Merging Technologies, the innovative Swiss manufacturer of digital audio solutions, has announced a new software configuration for its Anubis compact AD/DA converter and audio network recording interface.

Listen Technologies has launched the next generation of its audio-over-Wi-Fi solution at InfoComm 2023 and rebranded the solution as ListenWIFI.

It was all about evolution of concepts, products and technology for Sennheiser at InfoComm 2016. Among several interesting demonstrations, Sennheiser promoted its MobileConnect assistive listening concept, offering the ability to stream live audio to mobile devices via the MobileConnect App. Sennheiser’s solution consists of a streaming server providing the audio stream over WiFi, which users can connect to via the MobileConnect app on their own smartphone. Applications are unlimited.
