, for three-dimensional cinematic soundscapes... the very nature of ORBIS’ design takes its users to new levels of sonic exploration and adventure. A lifetime of inspiration as an essential resource awaits anyone creatively climbing aboard. As to the finished product’s potency, Paul Thomson is clearly qualified to comment, enthusiastically ending on a high note: “This is a really rich tapestry of sounds; it’s almost like a new kind of ‘world synth’ which goes from the raw sounds that are incredibly useful all the way through to beautiful, undulating, evolving textures made from these incredible organic recordings.” ORBIS can be purchased and digitally downloaded as an AAX-, AU-, and VST-compatible plug-in that loads directly into a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for a time-limited introductory promo price of £229.00 GBP (inc. VAT)/$269.00 USD/€269.00 EUR (inc. VAT) until August 1, 2019 — rising thereafter to an RRP of £299.00 GBP (inc. VAT)/$349.00 USD/€349.00 EUR (inc.

NEW SEQUENCER ONE - Just £7.00! Digital Recreation of the classic Sequencer Drum SEQUENCER ONE is a digital recreation of an 8-step CV/Gate sequencer classic: The rare SEQUENCER DRUM, produced by EHX during the early eighties. It's a little silver, black and green metal box with only one single square analogue oscillator, eight steps and a few simple controls for pitch, decay and speed rate. It was originally named SEQUENCER DRUM because it had to be triggered/started with the hit of a drumstick on its trigger pad. Link

Puremagnetik Releases a New Album and the Tools Used to Build it Puremagnetik Tapes is pleased to announce its fourth release: Quetico, from sound artist and composer - and Puremagnetik founder - Micah Frank. It is a free (name your price) digital download until August 12th. It is also available on limited edition cassettes. Quetico is a flagship recording for the label and lies close to the roots of Puremagnetik. Frank himself considers the album to be collection of "sound sculptures,” sonic objects in part assembled and in part sculpted from the basics of waveforms, timbres, and the concrete sound-objects of field recordings. (see more details in attached press release) Bandcamp: https://micahfrank.bandcamp.com/album/quetico Puremagnetik Tapes: https://puremagnetik.com/collections/tapes Grainstation-C | An Open Source Granular Workstation with Ambisonics Frank has also published an open source performance workstation designed to build realtime, evolving sound sculptures - with optional ambisonics. Harnessing the audio processing power of Csound, Grainstation-C seamlessly integrates with a Novation LaunchControl XL Mark 2 (easily modifiable for any other controller) and can processes 4 disk tracks and 3 live input streams. You can save any state as a snapshot and morph to that snapshot at any point in a performance. It has 6 independent pitch delay lines, 6 switchable low pass and high pass filters, live audio looping and multiple granular processing controls including granular time-stretching, frame animation and granular pitch shifting. Frank built the program to farm textures and granular structures for his latest album Quetico - out now on Puremagnetik Tapes. With this work he has recently been awarded a 2019 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Music and Sound from The New York Foundation for the Arts.

