GEPCO INTRODUCES X-BAND DOUBLE-SHIELDED SINGLE-PAIR ANALOG AUDIO CABLE AT AES 2007

NEW YORK, NY — Gepco International, an industry leader in the manufacturing and distribution of quality professional audio and video cables, introduced the XB401FB X-Band Double-Shielded Single-Pair Analog Cable at AES 2007. The new XB401FB is a double-shielded (foil and braid) version of Gepco‘s original XB401 single-pair audio cable. Featuring a low-capacitance and low-noise design, it is the ideal single-pair cable for permanent installation in critical audio applications.


The XB401FB conductors are made from finely stranded 24AWG oxygen-free copper to allow for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance. For exceptional RF/EMI noise rejection, the XB401FB features two shields –a 95% TC braid and a 100% foil shield–as well as precision, high-twist conductor pairing. Each conductor is insulated with a data-grade foam dielectric for low capacitance and easy termination. The outer jacket is constructed from Gepco‘s G-Flex compound which is extra-flexible and easy to strip.


“Our X-Band single-pair audio cable is our premier cable for critical audio and studio wiring applications. It provides excellent audio performance without sacrificing the ease of termination that Gepco cable is known for,” said Scott Fehl, Gepco‘s product development manager. “The XB401FB adds another option to this series for users who are looking for additional shielding and RF suppression.”

RIEDEL EXPANDS PERFORMER DIGITAL PARTYLINE SERIES AT AES 2007

Riedel Communications, pioneer of advanced intercom and radio technology, has added several new products to its Performer digital partyline intercom series. The world‘s first digital partyline intercom system featuring high-quality digital audio now provides 2 and 4-channel master stations, rack-mount, wall-mount and desktop speaker stations, call light indicators and 2-channel beltpack headset stations. The Performer digital partyline series was showcased at the recent AES Convention.


Performer CR-4 / CR-2 Master Station

The new Performer master stations CR-4 (4-channel) and CR-2 (2-channel) are the ideal choice for setting up a stand-alone digital partyline system. Depending on the setup, the integrated power supply of the 19”/1RU device can power up to 32 Performer devices - such as beltpacks, split-boxes or desktop speaker stations - per line. Additional power-supplies easily expand the possibilities. The clear user interface ensures ultimate performance and flexibility. The color-illuminated buttons are ideal for applications in operational environments. The remote mic-kill function allows the user to silence any open microphone on the intercom channels. The CR-4/CR-2 features an additional program input that can be mixed individually to each of the intercom channels. Other features include individual listen volume controls for all partylines, Call and S-Call, IFB, and an on-stage function for using the intercom microphone with a PA system. The CR-4/CR-2 can be operated using a headset or an integrated powerful loudspeaker with a gooseneck microphone. The new Performer CR-4 / CR-2 Master Station are scheduled to start shipping in October.


Performer CD-2 Desktop Speaker / Headset Station

The CD-2 Desktop Speaker/Headset Station provides the same feature set as the CR-2 Master Station with the exception of the internal power-supply. This makes the CD-2 ideal for operation as a desktop speaker station or - in combination with an external power-supply - as a 2-channel master station for setting up a stand-alone digital partyline system.


Performer CW-2 Wall Mount Speaker / Headset Station

The CW-2 Wall Mount Speaker/Headset Station comes with a standard 4-gang outlet box and provides an easy-to-use 2-channel digital intercom panel. The large rotary level controls combine volume control and a talk button with momentary/latching operation. The unit can be operated using a headset or an integrated powerful loudspeaker with a microphone. A call signal LED, Call and S-Call function complete the feature list. The CW-2 can be powered from the partyline or via a local power supply.

EASTWEST PLAY TUTORIALS NOW ONLINE

HOLLYWOOD — EASTWEST, the industry leader in soundware development and distribution, is offering tutorials for its new Ministry of Rock and Voices of Passion collections free for download on the company‘s website. The tutorials provide those interested in the ground-breaking PLAY powered products, offering both 64-bit and 32-bit support (a first for multi-format virtual instruments), an in-depth overview of how easy and incredible sounding these virtual instruments are, and the power and simplicity of the PLAY software.


Ministry of Rock and Voices of Passion creator and leading composer, Nick Phoenix, gives visitors an inside tour of the collections‘ interfaces and the capabilities of its instruments. To date, Phoenix has developed scores or licensed music for more than 1000 major motion picture trailers, including “Spiderman 3,” “Rush Hour 3,” “300,” “The Last Mimzy,” “Night at the Museum,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean 3,” as well as scoring numerous TV shows for NBC, CBS, Showtime, Fox Family, and the History Channel. With extensive industry experience, Phoenix offers users a professional insight into both collections.


Quantum Leap Ministry of Rock (to view tutorial, visit http://www.soundsonline.com/Quantum-Leap-Ministry-Of-Rock-pr-EW-173.html) is a huge 20 gigabyte collection of rock drums, basses and guitars recorded in the world-famous EASTWEST Studio 2, which has been host to some of the top rock groups such as Metallica, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots and System of a Down. The collection was created with one goal in mind: to introduce a virtual instrument capable of producing sounds that can be used to produce a hit record or film score without any live drums, bass or guitars.


Quantum Leap Voices of Passion (to view tutorial, visit http://www.soundsonline.com/product.php?productid=EW-174 ), is a virtual instrument of female vocalists from Wales, Syria, India, Bulgaria and America. Voices of Passion features five outstanding professional female artists singing vowels, words, morphing vowels, effects, phrases, calls, whispers and breath noises. It is not a replacement for a lead singer, it is designed as a voice based instrument, and the first virtual instrument or sample library produced specifically for use in the film/TV/game genre. Voices of Passion is also the first created specifically for use in the Ambient and New Age genres, and the first to feature true legato intervals.


Other PLAY tutorials will be posted shortly on their individual product pages. To view all EASTWEST PLAY products go to www.soundsonline.com/play .
