This new release from Sound Devices features 6 ultra low-noise mic/line preamplifiers, 8 channels, 6 buses, 12 tracks, 6 analog outputs, a 256 GB internal SSD, two SD card slots, and dual L-Mount charging and powering. A versatile solution for any field production, the 833 features ultra-accurate timecode and Dugan Automixing for up to 8 channels.

Launched at the Las Vegas NAB 2015 show and making its European debut at ProLight+Sound a few days later, the Yamaha RSio64-D I/O Rack is a Dante/Yamaha Mini-YGDAI card interface which provides up to 64 inputs/64 outputs for live sound, broadcast, recording and other professional audio applications.

Although absent for PLASA London’s move to ExCel in 2013, Yamaha returns to the show this year to help fly the flag for the professional sound industry. Yamaha will be highlighting its new RMio64-D Dante/MADI converter for broadcast and live sound applications, as well as the new Version 3 software for CL and QL digital mixing consoles. Both launched at IBC Amsterdam on 12th September, PLASA London will be their first showing at a UK trade event.

The Original Sound Designer. An Interview with Dan Dugan - Audio Engineer, Inventor, and Nature Sounds Recordist. Dan Dugan has spent his entire life involved with audio although, ironically, his first job in the production industry was as a lighting designer. It was when designing the audio for an early 1970s production of the musical Hair that he saw the need for an automated solution to control multiple microphones.