XTA Introduces MX36 Console Switching System Previewed at InfoComm 2019, then deployed on the world’s stages at Summerfest and Glastonbury, XTA’s latest offering is an ideal solution for festival systems integrating multiple consoles FARMINGDALE, New York - July 2019 -- From sticky notes to rolling luggage, every once in a while a new product comes along that is so uniquely simple in its function and usefulness that engineers everywhere slap their own foreheads and ask, “Why didn’t I come up with that?” In the world of professional concert sound reinforcement, audio engineers are already quickly recognizing XTA’s newly launched MX36 DSP Enabled Console Switching System as the next solid contender for that distinction. Designed to offer a solution to the longstanding problem of routing multiple mixing console outputs to a system processor and/or loudspeaker system, the dual-rack-space MX36 can potentially accommodate as many as nine consoles via 36 inputs across Analog, AES and Dante networks. Inputs are arranged in sets of four to support standard left, right, front-fill and sub feeds from each individual console. All AES inputs have sample-rate conversion, and there is one set of four outputs, available simultaneously across Analog, AES and Dante networks, with word clock output sync available on AES. All switching takes place in the digital domain with soft crossfades, primarily to switch up to three consoles, each with up to three levels of redundancy. The primary and secondary sources may be selected depending on the availability of support on each console—so AES or Dante, or even just analog—and the MX36 constantly monitors signal integrity and will auto-select the selected highest priority secondary source seamlessly should the primary fail. If failover with redundancy is not required, the MX36 can handle up to nine consoles, accommodating three each on Analog, AES and Dante. Furthermore, the Dante buss allows for units to operate in either cascade or parallel modes to extend the input set sizes or number of consoles that may be simultaneously switched. In addition to the quad channel sets for the consoles, there is a fully featured, high quality mono mic preamp for announcements. This has selectable routing, as well as clarity filtering in DSP and switchable 48V phantom power. A stereo line input for background music is also available, again with “sweetening” filtering, selectable routing and fully balanced rear XLR inputs, plus an unbalanced 3.5mm jack front panel input. Just as important as the extensive switching and automatic routing capabilities, the MX36 also has full headphone monitoring of every line individually, including redundancy channels, and is visualized on extended PFL style metering. All of this is fully user-configurable via front panel controls, with no need to connect a computer or depend on an app with a wireless connection. There’s no way for the device to be tampered with remotely, and once settings are locked down, the engineer can step away, safe in the knowledge that the MX36 will keep the music playing, backed up with dual redundant power supplies and XTA’s 25-plus years of robust, quality DSP design. “The MX36 is a perfect choice for festival sound companies and engineers that require a sonically transparent processor to patch and mix front-of-house consoles without requiring a computer,” says XTA Sales and Application Manager Richard Fleming. “It’s also ideal for those not wanting to be forced into using DSP that’s not designed for their needs, or which might be reliant on a complex remote setup.” “The response from the engineers that have seen the MX36 so far at InfoComm, Glastonbury and Summerfest has been overwhelming,” he adds. “They’ve told us, ‘It’s a switcher by engineers for engineers to make console management easy.’ And the most common thing we’ve heard over and over is, ‘Why hasn’t someone come up with this product before now?’ That tells us we’ve got a real winner on our hands.” For details and specs on XTA’s new MX36, visit www.audiocore.co.uk/products/mx.

PRS Guitars Opens New Dedicated Manufacturing Facility Overseas (STEVENSVILLE, MD) July 25, 2019 – PRS Guitars is pleased to announce the opening of a new guitar manufacturing facility in Surabaya, Indonesia for their popular line of PRS SE Series instruments. The facility, which is part of the PT Cort campus, features custom-designed machinery and a dedicated staff of engineers and guitar builders who are solely focused on making PRS SE guitars. The SE line began development in 1999 in response to a request from longtime PRS endorser Carlos Santana who wanted a signature guitar at a more accessible price point. The Series has grown exponentially over the years, and while PRS partnered with several manufacturers overseas to create the line, this new facility at PT Cort comes from the company’s desire to work more closely with manufacturing partners on process and quality controls. “The goal is to make inspirational instruments whether we’re making them here in Maryland or with our manufacturing partners overseas,” stated Jack Higginbotham, PRS Guitars COO. “Whether we’re making guitars in our Maryland headquarters or 9,500 miles away, the goal is to make the best instruments that we can at every price point.” To celebrate the opening of the facility, PRS has posted an in-depth factory tour for fans, guitar players, and those interested at a closer look at the operation in Surabaya from raw wood to finished SE guitar. The video is narrated by Jack Higginbotham. Jack started at PRS as an entry-level employee in 1985, the year Paul Reed Smith founded PRS guitars. Over his tenure as a PRS employee, Jack has had a wide range of responsibilities throughout the business, always supporting Paul's vision of no-compromise guitar making. Today, Jack serves as PRS Guitars’ Chief Operating Officer. Part of his job involves traveling to Indonesia, working closely with our factory there, and continuing to uphold our quality standards.

