Radial Engineering announces the new Acoustic Series designation for its family of preamps targeting acoustic instrumentalists. With the Acoustic Series family designation, Radial makes it easier for acoustic instrumentalists — from guitarists and stand-up bassists to orchestral string players — to find and decide which Radial preamp model best suits their performance needs.

“With the addition of the PZ Pro, we wanted to make it easy for our dealers and end-users to understand the range of features, benefits, and price points for our acoustic preamp family. The Acoustic Series designation does this by creating a single point of reference with regards to features/benefits and price points for all of Radial’s acoustic preamps.”

DPA Microphones’ new 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Microphone is being widely adapted into the television and film production world as a plant mic solution. Featuring the same sonic qualities as the brand’s supercardioid 4097 CORE Choir Microphone, the compact 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun has been optimized to pick up speech from a distance.

“We spoke with professional sound engineers to find out what they needed in their toolboxes and designed the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun as a plant mic solution to complement their other equipment,” says René Mørch, product manager, DPA Microphones. “Ideal for miking in small spaces, the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun has a small footprint and clear audio pickup. The sonic qualities of the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun are particularly beneficial for placing mics in inconspicuous locations as it enables location sound experts to capture sound from anywhere on set. Used in combination with our boom mics and lavaliers, the 4097 Micro Shotgun becomes the final piece of a complete microphone package to meet the needs of any TV or film production. Since the 4097 has the same sonic characteristics as all DPA mics, it is now easy to capture reliable, high-quality audio that doesn’t need dubbing or hours of mixing and post-production work.”

In line with the industry trend toward lighter and more powerful devices, Munich-based battery manufacturer bebob presents its new  and A200micro battery packs. Available as V-Mount (V200micro) and Gold Mount compatible (A200micro) versions, both feature 196 Wh and 14,4 V (16,0 A maximum discharge current) — combined with the lowest footprint in its class.

The bebob V200micro and A200micro Lithium-ion packs only measure 75 x 101 x 81mm – that’s about two thirds of traditional 200 Wh batteries. But even better: The new “micro monsters” are equipped with a lot of smart and unique bebob features, making the work-life on-set smoother and easier: An integrated LED flashlight can be activated at the touch of a button to light up dark settings. The rainproof “Twist D-Tap” output allows to plug a D-Tap connector into the battery with free choice of cable trailing from the left or right. To power accessories, atop each Vmicro and Amicro is a USB port (5,0 V; max.1,0 A) with a sliding cover to keep the elements out.

Featuring a hybrid modular synthesis approach, PreSonus®’ Deep Flight One instrument library for Studio One®’s Presence XT sampler draws on rare and sought-after analog and digital synthesizers and layered field recordings, sweetened with legendary and exotic signal processors, to create a huge range of organic, deep, and inspiring sounds. Use Deep Flight One’s Multi Instrument presets straight up or combine its elements any way you like to create unique instruments and effects.

Deep Flight One delivers dramatic sounds, both tonal and atonal, from field recordings; percussive sounds and tonal and atonal soundscapes from classic modular synths; and otherworldly textures of the type much sought after by TV and film composers, electronic music producers, and others seeking fresh sounds. While each multisample preset can be used as is, the real power of this instrument is in the combination of multiple layered elements. Samples are raw material to be molded with synthesizer parameters such as filters, envelopes, modulation, and effects. By using sample-start modulation, controlled in real time using velocity, no two single keystrokes sound exactly the same.
