About Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc.:
Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc. (YCAS) provides a full line of integrated professional audio products offering complete systems solutions for the broadcast, sound reinforcement/installed sound, touring, commercial recording, and post production markets. With the addition of NEXO to the product line, the company remains the official U.S. and Canadian distributor for all NEXO speaker models. YCAS offers comprehensive in-house and field product training for its customers, a dedicated dealer network, and 24/7 technical support.

BUENA PARK, Calif.—Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc. in announces the launch of several new products by NEXO France, making their debut today at this year’s ProLight+Sound Expo in Frankfurt. The new products cover all aspects of sound reinforcement, making innovative inroads into line arrays, networking, amplification, and system processing.

The STM Series (Scale Through Modularity) loudspeaker cabinets are the first of its kind on the market. Ideal for touring, festivals, and sound company rental, the new system combines the best of NEXO Alpha functionality with the technical innovation of NEXO GEO waveguide designs, and delivers a powerful, flexible, and easy to use system. Scale Through Modularity (STM) enables line array systems to scale up or down depending on event audience size, from 1,000 to 100,000 people.

“We congratulate our NEXO partners for the innovative STM Series,” states Marc Lopez, Marketing Manager, Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc. “With valuable input from end users, we are confident our customers will find the sound amazing, and the cost-per-box along with ease of rigging an enormous asset when deploying the new line array.”

The NEXO STM system can be configured from four discrete loudspeaker elements: M46 main, B112 bass, S118 subbass, and M28 ‘Omni’ modules. System configurations can comprise arrays of main cabinets only, or main plus bass, or bass plus main plus bass. The ability to add extra bass cabinets to the system in order to increase power and headroom without introducing unwanted phase anomalies makes STM unique, as it is the first vertical array system to offer scalable LF. Deploying the dedicated subbass cabinets, either in the arrays or as ground-stacks, further increases the system’s options. The ‘Omni’ fill speakers complete the coverage pattern, whatever the scale of the system.

The NEXO STM Series main, bass and Omni cabinets are injection-molded for maximum durability and weather-resistance. And, the extremely powerful bass cabinet has a frequency response of 63Hz to 200Hz, overlapping that of the sub and main modules, providing a valuable increase in LF headroom. The sub can achieve a similar SPL output to the NEXO CD18 unit using just one 18” driver. Two subs can be used back-to-back in cardioid mode, or side-by-side in omnidirectional mode.”

The M46 main cabinet’s flat-membrane drivers ensure complete, even, and full-range coverage over the entire 90° horizontal dispersion. HF frequency range remains completely linear using Kepton Polymer diaphragms that enhance tonal response and long throw. The M46 features 4 x 6.5 inch LF/MF drivers, 4 x HF compression drivers, has a 145dB peak SPL, and a frequency response of 85Hz-20kHz. Compact in size, the main cabinet is only 13.8” h x 22.6” w x 28.2” d, weighing in at 121 lbs.

The B112 bass cabinet features a Neodymium high excursion 3000W 12″ bass driver with 4″ voice coil and shares the same dimensions, weight, and gravity center as the M46. The hybrid horn-loaded design maximizes the efficiency of the driver, delivering 6dB more than a standard front-loaded driver in this frequency range. With a 1 x 3000W +/- 3cm excursion 12 inch LF Driver, the bass has a 141dB peak SPL and a frequency response of 63Hz-200Hz. The B112 is 13.8” h x 22.6” w and 28.2” d and weighs 121 lbs.

The S118 subbass cabinet features a Neodymium high excursion 3000W 18″ driver. A bandpass load ensures SPL output equivalent to conventional dual 18″ subbasses. The unit uses a 1 x 18 inch LF Driver, has a 143dB peak SPL and a frequency response of 25Hz-85Hz. The subbass cabinet is 27.6” h x 22.6” w and 28.2” d and weighs 187 lbs. The S118 can be flown in the array or ground-stacked in line and can run in omnidirectional or cardioid sub mode.

