Audio-Technica’s first entry into digital wireless was SpectraPulse, a specialized system for secure conferencing applications. Now with the new System 10, A-T has brought digital wireless into a simple format at popular price points. System 10 is not a professional touring wireless microphone system, like the company’s 4000 and 5000 Series, yet it implements some impressive technology in an easy-to-use package. The system sounds good and contains a variety of integral features that solve common wireless performance and coordination problems.…

This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. This week I bought the Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter from the Apple Store to add an extra Firewire 800 port to my iMac. I’d been planning on getting one since they were announced along with the Retina Macbooks in the summer. At $29, is it just another overpriced white plastic Apple accessory? I wouldn’t say it’s overpriced. At this time it’s the cheapest thunderbolt accessory and the only way to…

This is a review of FiRe 2 - Field Recorder from Audiofile Engineering (developers of Quiztones). There are all sorts of occasions when you might need to make a quick audio recording – catching a moment of musical inspiration while just noodling and humming away on your guitar, demoing a song for other band members, recording an ambient sound while out and about to add to your sound effect library or to use as the basis for a weird and…

This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. It seems like every few weeks there is some new piece of audio software that claims to make your music bigger, louder, deeper, and more bad-ass in every way. Every new plug-in is announced as a total game changer. Like that means something… Steven Slate’s Virtual Console Collection (VCC) is one of those so-called game changing plug-ins. There was so much hype about this product that I was completely put off…

This is a review of Quiztones, frequency ear training apps for Mac & iOS from Audiofile Engineering. NOTE: Quiztones is also now available for Android. As engineers, we all have particular strengths and weaknesses. Some are musically gifted and play multiple instruments, while others naturally take to composition. However, what about the most basic of skills - our hearing? Unless you have absolute pitch or synesthesia, we’re all playing with the hand dealt to us a birth. The only thing…

The M-480 digital console is a primary component in the steadily expanding V-Mixing system family from Roland Systems Group that also includes other console models, as well as digital snakes, personal mixers, protocol interfaces and the new R-1000 multi-track digital recorder. The M-480 is the largest console in the series (other models include the 400, 380 and 300), offering 48 mixing channels plus 6 stereo returns (for a total of 60 channels), left/center/right outputs, 16 aux buses and 8 matrices.…

This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 caught my attention right away. Compact, striking appearance and simple layout. I have recommended the interface to dozens of people. While I appreciate the extra I/O my TC Impact Twin provides, its just too big and bulky for a mobile interface. At a third of the size of the Impact Twin, and less than half the cost, the 2i2 jumped to the top of my gear wish…

Times are tight. The last thing most of us want to do right now is spend scarce church funds on new audio equipment. The solution, however, lies not in completely shutting the door, but in setting clear priorities, choosing carefully, and investing wisely. In doing a complete inventory of what we have that works well, works OK, and works horribly to the point of seriously compromising our primary goal of the Word being heard. Because right now, as we grapple…
