NEW PRODUCT! DSF-2 Broadcast Microphone System



The DSF-2 Broadcast Microphone System has been specifically developed to simultaneously provide both the surround and stereo soundscape at large scale outside broadcast events such as football stadiums and concert hall venues. Its advantage over alternative methods is that the multichannel audio it generates from a ‘single point’ source is completely phase coherent. This enables the broadcaster to collapse the surround to stereo or mono for TV and radio feeds without loss of information, frequency imbalance or any of the other phase problems associated with spaced microphones or multi capsule ‘dummy head’ arrangements.

SP451 Surround Sound Processor
The SP451 offers a rugged 1U rackmount hardware alternative to the Surround Zone plug-in. It is favoured by those wishing to bypass computers and DAW’s and commit up to eight tracks of surround sound directly to digital recorders ‘live’ as the performance takes place. It can also be used ‘stand alone’ in post-production where from pre-recorded B-Format material it will output a 5.1 surround mix and stereo mix simultaneously. It generates up to three surround mic arrays with differing polar pattern combinations for instant comparison. Front panel controls include individual 5.1 channel levels and metering with variable Front Width, Rear Width and Rear Pattern for each mic array. The SP451 has B-Format inputs (W, X, Y & Z) and eight surround outputs. Input/outputs are balanced XLR at line level.