The M28 Omni cabinet is used for downfill and provides 120° of horizontal dispersion and 0° to 15° splaying angle between modules. The cabinet features 2 x 8 inch LF Drivers, 4 x 4 inch MF Drivers, 1 x HF Compression Driver, with a 140dB peak SPL and frequency response of 60Hz-20kHz. The Omni cabinet is 9.2” h x 22.6” w and 28.2” d and weighs 84 lbs. It can also be used independently from the M46 or B112.

The STM system has been designed ready for the road. Using a range of dolly and bumper accessories, the system can be prepped in the warehouse, loaded onto dollies for transport, and wheeled right into a venue. All aspects of the STM sound system’s use have been re-engineered, and its PistonRig™ and REDLock™ rigging technology allows for one rigger to fly a 72-cabinet arena system very easily.

The STM cabinets are paired with the NEXO Universal Amp Rack, or NUAR, which contains plug-and-play digital patches, real-time system monitoring and control network functionality in addition to two NXAMP4x4s, which together can power up to 12 STM speakers, in groups of three. The innovative NUAR includes a new dual-voltage version of the NXAMP and works in conjunction with the new Digital Meter Unit (DMU), an intelligent input patch panel providing digital communication with the NXAMP, and the new Digital Patch Unit (DPU), an intelligent output patch panel.

For inclusion in the rack, NEXO is offering a choice of network card solutions. Along with NEXO’s long-established NXES104 EtherSound network control, the company announces the new NXDT104 Dante™ audio plug-in card for the NXAMP enabling NEXO loudspeaker systems to explore the many benefits of a high-performance AVB-ready digital networking solution. The NXDT104 will distribute digital audio plus integrated control data, automatically configuring its network interface and finding other Dante™ devices on the network. The NXDT104 can receive four audio streams (24 bits/48kHz) in Dante™ format, offers a dual port for redundancy and third port for additional remote control, and a direct connection to PC using the ASIO™ format.

In the near future, end users will be able to download from iTunes the first release of NeMo, an App for the iPad and iPhone providing remote control over a NXAMP network from anywhere in the venue.

Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc. will show the new NEXO STM System at InfoComm 2012 in Las Vegas. The system is targeted for late summer availability.

Minnetonka Audio Software will distribute & resellbellwether dialog loudness benchmark

MINNETONKA, MN – Minnetonka Audio Software, Inc., a leader in production software for motion picture, broadcast surround sound and consumer electronics applications, announced today that they have finalized a worldwide agreement with California-based Dolby Laboratories, Inc. to distribute and resell the Dolby(r) Media Meter 2 product.

Dolby Media Meter 2 is a software tool that measures loudness in audio content for broadcast, packaged media, cinema, VOD and games. Differences in audio levels between programs and channels or between programs and commercials can cause major annoyances to TV viewers. These differences have proven much easier to hear than to measure. Dolby Media Meter 2 addresses this issue with award-winning Dialogue Intelligence(tm) technology. Dialogue Intelligence automatically detects speech in the audio track and only then measures loudness. Dolby Media Meter 2 also supports ITU-R BS.1770 and the EBU R-128 loudness measurement specifications.

Dolby Media Meter 2 runs as a stand alone, cross-platform application and as a plug-in for AudioSuite, RTAS, and VST formats. To better address the needs of the post-production community, Minnetonka Audio has created a new, all-inclusive product bundle that gathers together Dolby Media Meter 2 with SurCode for Dolby E Encoder and Decoder plus SurCode for Dolby E Stream Player. The SurCode for Dolby E Master Suite package replaces the existing Production Suite bundle. Dolby Media Meter 2, along with the new Master Suite, are available to channel partners and customers through a fully automated, online order fulfillment system.

As experts at surround encoding and decoding, dealing with correct dialnorm settings has been a vital part of Dolby Media Meter integration into AudioTools Server from the very beginning. Markus Hintz, Director of Global Sales and Business Development at Minnetonka Audio, reflected on the intrinsic value of Dolby Media Meter 2. “Dolby Media Meter is the most comprehensive loudness metering tool on the market, a solid and unobtrusive multi-platform work horse, with varied and unique measurement types. Dolby Media Meter is also the only assessment tool that can measure loudness within encoded audio and easily point to discrepancies between metadata settings and measured loudness.”