MAGNETIC EFFECTS INTRODUCE THE ZIG ZAG EFFECTS PEDAL FOR GUITAR. London, England - 24 July 2019 - Magnetic Effects are pleased to release the Zig Zag. The Zig Zag is dual stage drive pedal which combines a Jfet Preamp, which adds a tube style feel to the harmonics and pick attack, with a second opamp/diode based gain stage. The Gain and Preamp controls are voiced differently so that dialling in differing amounts of each changes the overall response of the feel, eq and gain characteristics. The dual gain stages allow for a wide range of gain from low to singing saturation. Active Treble and Bass controls allow for plenty of tonal adjustment and the EQ toggle, with its three settings, make the Zig Zag easy to dial in to match your guitar and amp setup. Switching up or down from the stock middle post of the EQ switch changes the overall eq voicing of the pedal by adding increasing amounts of low and low mids. Plenty of output is available and a voltage doubler ensures the tone controls can operate across their full range without loss of headroom. Great tone and features make the Zig Zag a worthwhile addition to your pedalboard. FEATURES: - Jfet Preamp - Dual Gain stage - Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, EQ and Preamp controls - Active Tone Controls - True Bypass - Top mounted Jacks/DC - Voltage Doubler - Standard 9V DC Operation RETAIL PRICE: $175 US plus shipping. ABOUT: Magnetic Effects is a company based in London, England specialising in handmade guitar pedals with practical features for guitarists. www.magneticeffects.net

Celestion Offers a Sonic Nod to the 70’s with the New G10 Greenback Impulse Responses Digitally Downloadable G10 Greenback IR Delivers Instantly Familiar Classic Rock Sound Ipswich, UK (July 23, 2019) — Celestion, the premier manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers whose classic guitar tones have made the company famous as the voice of rock and roll, has added the very popular G10 Greenback guitar speaker to its celebrated family of Impulse Responses. The new G10 Greenback IR, along with the complete collection of other genuine Celestion guitar speaker tones, is available for audition and download at CelestionPlus. Developed to recapture the legendary rock sound of Celestion’s 1970s 10-inch guitar speakers, the G10 Greenback offers a complex, enthralling mid-range and smooth, vintage top-end, with a ceramic magnet that provides that instantly familiar classic rock sound. It has always been a 10-inch guitar speaker that thinks it’s a 12. Delivering a warm-bodied character and distinctive throaty growl reminiscent of its 12-inch counterpart, the G10 Greenback adds real class in small cabs and gives rise to a raunchy, full-bodied tone, rich in low-end thump in a 4×10 formation. Now the Celestion G10 Greenback speaker has been captured as a speaker Impulse Response and is available to download as a perfect digital representation. The G10 Greenback IR was recorded using three classic, professional microphones – the Sennheiser MD421, the Shure SM57 and the Royer R-121 ribbon mic. Each of these mics were placed in six unique positions around the speaker, titled with the IR files as Thin, Fat, Balanced, Bright, Dark and Dark 2. An additional rear mic position was also used for recording the open back cabinets. These positions are all fully adjustable by the user when using the speaker impulse response files within a DAW, IR plugin or amp modeller. In addition to the three studio mics included with this IR pack, a Neumann TLM107 room mic was also used to offer the user to a huge range of tonal options. The G10 Greenback speaker IR is available to download individually in five different cabinet configurations, including: 1×12 (open back) 1×12 (closed back) 2×12 (open back) 2×12 (closed back) 4×12 (closed back) And all the G10 Greenback IRs can be purchased as a collection for a nearly 50% discount. As with all of the Celestion Impulse Responses, the new G10 Greenback IRs are downloaded in .WAV format for compatibility with most DAWs, IR plug-ins and amp modelling software. The new G10 Greenback Impulse Responses join all the other genuine Celestion acclaimed guitar speaker Impulse Responses such as the: A-Type, Celestion Blue, Celestion