leaderRUSHES 24BLACK KNIGHTFEATURE 38DEAN STREET STUDIOSREVIEW 50RUPERT NEVE DESIGNS PORTICOAs ever, the Frankfurt show this year (a combination of Prolight +Sound and Musikmesse) was a truly international showcase fornew gear and new ideas. The long corridors and expansive hallsare notorious for wearing down all but the most resilient souls(and soles), but there is something invigorating about seeing most of the industry’swares in one place. The chance to talk four days away on a subject near to all of ourhearts (new stuff), seals the deal for most attendees.It’s true that the dire economy has put pay to the mass gear launches of Frankfurtspast, though I still had a number of memorable equipment encounters worth recountinghere. For a start, there’s the new Schoeps shotgun microphone – the SuperCMIT. I hada short but enlightening demo on this product, which uses an additional capsule andsome DSP to attenuate extra-polar activity, way past that which a traditional singlecapsule and interference tube can hope to achieve.Also, I sat in on a back-room preview of Steinberg’s up and coming Nuendo 5, whichhas some very welcome and post-friendly additions. Combined with the now-shipping(and Colin Broad-designed) SyncStation, the new version will put to rest any serious-prostatuscredibility doubts that might still be lingering around this mature native DAW.SE Electronics seems unfalteringly bent on world domination, backed up by theannouncement that Andy Munro is now onboard. The possibility of some monitorsthat have been jointly designed by Andy Munro, Rupert Neve, and Siwei Zou hittingthe shelves early in 2011 is an enticing one – if a little previous. Of course, most people’smonitor buying habits are a lot less whimsical and prolific than their microphonepurchasing schedule, but it is still a transducer (one of the only technologies left thatuniquely defines the audio industry) with several leading names behind it, and thus isguaranteed a long, hard stare from the pro audio community.There were plenty of other interesting discussions and new bits – too many to listhere, but ample for our show review on page 13. There were also a few reassuringlyfamiliar Frankfurt traditions being kept up, such as the lack of obvious name badges.The dances that some people perform, to try and work out who they’ve just stoppedto talk to, would, on an appropriately contemporary stage, net them a certificateof commendation. Also, the incredible show directory continues to chew up lesserdirectories that get in its way. It’s now so dense that the middle pages recently qualifiedas a singularity. And for those with the right badges, a press room that Carlsberg canonly dream of is a welcome feature.While several shows are now struggling with a lack of attendees and exhibitors,Frankfurt bounds ever-onwards.Paul Mac, EditorAUDIO MEDIA is a Sustaining Member of the Audio Engineering Society.AUDIO MEDIAwww.audiomedia.comAUDIO MEDIA (Europe), 1st Floor, 1 Cabot House,Compass Point Business Park, St Ives, Cambs, PE27 5JL.Telephone: +44 (0)1480 461555 – Facsimile: +44 (0)1480 461550General E-mail: mail@audiomedia.com – Press Release E-mail: pr@audiomedia.comManaging Director/CirculationAngela Browna.brown@audiomedia.comGroup Publisher EuropeRaffaela Calabreser.calabrese@broadcast.itEditor In ChiefPaul Macp.mac@audiomedia.comNews/AMSR EditorJo Fletcher-Crossjfcross@audiomedia.comProduction EditorLanna Marshalll.marshall@audiomedia.comDesign & Production ManagerJohn-Paul Shirreffsjp.shirreffs@audiomedia.comEuropean Sales ManagerGraham Kirkg.kirk@audiomedia.comRegional Sales ManagerBob Kennedybkennedy@imaspub.com+44 (0)1279 861264US Sales ManagerDave Carsondcarson@nbmedia.com+1 615 776 1359Subscriptionssubs@audiomedia.comUK £43European (airmail) £60International (airmail) £72Payable in Sterling through UK bankRUSHES26MITCHELL & TODD 301A MONITORSThe contents of this publication are subject to worldwide copyright protection and reproduction in whole or in part, whether mechanical or electronic, isexpressly forbidden without the prior written consent of the Publishers.