“Loudness metering and encoding are two essential steps to a successfully encoded program,” Hintz continued, “and Minnetonka Audio has an interest in assisting content producers to correctly encode their material, which hinges on correct dialnorm settings. Since software metering and software-based encoding products are typically used together, it can only benefit our customer base now that Minnetonka is able to offer a comprehensive solution. We are proud to be selling the pioneer in loudness measurement, bundled with our market leading encoding products.”

Dolby Media Meter is available for immediate delivery from Minnetonka Audio resellers and distributors and also directly from their eShop. Minnetonka Audio will be demonstrating the Dolby Media Meter 2 package at the upcoming NAB convention in April.

Band Composed of Members of Fleet Foxes and The Christmas Cards

Poor Moon, a new group collaboration formed by members of Fleet Foxes and The Christmas Cards have mastered “Illusion,” a new 5-song, 45rpm 12-inch vinyl EP at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood. On hand for the sessions were engineer/mixer Jared Hankins, who has worked with Fleet Foxes since 2008, and Ian Murray, mandolin/guitar player, and backing vocalist.

Poor Moon is Christian Wargo (Fleet Foxes, Crystal Skulls), Casey Wescott (Fleet Foxes, Crystal Skulls) and brothers Ian and Peter Murray (The Christmas Cards). The band, named for frontman and primary songwriter Christian Wargo’s favorite Canned Heat song, began four years ago as a long-distance project with demos being created and sent back and forth while Wargo and Wescott were touring in support of the Fleet Foxes 2008 self-titled debut, and recording with Ian and Peter, who were living in the San Francisco Bay area.

Recording engineer Jared Hankins explained that the material was recorded to ProTools and then mixed down to half-inch analog tape through a vintage API console at Avast! Studios in Seattle.

“We came here to master with Bernie because of our respect for his work,” said Hankins. “I’ve always wanted to work with him and hear the audio path he has configured at his studio. I have heard all these songs in demo form, and it’s been a long process of recording and getting them to this final stage in mastering, which is quite a thrill for all of us.”

Poor Moon’s “Illusion” will be released on March 27, Sub Pop Records.

London––Martin Audio had such a high level of confidence in its new MLA Compact Multi-cellular loudspeaker array that the company booked the HMV Apollo Hammersmith over two days for its first international showcase.

This showcase provided the proper context for the MLA Compact’s official introduction to the media and Martin Audio’s global distributor network.

The feedback received over the four sessions—which drew visitors from as far afield as North America—was overwhelming.

In his opening speech, Managing director Anthony Taylor referred to the 900 original MLA systems now out in the field, stating that the release of a Compact version was an inevitable consequence of the MLA’s success.

“We have been working on this really for the last 14 months and we are very excited by the concept.

“It has all the attributes of the original MLA—it is an incredibly powerful system, and the fact that it is scalable will put us into all kinds of different areas. The Compact is particularly well suited for installation projects as well as side fills for the MLA and venues up to 5,000 seats.”

He added, “I think the market expected us to go to a smaller box with the same characteristics, and this is really just the start of how we will deploy this technology.”

R&D director, Jason Baird, provided an in-depth presentation of the system before the two hangs of 12 elements rigged for the occasion were dramatically revealed (along with stacked DSX subs)––courtesy of the excellent production support provided by corporate event specialists, USS.

Reference tracks were used to demonstrate different optimizations — including spoken word (Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy), Jennifer Warnes’ Somebody, Somewhere and a blast of Rammstein.

Guests were then invited to walk the room—including up to the Circle—to experience the consistency of the cellular control, as well as to the back of the stage behind the hangs, where the sound levels were impressively quiet.

Martin Audio’s North American team- Rob Hofkamp (North American Sales Director), Ferrit Rowe (MLA Technical Training Manager), Jim Jorgensen (MLA Support Specialist)—was also on hand for the launch.

Asked about the MLA Compact’s potential in the U.S. and Canada, Hofkamp stated, “The MLA Compact is poised to make a dramatic impact on the U.S. market, both for fixed installations and regional sound companies. Its light weight, scalability and competitive pricing coupled with the power and seamless coverage of MLA technology, make it a market leader right out of the box.”
