Voice-Acoustic, German manufacturer of high-quality sound reinforcement systems brings line array physics to a compact column format with the VENIA series. The new series consists of two full-range models: the passive VENIA-6 (4x 6.5" and 3x 1") and the bi-amped high-performance column array VENIA-8 (4x 8" and 4x 1"), which impresses with 140dB sound pressure at only 35kg weight.
The high-frequency drivers are each coupled to a line array waveguide and produce a dispersion angle of 100° horizontally and 0°/-20° vertically via a large horn. The HF section of the VENIA series provides a vertically asymmetrical sound pressure coverage with a plane wavefront. The principle of larger line arrays is transferred to the VENIA loudspeakers in a compact column format: the high-frequency energy is bundled to cover longer distances and the near filed is covered by curving with a lower energy content distributed to a larger area. The result is a very balanced level distribution across the entire listening area with very homogeneous sound distribution.
Royer Labs, a leading manufacturer of high-quality ribbon microphones, is pleased to announce its second generation in-line signal booster, the dBooster2. In addition to being an exceptional phantom powered signal booster and impedance buffer for both ribbon and dynamic microphones, the second generation dBooster2 offers independent 2-channel functionality and doubles as a DI to accommodate signal levels for electric guitar, bass, and other unbalanced guitar level sources. With both channels having the ability to serve as an in-line signal booster, a DI, or one channel of each—the dBooster2 makes an outstanding choice for miking low volume sound sources, recording direct to a DAW interface, interfacing with long cable runs to maintain audio quality, or as a DI.
When used as a signal booster, both channels of the dBooster2 increase the level of passive low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones with minimum distortion or coloration. Created for professional applications, the dBooster2’s input stages are designed like the front end of a high-end microphone preamplifier, and you can hear it. Each dBooster2 channel offers two levels of clean gain boost: 12dB or 20dB in Mic Mode, selectable by a front panel switch. The dBooster2’s Class A input presents a high source impedance to microphones, minimizing loading (damping) and improving headroom. By utilizing the 12/20dB gain switch, optimum balance between gain and headroom can be achieved.
