Join us on September 26 at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, Calif. for this special one-day event. Immersive Sound is a fast-moving technology. Capturing the attention of both creative teams and moviegoing audiences just a few short years ago, Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D and DTS MDA have all undergone constant updates and forays into new markets, including TV and streaming playback. The art of sound design is wide open, and the creatives are taking their immersive tracks to new levels. But there will still be plenty about immersive formats and technologies!

| | Feature Story | Compact Line Arrays for Installation
It's not uncommon to see the same sound reinforcement gear found on major tours used in large churches and other fixed installations where great sound is paramount. But the high-end goods, especially loudspeakers, are not only too big to hang in some venues, but they also bring more power than you'd need to cover a small space. Manufacturers have answered the call for higher-end speaker solutions for use in clubs, small houses of worship, hotels, corporate event centers by scaling down larger rigs to more manageable sizes and prices. This month's feature is an A to Z roundup of compact line arrays with woofers that measure 9 inches or less that are currently shipping. |

DPA Microphones has launched a new Tabletop Shock Mount ($145), the TSM4001, for use with its d:screet and d:dicate Podium Microphones. The shock-mount, which complements the sleek design of DPA's existing products, promises the best shock rejection of any podium mount on the market. With vertical softness that absorbs handling vibrations, horizontal movements are controlled to prevent the podium boom from coming in direct contact with the mount. Optimized for the weight and dimensions of each of the d:screet and d:dicate mics and booms, the mounts fit plate thicknesses of .3- to 1.5-inches (eight to 38 mm). The mounts are easy to affix, requiring approximately 2- to 2.5-inch (55 to 59 mm) opening, and can be custom-ordered with a variety of finishes to match the surrounding furniture or architectural structure | | | PreSonus Hardware and Software Compatible with Windows 10