Cream, Celestion Gold, Classic Lead 80, Heritage G12H 55Hz, Heritage G12M, G12 EVH, G12K-100, G12-35XC,G12T-75, G12-50GL Lynchback, G12-H150 Redback, G12M Greenback, G12M-65 Creamback,G12M-75 Creamback, G12H Anniversary, G12-65, Neo Creamback, V-Type, Vintage 30 and other models as well as Bass IRs including the BN10-200X, BN15-300X, PULSE10, PULSE12and PULSE15. About Celestion Impulse Responses Celestion IRs, which capture the essential behavior of the cabinet in the specific space in which it was recorded, including the frequency and phase response of single drivers as well as the interaction of multiple speakers, offer the user significant benefits. In both recording and live production, Celestion IRs enable the desired tone to be precisely and consistently reproduced regardless of the music recording or live sound environment. And IR users can escape the limitations of a single mic and cabinet setup and explore a universe of possibilities to create the perfect tone. Once you find a tone that you love, it can be precisely recreated, in the studio or on the road, time after time. And the IRs allow Celestion customers to audition specific models before purchasing one or more physical speakers. Celestion IR digital downloads are available in uncompressed, industry standard .WAV format at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sample rates at 24 bit depth, in lengths of 200 and 500 milliseconds Once the files are downloaded and unzipped, users simply load the IRs into a convolution plug-in in their DAW or into other processing hardware. These formats will work in all known hardware capable of loading IRs, and for the most popular hardware Celestion have already grouped together the correct formats. Guitar processor manufacturers supported include (but are not limited to) Atomic Amps, Fractal Audio Systems, Kemper, Line 6, Logidy, Positive Grid, Two Notes, Headrush and Yamaha. The Celestion IR files may be downloaded in the sample rate and length appropriate for the hardware being used or as a complete package of all rates and lengths. Certain third party hardware requires the files to be converted into a proprietary format before use. Celestion Plus.

Axon A4FLEX Now Shipping Fort Wayne, IN-July 2019...Attero Tech is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Axon A4FLEX networked AVC interface. Combining four studio-grade microphone preamps, logic I/O, a USB audio interface, and a two-channel power amplifier in a 1/3U form factor, the A4FLEX is an ideal solution for huddle rooms. When paired with an enterprise DSP, the A4FLEX can be the only in-room interface needed for larger conference spaces. The Axon A4FLEX can be powered over the network by PoE+ or locally using an optional +24 VDC power supply. The A4FLEX's two Ethernet ports can be used to daisy-chain multiple units. Alternatively, the second Ethernet port can be set up to provide a control system interface in which the control system has complete access to the audio network but all non-control-related traffic is suppressed on the control port. The unit's audio signal processing includes input and output EQ, matrix mixing, and dynamics control. The AES67 network audio interface supports 8-in by 8-out, so when multiple A4FLEX's are used in a room, much of the signal processing and routing usually done in the main DSP can be handled locally, freeing up DSP resources. Included mounting ears enable under-table use, and a 1U rack shelf is optionally available for cleanly rack-mounting up to three A4FLEXs. ### About Attero Tech Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Attero Tech is a leading provider of unique and cost-effective networked AV solutions for all sized venues. Attero Tech solutions help AV systems integrators reduce cost, improve audio quality, future proof systems, and meet their most demanding design requirements. Leveraging their deep background in audio networking and audio theory, Attero Tech has developed innovative connectivity solutions for virtually any scenario. www.atterotech.com

