Universal Audio Introduces Apollo x16D Thunderbolt Audio Interface with Dante Networked UAD Processing

Universal Audio seems to have hit the sweet spot with the announcement of the latest audio interface in their Apollo series. Designed for live sound venues and networked recording studios, the new Apollo x16D Thunderbolt Audio Interface with Dante combines the brand's recognized sound quality and expansion for up to 64 channels of realtime UAD plug‑in processing over networked audio, plus support for immersive audio mixing such as for Dolby Atmos.

France-based audio manufacturer AuviTran has adopted Merging Technologies’ ZMAN audio networking module into its brand-new AxC-AES67 interface card, part of its flagship Audio ToolBox Suite. Bringing low-latency and bridging capacities to high performance applications, the AxC-AES67 interface card is fully compatible with AES67 and Ravenna protocols, and supports industry standard SMPTE2110, ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching and NMOS IS-04 + IS-05.

Avid announced the availability of the Pro Tools MTRX SPQ Speaker Processing Card for speaker calibration and bass management. Built for the Pro Tools MTRX audio interface, the SPQ speaker processing option card enables complete control of monitoring systems and enables users to fine tune their mixing environment for a consistent experience across mono, stereo and immersive formats. The card offers precise control to manage bass and EQ monitors, and cue signals for the most challenging music and audio post-production projects.
