RØDE Announces Acquisition of Iconic Audio Brand Aphex

Australian pro-audio company RØDE Microphones announced the acquisition of legendary US audio technology manufacturer, Aphex, well known for its range of audio signal processing equipment that features various proprietary technologies including the iconic “Aural Exciter”.

On what appears to be a new trend in the AV market, German microphone manufacturer beyerdynamic launched its own digital signal processor, in this case, with AVB network connectivity. The new beyerdynamic Coretis DSP targets professional installations with useful integrated features like audio routing and auto mixing.

QSC is featuring their new GXD Series Processing Amplifiers for entertainment and production applications at the 2015 Winter NAMM show. The new GXD Series Class-D amplifiers combines complete loudspeaker DSP processing capabilities with multiple routing options and advanced protection circuitry at very affordable prices.

AudioControl announced the addition of new volume control functions to its multi-channel network amplifiers, The Director Model D3400 and D4400. Both models now have the ability to increase and decrease volume levels incrementally in each zone, set volume level on a per group basis and set a default “Maximum On Volume” function, expanding the application potential of The Director series considerably.
