Presonus StudioLive 18SAI/312AI/328AI Review

PRODUCT REVIEW - November 4, 2014 Presonus StudioLive 18SAI/312AI/328AI Review By John McJunkin In some ways, the term “speaker-on- a-stick” has become a bit of a pejorative—used, sometimes unfairly, to express disdain for prosumer or consumer-level gear that is not deemed worthy for critical applications. Numerous manufacturers offer such speakers, but some offer higher-end products featuring bleeding-edge technology that helps deliver exceptional results.

VOTE NOW>> WEBINAR Crash Course: Realities of Integrating Audio Networks with Dante Is Interoperability Practical? Nov. 18, 2:00pm EST Things are moving fast in digital audio networking. More products can play together on the network—or can they? AV and IT are working better together—or are they? Is it really possible to confidently specify and install an audio network? This webcast will provide an update on where Dante networking, switches, and endpoints stand today, what can (and cannot) be done now, and what is still in the future. The webcast will include an overview presentation on realities/misunderstandings around Dante networks, as well as a close look at real Dante-based audio networks that have been installed in the real world. We'll look the switches and endpoints that were used and why, and how the networks were designed, integrated, commissioned and troubleshooted. Finally we'll look at the options for configuring and commissioning systems through software.
