Renkus-Heinz IC² takes digital beam steering into high power sector
The groundbreaking Renkus-Heinz IC2 (IC Squared) is the world’s first high powered, medium format digitally steerable loudspeaker system. Designed for theatre and club installations, IC2 combines digital beam steering - with four separately controllable beams - with high power output, built in amplification and RHAON network control. With the power and focus of a point source loudspeaker, via four 8-inch LF drivers and 1-inch Titanium Nitride coated HF drivers, IC2 delivers articulate musicality and exceptional vertical pattern control for maximum intelligibility.
IC² can be used as a stand-alone high-performance loudspeaker, a small ground stack or a flown array of up to 20 cabinets.
Easily Create Custom Monitor Mixes with PreSonus QMix
Each member of your praise band needs to hear something different in their monitors but the volunteer mixing the service often struggles to manage multiple monitor mixes. And until now, enabling individuals to control their own custom monitor mixes has been expensive and complicated.
Not anymore! With free PreSonus QMix for Apple iPhone and iPod touch, a PreSonus StudioLive-series mixer, and a FireWire-equipped laptop computer, up to ten band members (and the choirmaster) can easily create their own custom monitor mixes in seconds-wirelessly. Then, with QMix’s innovative Wheel of Me, they can turn themselves up or down relative to the rest of their custom mix. QMix even lets the sound person set permissions so that each iPhone/iPod touch only controls a specified mix, preventing anyone from messing up someone else’s monitors. It’s PreSonus’ contribution to peace on earth.
So provide monitoring freedom for your praise band and relief for your sound person with a StudioLive mixer and free QMix software-only from PreSonus!
Symetrix Announces Release Of SymNet Composer DSP Configuration Software
Symetrix has announced the immediate release of SymNet Composer installed sound DSP configuration software. It will be on display at the upcoming 2012 InfoComm show in Las Vegas, booth C10331.
When performing basic Edge hardware configuration, Composer automatically identifies the type of audio I/O module installed in each of the Edge frames’ four I/O card slots (up to 16 channels of local audio).
When connecting multiple Edge frames via Dante gigabit network audio (up to 128 channels total), quick and easy network management is accomplished entirely within the SymNet Composer programming environment.
A fully open architecture application, Composer’s fast and fluid navigation accelerates the audio path design process. System designers exercise complete creative control selecting from a library of over 600 proven DSP processing, routing, mixing, and special purpose modules.
A designer’s proprietary Super-modules (complex blocks of multiple DSP modules and routings) can be exported from or imported into Composer and re-purposed in future projects.
SymNet Composer’s Event Scheduler automatically changes presets at pre-determined dates and times using a familiar Outlook-style calendar. If desired, hardware clocks can be set to sync to network time protocol (NTP).
Composer also configures the Symetrix ARC series of wall panel remotes along with the zero-cost embedded ARC-WEB for wireless control of Edge hardware using Apple and Android mobile devices.
With Composer, any chosen set of controls (i.e. faders, mutes, selectors) can be consolidated and exported to create custom technician or end user virtual control panels from a program called SymVue. There’s no scripting language to learn, no time-consuming graphic design.
Composer supports third-party RS-232 or Ethernet control devices with Symetrix’ human-readable external control protocol.
“DSP is deep in Symetrix’ DNA. Edge hardware, paired with Composer software, is our most exciting commercial audio product yet,” says Paul Roberts, Symetrix vice president of sales and marketing. “Announcements regarding additional audio input/output modules for Edge, as well as on-line training and certification for SymNet Composer, are slated for the very near future.”
The Symetrix technical support staff is available for remote design assistance and in-person training at support@symetrix.co.
