LynTec, a leading manufacturer of innovative electrical power control solutions for professional audio, video, and lighting systems, is kicking off the first phase of its new lighting control product lineup with the LCP Lighting Control Panel Series. Designed exclusively for lighting and video wall installations, the LCP Series is built on the same internationally recognized Square D G3 Powerlink™ controllable circuit breaker platform as the patented RPC Power Control Series, but with the lighting control features these projects require, including the increased installation flexibility.

“The RPC was built to intelligently support the power demands of audio and video, and as we added support for DMX and sACN, the family became the go-to power control solution for integrated AVL installations,” said Mark Bishop, President of LynTec. “In fact, they’re so trustworthy and easy to install that lighting designers and installers have grown to rely on them even when audio protection isn’t needed. With the LCP, they now have all the quality and reliability of the G3 Powerlink platform but in a cost-effective panel purpose-built for lighting and video wall projects.”

Yamaha YC73 and YC88 Stage Keyboards Put Classic Drawbar Organs and Vintage Keys in Packages for All Musicians

In Audio, Audio Product News, home_page, Image, Product News, Web Articlesby Media

Yamaha will be showcasing the YC73 and YC88 Stage Keyboards during NAMM’s virtual Believe in Music week starting January 21, 2021. The YC73 and YC88 combine great-feeling new keyboard actions with the soulful sounds, drawbar control, and gig-ready ease of use of the YC61 (introduced in January 2020). The YC73 features 73 weighted, balanced keys and is ideal for keyboardists who divide their playing between organ, piano, electric piano, clavi, synth, and other staple keyboard sounds. The YC88 is meant for musicians who prioritize the touch and response of an acoustic piano, offering 88 weighted Natural Wood keys with triple-sensor action, synthetic ebony and ivory key tops. Both add options alongside the semi-weighted “waterfall” action of the YC61 — the key shape preferred by organ players.

The YC73 and YC88 employ exclusive Yamaha Virtual Circuit Modeling (VCM) to capture not only the sound of classic “drawbar” organs, but their behavior down to the component level. VCM also reproduces the distinctive rotary speaker effect, which most keyboardists consider inseparable from the organ itself. In other words, the YC series does not merely take a digital snapshot of the world’s most imitated organ sound — it builds that sound from the ground up. This results in unprecedented authenticity.

TASCAM is pleased to announce the TM-70 Dynamic Microphone. Designed as a unique hybrid of super-cardioid and dynamic elements, the TM-70 is resistant to ambient noise and is ideally voiced to handle the nuances of the human voice—making this microphone an outstanding choice for live broadcasting, podcasting, film dialog, and audio streaming.

The TASCAM TM-70 Dynamic Microphone is the perfect specialty mic for flawless vocal audio production. Featuring a super cardioid polar pattern and a frequency response of 30Hz〜20kHz, the TM-70 was specifically engineered to capture what it is pointed at, effectively isolating sound sources such as directional dialog. The mic’s super cardioid directivity makes it resistant to ambient noise, thus enabling users to achieve a clean, clear audio signal that results in first class speech intelligibility. Equally notable, as the TM-70 captures more of one’s voice and less room sound, it becomes easier for engineers to provide the ideal mix.

Using existing germicidal technology and UV-C lights, XSF has developed the XSF UV Light Towers. They are sturdy stainless steel and aluminum towers that provide peace of mind by disinfecting exposed surfaces and air in rooms or enclosed spaces.

There are two models of the UV Light Tower currently offered by XSF. The Timer Model is a 440W UV-C tower with 8each 55W lamps, a built-in programmable LED touch screen timer, and a remote switch. The touch screen timer may be set in 5 minute increments up to the desired disinfection time. Disinfection time recommendations are provided with the UV Tower. Once the cycle is initiated, the touch screen will show a 60 second countdown to allow personnel to evacuate the area to be disinfected before the lights automatically turn on. The tower will turn itself off after the pre-determined cycle countdown is complete.

In a highly-anticipated debut streamed live from the Jazz Club Karlsruhe, just a few minutes from Lawo headquarters in Rastatt, Germany, the company today unveiled two bright new stars in the Lawo mixing universe: the Phase II of its incredibly powerful A__UHD Core audio engine, and the next generation of Lawo’s most compact, feature-filled all-in-one mixer: the mc²36 audio production console. 

Both products are designed to deliver maximum output using minimal space, weight and power requirements. The native-IP A__UHD Core just became Lawo’s new console core for mc² consoles and takes a decisive lead in processing power per cubic centimeter by delivering an astounding 1,024 channels of mc²-quality audio processing in just 1RU, while dramatically cutting power consumption — performance that previously required 5x the power and 10x the rack space. The new mc²36 mixer raises the audio production bar by more than doubling the DSP channel count of the original, as well as introducing an ultra-compact 16-fader version that delivers big performance in the smallest mc² footprint ever. And a major new feature, IP Easy, makes managing IP network devices simpler and more intuitive than ever before.
