Soundcraft unveiled its Signature Series and Signature Series Multi-Track analog mixing consoles at the 2015 NAMM Show. The new Signature Series consoles are available in four frame sizes: 10-channel, 12-channel, 16-channel, and 22-channel while the Signature Series Multi-Track consoles are available in 12-channel (14-in/12-out USB interface) and 22-channel (24-in/22-out USB interface).

Following the acclaimed launch of the model 676 Tube Mic Pre Channel Strip, dbx once again turns its attention toward the project studio market with five new 500 series processors. The new dbx 500 Series models include the 560A Compressor/Limiter, 530 Parametric EQ, 580 Mic Pre, 520 De-Esser and 510 Sub Harmonic Synth.

Harman confirmed the acquisition of SM Pro Audio, based in Melbourne, Australia. The company was incorporated into the Harman Professional Division as a developer of pro audio and musical instruments (MI). At the 2015 NAMM Show, Harman launched the new Soundcraft Ui Series of remote-controlled digital mixers, featuring an integrated, onboard Wi-Fi router, as previously introduced by SM Pro Audio in April 2014.

THAT Corporation, manufacturer of high-quality integrated circuits to the pro audio industry, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. THAT was founded in 1989 through a management buyout of the dbx OEM division by senior managers and engineers. Currently, THAT designs and sells high-performance analog integrated circuits for professional audio manufacturers.

Everyone else’s doing it, so why shouldn’t an historic brand like dbx do it as well? With the new model 676 Tube Mic Pre Channel Strip, HARMAN’s dbx offers a Class A vacuum tube-based microphone preamplifier combined with its classic compressor/limiter designs and dynamics processing in a vintage-style solution.

Harman’s dbx announced the introduction of its AFS2 Advanced Feedback Suppression Processor at InfoComm 2014 in Las Vegas. Successor to the popular AFS224, the AFS2 provides state-of-the-art feedback elimination using an all-new DSP module for faster and more focused filter sets in both fixed and live mode.
