The compact Solo 8 brings a new near-field monitoring experience to smaller environments and offers a portable solution to those who insist on having genuine Augspurger monitoring for their remote projects. Each compact Solo 8 cabinet (16"W x 20.675"H x 17.5"D) utilizes an 8" carbon fiber-loaded paper cone low/mid woofer ensuring tight bass and clean focused midrange performance. A 4" 99.97% pure beryillium diaphragm is matched to Augspurger's proven MidFocus "MF" solid rock maple horn, found on their other MF series monitors. The Solo 8 is powered by an Augspurger D-Class DSP plate amp delivering 500W LF/250W HF horn, ensuring plenty of headroom with very low distortion. On-board DSP allows for personalized and optimized acoustic room integration. Visitors can see and hear the new Solo 8 at Booth 15106.

These D-Class rack-mount amplifiers with DSP offer a solution that rivals their renowned plate amps in sound quality, power and ruggedness. The SXE-3D is a 3-way powerhouse which can drive up to 2500W RMS (@4ohms) to the subwoofer band, ensuring nearly limitless dynamics while supporting the Low/Mid band with 800W and the HF channel with 400W RMS! Features include 120 dB of dynamic range, ultra-low IM distortion and THD=N, and audiophile quality 24-bit/96kHz ADC/DAC with low .06ms latency. The SXE series is fully networkable and well-suited for any multichannel audio environment, with DSP control via the front panel LCD display or computer driven network (Ethernet) DSP. Augspurger's internal use targets their Classic 215H-Sub18/218 flush-mounted system and any of Augspurger's large main monitor systems. Booth: #15106 Web: augspurger.com
Back To Top | | New MasterCheck Pro version 1.5 NUGEN Audio's award winning MasterCheck Pro is a loudness, dynamics and codec toolset that supports engineers in optimizing their mix for music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. Version 1.5 will be introduced at NAMM with two enhancements: First will be support for Apple AAC iTunes+ codec variation in OSX for engineers participating in MFIT (Mastered for iTunes). MasterCheck Pro now provides real-time monitoring of the native Apple codec. Second is an update to the PLR/PSR dynamics meter. Since absolute loudness is no longer competitive in streaming due to loudness normalization, optimizing dynamics makes music stand out. NUGEN Audio joined an AES panel of experts to write an engineering brief encouraging consistency in dynamics visualization and measurement through standardization of the PLR & PSR (Peak to Loudness Ratio, Peak to Short-term loudness Ratio) measurements. MasterCheck Pro 1.5 fully meets these new recommendations. Booth: #14005 Web: www.nugenaudio.com Back To Top | | RCF Expands Popular EVOX Portable P.A. Systems with EVOX J Series RCF altered the landscape of portable PA with the EVOX system. RCF takes it one step further with the new EVOX J Series. The EVOX J8 features a satellite module with eight 2" full-range drivers paired with a 12" woofer in a bass reflex enclosure. Powered by on-board 1400W Class D amplification. The EVOX J Series maintains a similar footprint to the original EVOX systems, now in a portable composite enclosure. The system offers stunning sound performance with crystal clear vocal reproduction and unparalleled musical response. And taking the EVOX J Series one step further, the JMIX8 adds an 8-input Digital Mixer with Bluetooth. The onboard processing power of the innovative DSP provides not only full mix functions, it includes high-quality instrument FX and AMP simulations. All managed by an EVOX iOS/Android-compatible app. The all-in-one solution and easy set-up and transportation make the EVOX the perfect workmate for musicians. RCF will be introducing the new EVOX J Series at NAMM January 25-28. Come see the EVOX J Series at RCF booth #18310.

The HDL30-A is high powered, lightweight, easy to array offering full-range frequency linear response. A compact, 2200-watt bi-amped two-way cabinet, the HDL30-A features two neodymium 10" woofers coupled with a 4" voice coil high-frequency compression driver mounted on a time coherent 100°x15° waveguide. RCF has specifically matched each component for better clarity and performance. The HDL30-A incorporates FiRPHASE DSP a proprietary and advanced FIR filtering technology that optimizes dynamics, amplitude and phase patterns ensuring transparent sound and absolute clarity. And includes RCF's RDNet onboard allowing for continuous monitoring of the entire system, providing abiity to customize system configurations, and set EQs as well as adjust gain and delay settings. RCF will be showing the HDL30-A with a concert presentation on Saturday, January 27 at NAMM 2018. The event will be by invitation only to NAMM attendees. Passes will be available at RCF booth #18310.

The content-sensitive plug-in analyzes audio signals, interprets them musically and compensates spectral imbalances in real-time. Custom-made profiles add even more flexibility by optimizing the smart algorithm for different source signals. The profiles tell the algorithm what kind of instrument or voice it deals with and prime it for the mixing task at hand. That way, smart:EQ live helps you to concentrate on what's important and to creatively focus on your (live) mix.
