JoeCo has released the latest
addition to its award-winning BlackBox
family of live multi-channel audio
recorders and players - the new
ﬂagship BlackBox BBR1MP Recorder.
The 24-channel, standalone, live audio
acquisition solution delivers all the
standard BlackBox functionality, while
featuring 24 high-quality in-house
developed microphone preamps,
operating at up to 24bit/96kHz, which
are integrated into the recorder's tiny
1U housing.
Primarily
designed
with
the
broadcast engineer and sound
location recordist in mind, the BBR1MP
Recorder offers a range of connection
options
including
individually
switchable mic/line inputs, balanced

optional 2U breakout panel with XLR
connectors. System components are
available individually or as part of a
bundle.
"Customers have been seeking a
more compact complete solution
to their multi-track audio recording
needs and the BBR1MP will ﬁll this gap
in the market admirably. Squeezing
this many high-quality mic preamps
into such a compact solution has been
a challenge but we are thrilled with the
results," says JoeCo's MD Joe Bull.

Matrox Monarch HD is a small,
"easy-to-use" H.264 encoder designed
for professional video producers who
need to simultaneously stream a live
event and record a mastering-quality
version for post-event editing. From
any HDMI input source such as a
camera or switcher, Matrox Monarch
HD generates an H.264-encoded
stream compliant with RTSP or RTMP
protocol. While encoding the video at
bitrates suitable for live streaming,
Matrox Monarch HD simultaneously
records a high-quality MP4 or MOV
ﬁle to an SD card, a USB drive, or a
network-mapped drive.
The Monarch SDK, an HTTPbased API, includes documentation
and sample code that let AV and
broadcast equipment developers write
applications to conﬁgure and control

way to include a high-quality

ISE 2016
Integrated Systems Events has
conﬁrmed that its 2016 event will
take place over four consecutive
days at the RAI exhibition centre in
Amsterdam - an increase of one day
on the previous ISE exhibitions held
at the venue.
This decision, stated ISE Managing
Director Mike Blackman, was largely
due to the exhibition's "rapid rise in
size and prominence."
He added: "This move has largely
been driven by the demands of our
exhibitors and attendees," Blackman
commented. "Quite simply, the
extremely high attendance at the
show, particularly on the ﬁrst two
days, saw increasing requests from
exhibitors to have more time to
spend with attendees."

Launched at the AES show in Los
Angeles, Lawo's newest mc² series
console, The mc²36 is an all-in-one
mixing desk, with a comprehensive
feature set that covers broadcast,
theatre, house of worship, live and
install applications. The console comes
completely self-contained including
a powerful DSP processing core and
all I/O connections and is available in
16, 24 and 40 fader conﬁgurations.
Ease of use is paramount, with large
touchscreen displays that provide
instant, touch triggered pop-up menus
for fast access to all mixing and

controller, which allows operators to
easily start and stop streaming and
recording from within the familiar
Crestron interface.
Shure has introduced the QLX-D
Digital Wireless System. Delivering
"exceptional wireless performance
with transparent 24-bit digital audio",
QLX-D features networked control and

compatibility with Shure's intelligent
rechargeable battery technology.
QLX-D Digital Wireless transmits
accurate audio with extended, ﬂat
frequency response. The system's
automatic channel scan and IR sync
make ﬁnding and assigning an open
frequency quick and easy.
"This system packs in a lot of
sophistication and delivers incredible
wireless audio performance. It has
outstanding spectrum efﬁciency and
frequency bands covering up to 72
MHz, allowing QLX-D users to operate
more channels on-air than with any
other wireless system in its class,"
said Erik Vaveris, Wireless Category
Director at Shure. "QLX-D uses the
same technology as our high end
digital wireless systems in a more
affordable package with a streamlined
feature set."
On
a
nostalgic
note,
to
commemorate the 75th anniversary
of the 55 Unidyne microphone, Shure
is launching the 5575LE - a Limited
Edition of the classic cardioid dynamic
microphone with a few carefully
chosen 21st-century upgrades to
improve durability and sound quality.
Sommer Cable, the specialist in
professional cable and connection
technology, is expanding its product
portfolio with the addition of a
high-performance hybrid cable: the
Transit MC 1031. The new cable allows
the simultaneous 10 Gbit network,
power and HD-SDI-compliant video
transmission. The robust and shielded
cable is perfectly suited for use in
conference and building technology,
in OB vans as well as in mobile
broadcasting at large events.
"With the Transit MC 1031 we have
developed a compact hybrid cable
which is up to the daily strains in
professional environments. Despite
its three inner conductors it is highly
ﬂexible, so you can easily bend or reel
it," emphasises Pascal Miguet, Product
Manager with Sommer Cable.
The new cable provides a hassle-free
transmission over distances exceeding
100m due to low damping values, but
also relies on a special ﬂame-retardant
PVC jacket. Therefore the new hybrid
cable can dependably withstand even
heavy-duty usage in extreme heat or
severe frost.