MAGNETIC EFFECTS INTRODUCE THE MIDPHORIA V2 EFFECTS PEDAL FOR GUITAR. The Midphoria is a Fixed Wah Booster with clean blend and switchable range. London, England - 24 July 2019 - Magnetic Effects are pleased to release the Midphoria V2. The new version of the Midphoria adds a Width control (which alters the Q), a wider Sweep range and an internal voltage doubler for increased headroom. Many classic lead tones were recorded with a wah left in one position instead of being rocked back and forwards. This is commonly referred to as ‘fixed’ or ‘parked’ wah. This sound has been used in some of the most famous recordings of all time by great artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Mark Knopfler, Mick Ronson, Michael Schenker and Marc Bolan to name just a few. The Midphoria allows you to access those classic tones in a smaller, more convenient pedal! Unlike a traditional, large Wah Pedal where you have to move the treadle around to find the exact tone you are looking for when playing, the Midphoria allows you to dial in the ‘Sweet Spot’ using the Sweep Control. You can then access this tone by simply turning the pedal on and off using the foot switch. In addition, you can extend the frequency range with the Frequency toggle switch. The Clean Blend allows you to dial in the dry signal so you can balance the amount of Fixed Wah style mid boost. You can go from a subtle hint to all out mids! The Clean Blend has enough output level to be used as a booster on its own. Turn down the Fixed Wah Volume and crank the up Clean Blend for a great sounding boost! All these features add up to make the Midphoria a great sounding and easy to use pedal that integrates well into a modern pedal board. FEATURES: - Top mounted Jacks and DC socket - Volume, Clean, Width, Sweep and Range Controls. - High input impedance and low output impedance - True bypass switching - 9V DC centre negative adapter powered - Internal voltage doubler RETAIL PRICE: $159 US plus shipping.

Antelope Audio announces availability of Goliath HD | Gen 3 audio interface with Edge Duo modelling mic as flagship studio set SANTA MONICA, CA, USA: trailblazing pro audio manufacturer Antelope Audio is proud to announce availability of Goliath HD | Gen 3 — advancing its formidable flagship offering as the world’s most powerful audio interface with brand-new, state-of-the-art AD/DA converters to achieve a stunning 136dB DNR (dynamic range) on its mastering-grade monitor outputs, offering the most comprehensive connectivity available anywhere, and also including a complimentary Edge Duo microphone with switchable polar patterns and realtime mic modelling via its impressive studio partner’s onboard FPGA-powered emulations and Accusonic mic preamps — as of July 23... As implied by the ThunderboltTM|USB 3.0|HDX Port|MADI wording boldly blazoned across a facelifted front panel that is sure to stand out in the most demanding studio setups that the top-tier audio interface itself is duly designed to handle, Goliath HD | Gen 3 works with any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), connecting to Mac and Windows computers with 192 kHz audio over Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, HDX (available as a separately-purchasable, optional upgrade), and MADI (to Dante Bridge). As an Antelope Audio innovation, Goliath HD | Gen 3’s proprietary HDX Compensation Delay technology ensures that any analogue or digital input entering Pro Tools arrives as a fully-sample-accurate signal source, while the company’s custom-created, ultra-fast Thunderbolt driver delivers 64 channels of simultaneous playback and recording at up to sub-millisecond (imperceptible) latency. Additionally, a latency-free direct monitoring environment encompassing four independent internal mixers, each with 32 assignable inputs, is always at hand. Having said that, Goliath HD | Gen 3’s digital and networking connectivity is established by industry-standard AES, MADI, ADAT, S/PDIF, Thunderbolt, USB, and HDX connections combining to total an astronomical 346 digital I/O channels, certainly living up to its name! Needless to say, Goliath HD | Gen 3 also excels in the analogue domain. I/O includes 16 Accusonic mic preamps (M/L 1 through to M/L 16) with mic modelling support for the included Edge Duo microphone’s 11 emulations — namely, Berlin 47, Berlin 49T, Berlin 57, Berlin 87, Berlin 67, Berlin M103, Tokyo 800T, Vienna 12, Vienna 414, Oxford 4038, and Sacramento 121R (https://en.antelopeaudio.com/products/edge-duo/#description); two analogue INSERTS; and four instrument inputs (G1 through to G4) alongside an additional 16 analogue inputs (ANALOG IN) via two D-SUB 25 connectors (with 124dB DNR), while 32 analogue outputs (ANALOG OUT) over four D-SUB 25 connectors (with 129dB DNR), two transformer re- amp outputs (R1 and R2), and two independently-assignable headphone outputs (HP 1 and HP 2) bring the total to 38 analogue outputs. Of course, no studio production project is complete without audio effects; again, as implied by the ZERØ-latency FPGA Engine and AFC Clocking Technology wording also boldly blazoned across its control feature-laden front panel, Goliath HD | Gen 3 does not disappoint. Indeed, it includes 36 realtime FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) hardware-based effects (https://en.antelopeaudio.com/products/ goliath-hd-gen3-real-time-fx/#fx) valued at over $3,000.00 USD, taken from Antelope Audio’s acclaimed AFX library — namely, AuraVerb (reverb); BA-31 (mic preamp model); ClearQ (linear EQ); FET-A76 (FET-based compressor); Gyraf Gyratec X (true tube stereo compressor); PowerEx (in-house expander); PowerFFC (feedforward compressor); PowerGate (noise gate); VCA-160 (VCA-style compressor); VEQ-1A (vintage tube EQ); VEQ-HLF (Pultec-style high- and low-pass filter); VMEQ-5 (midrange EQ); Stay-Levin (American tube compressor); and x903 (natural-sounding compressor), plus 11 guitar amps and 11 guitar cabinets. Coupled with Antelope Audio’s latest 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking jitter management system, those Class-A mic preamps and audiophile-grade AD/DA conversion combine to deliver top-tier, studio- quality sound. Saying that, the acclaimed clocking can be distributed to suitably-equipped external studio equipment via Goliath HD | Gen 3’s twin WC OUT (Word Clock outputs) on BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) connectors. Additionally, Antelope Audio’s 10M Rubidium Atomic Clock can be used for reference (connected on BNC via the dedicated 10M IN input). Thanks to those brand-new, state-of-the-art AD/DA converters achieving a stunning 136dB DNR on its mastering-grade monitor outputs while retaining the centrepiece 3.5-inch high-resolution TFT (Thin-Film-Transistor) display with 262,000-colour capacitive touchscreen panel enabling immediate access to metering, preferences, gain adjustment, and mission-critical functionality, the world’s most powerful audio interface has become even more powerful, as Antelope Audio’s improved and refreshed Goliath HD | Gen 3 clearly demonstrates. Designed to handle working with the most demanding studio setups, it offers the most comprehensive connectivity the pro audio industry has yet seen... and heard! Goliath HD | Gen 3 is available for purchase — priced at an RRP of $5,995.00 USD, including an Edge Duo modelling microphone — through Antelope Audio’s growing global network of authorised dealers (https://en.antelopeaudio.com/dealers/).

Fredric Effects are proud to announce the Regent 150 Preamp Fredric Effects Regent 150 Preamp (£120 RRP) The Fredric Effects Regent 150 Preamp is an accurate recreation of an obscure East German preamp, using a charge pump to match the voltage of the original ampifier and real NOS 40 year old East German transistors. The Regent 150 Preamp uses the preamplifier and EQ circuit from the Vermona* Regent 150K amplifier of the 1970s, a staple of Eastern bloc rehearsal studios, stages and bedrooms. When first prototyping this circuit we'd expected an interesting lo-fi curio, something punky, scrappy or perhaps thin sounding, however the result has far surpassed expectations. The treble control adds a clean sound which is glassy and precise, and the boosted bass is warm without being flubby. Overall the effect also adds a little welcome compression. Use it as an EQ, boost, or just leave it on all the time because it sounds so good. *Vermona is a trademark of HDB electronic GmbH Info, demos and buy-it-now buttons on the Fredric site. http://www.fredric.co.uk/regent-150-preamp About Fredric Effects Based in North London, Fredric Effects has grown since 2011 to become one of the UK's most highly regarded effects manufacturers.
