PRESONUS EXPANDS REVELATOR™ FAMILY WITH NEW USB VOCAL MICROPHONE, AUDIO INTERFACE
PreSonus Audio Electronics, Inc. today announced the global launch of two new products in its innovative Revelator™ line. As with other Revelator-series products, the new Revelator Dynamic USB vocal microphone and Revelator io44 audio interface combine studio-grade audio recording quality with powerful onboard processing and a simple software-controlled mixer that can blend sound from multiple applications for monitoring and live streaming.
Like its sibling, the Revelator USB large diaphragm condenser microphone, the Revelator Dynamic mic offers easy-to-use presets that let recording vocalists quickly customize their sound and create a polished mix for studio recording, live streaming, and podcasting. The Revelator Dynamic utilizes the same custom-built, dynamic microphone capsule found in the fan-favorite PreSonus® PD-70 broadcast microphone. Like the PD-70, the Revelator Dynamic is designed to capture the human voice cleanly and clearly by eliminating breathiness, unwanted reverberance, and even ambient room noise. This allows the Revelator Dynamic to be set up in virtually any space, capturing the perfect vocal take, every time, allowing home recordists to set up their studio just about anywhere.
VuWall Introduces PAK, a Scalable and Cost-Effective Video Wall-Over-IP Solution
VuWall, a technology leader in video wall control systems and unified visualization solutions, is launching PAK™, an innovative solution for deploying and managing modular video walls in AV-over-IP environments. PAK is a networked, multidecode node that can operate as a stand-alone device or be stitched with other nodes to build an IP-based video wall that is infinitely scalable. It simplifies video wall project deployments by reducing the number of connections and eliminating a single point of failure, reducing project risk, and offering improved reliability.
“If we peek behind many of today’s video walls, we’d expect to see an incredible amount of expensive hardware and lengthy cable runs snaking from an overcrowded rack that takes many labor hours to deploy,” said Mark Schmidt, chief technology officer of VuWall. “Unlike traditional video wall systems, it’s extremely easy to build video walls with PAK. Whether large or small, all that’s required are PAK appliances. To increase the size of a video wall, simply add a PAK. The only spare component needed to keep in stock is the PAK, reducing inventory costs and project complexity.”

Meyer Sound PANTHER Redefines Large‑Scale Line Array Technology
Meyer Sound announces PANTHER, a new flagship linear line array loudspeaker engineered to meet rapidly evolving demands for large-scale touring and installed systems.
Complex and visually-focused production scenarios, coupled with tighter safety regulations, often restrict the space and weight allowed for loudspeakers. At the same time, environmental policies require greater energy efficiency and a smaller footprint for transport as more productions shift to a networked signal infrastructure. Responding to these demands, PANTHER’s acoustic output is closer to the significantly larger and heavier LEO line array loudspeaker and occupies the slender form factor of the existing LYON line array loudspeaker. Despite stadium levels of performance, PANTHER weighs just 150 lb (68 kg) and offers substantial savings on current draw from the previous generation flagship line array loudspeaker. A dual analog/Milan AVB network input module means PANTHER offers flexible signal distribution options and each cabinet comes standard with an IP55 weather protection rating — all at a substantially lower initial cost compared to LEO and LYON.

RTI Seamlessly Integrates With Lutron RadioRA 3 Connected Lighting Control System
Leading control and automation manufacturer RTI today announced that its control platform seamlessly integrates with and controls the new RadioRA 3 lighting and control system from Lutron. With its wall controls, touch-controlled light bar design and IoT connectivity, a new all-in-one PoE processor, simplified programming software, and app-based editing features, RadioRA 3 transforms how homeowners experience lighting control. RTI elevates this performance by enabling RadioRA3 products to be easily programmed, managed, and automated via RTI interfaces.
“Lighting control is an essential part of the smart home and is a growth category for integrators. RadioRA 3 broadens the opportunity for dealers to provide beautiful lighting, shading, and control options,” said Neal Ellsworth, RTI Director of Product Management. “RTI takes it a step further, enabling dealers to fully integrate automation and customization that truly delight customers with a superior smart home lighting experience.”
Just Add Power Solves Supply Chain Shortages With Field-Modifiable KVM Transmitters
Just Add Power, a leader in AV-over-IP distribution, is building upon its legacy of continuous product flexibility and support with the new 718KVM and 749KVM transmitters. Built in response to the incredible customer demand for the 718AVP and 749AVP transmitters at a time when the solutions’ Dolby downmixing chipset is in short supply, the new transmitters support keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) as well as stereo audio breakout right out of the box. The transmitters will be field-modifiable in the future to have all features of the 718AVP/749AVP once chips become more readily available. This strategy will protect dealer investments and give them a path toward full AVP performance.
“Like so many other industries, we are not immune to supply chain issues,” said Taft Stricklin, sales team manager at Just Add Power. “The new 718KVM and 749KVM transmitters not only present installers with an affordable, modular solution that provides the KVM product they need now but also offers them future support for AVP. We will continue to produce this product even after the chip shortage has resolved because it provides a lower cost of entry into Just Add Power AV distribution with KVM functionality for projects that do not need Dolby downmixing.”
