Merging Technologies' Pyramix 15 Takes Flagship DAW to a Whole New Level

The software DAW market was always a highly competitive space, where many outstanding products have disappeared over the years. Pyramix survived against all odds, and now reappears with renewed strength. Following more than two years of development, Pyramix 15 was released full of new features and enhancements, starting with a completely redesigned interface and a new Mixer with upgraded Strip and Bus Tools, ARA2 support, enhanced monitoring, re-engineered Merging VS3 plugins, a new video engine, and much more.

While Merging Technologies is now under the umbrella of the Sennheiser group and part of Neumann, the Swiss company continues to pursue its activities in the multiple markets that its products address. The high resolution audio pioneer will be present at ISE 2023 focusing on immersive audio and workflow, including its collaboration with FLUX:: Immersive, and introducing the latest updates to its Ovation media server and multimedia control system.

Gary Galo offers a detailed review of Sound Liaison, a small audiophile label based in The Netherlands, with a unique catalog of high-resolution recordings, building “a bridge (liaison) between the studio (engineer and musicians) and the people who love to listen to beautiful music using high quality audio equipment.” A very detailed and enjoyable review that will get you reaching for the label's music.

Merging Technologies announced that it will be showing an Aurender X100 Music Server directly connected to a RAVENNA AoIP network and using a MERGING+NADAC as the DAC. This significant move sees Aurender be the first manufacturer to take advantage of the benefits that a RAVENNA network can bring to home applications, as part of a multi-room or multi-zone system without any of the traditional cable length limitations of USB connectivity.

Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies confirms its new high-quality consumer D/A converter, NADAC, will be introduced at the High End Show in Munich on May 14. Following its success with the Horus and Hapi networked audio interfaces for professional applications, Merging is leveraging its technology also for the consumer market.
