ProAudio Review - October 2008 - (Page 40) The latest news and products NEW PRODUCTS BRICASTI Design Model 7 — Enhanced Version Bricasti Design has announced new enhancements to the Model 7 Stereo Reverb Processor and the new Model 10 Remote Console. The Model 7’s V2.0 software includes two new Soundstages, each of which is calculated off-line over the course of several months based on a specified acoustic model; it is the foundation of all M7 presets. V2.0 also features Bricasti’s Second Algorithm, which brings the next evolutionary step to perceptual or larger than life spaces. The new Model 10 is a dedicated hardware remote controller for use with the M7. “Sharing a consistent human interface with the Model 7 was an important design goal,” says Brian Zolner, company president and co-founder. “Consequently, the Model 10’s control surface is simple, elegant and easy to use. The M10 puts control where and when you want it — at the critical sweet spot — while making acoustically sensitive adjustments within any mixing environment.” PRICE: $3,695 (Model 7) CONTACT: Bricasti |¤ 781-306-0420 · www.bricasti.com NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS POST Euphonix reports a sales surge of System 5-MC Integrated DAW Controllers in Europe led by Studio Hamburg, which had installed a 48fader system, the largest in Germany. ?Owned by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), Studio Hamburg Post Production GmbH services all aspects of post-production including, video and audio editing, formatconversion, audio mixing and layback.
