The DC 24 MultiLFunctionDy, ñíamic Controller.OUTPUTother designs give you "either.'or." TheDC 24 gives you "AND ": Two limiters ANDtwo compressors AND two gates AND a built -incrossover, all in one compact unit.A NEW SERVO -LOCK LIMITER DESIGN meansmore transparent limiting no matter howdrastically the program material changes frommoment to moment. Our servo -locking circuit issmart enough to continuously maintain just theright ratio necessary to guarantee flawless control.SEPARATE COMPRESSION CONTROLS allowyou to dial in the perfect amount of dynamics youwant, independently of the limiter. Extremely low -noise, low distortion VCAs guarantee a level ofperformance that will satisfy the most demandingrecording or broadcast requirements.THE INDEPENDENT EXPANDER /NOISE GATEScan be adjusted to tighten percussion or turn offbackground hum and noise, without effecting anyof the other dynamic control operations.A BUILT -IN 4TH ORDER CROSSOVERtransforms the DC 24 into a bi -amp crossover/processor all -in -one. You can minimize feedback,maximize speaker protection and saveconsiderably on equipment costs. Or use the DC24 as a band -split mono controller to obtain moreconsistent broadcast or recording signal strengthwith less "pumping" and "breat1ing"Why put up with the expense and bulk ofhandling 3 or 4 conventional units? Get greaterprecision and more versatility w th fewer sideeffects, all packed into a single compact unit.Experience a whole new dimensior in dynamiccontrol from Rane.RANE]Rane Corporation10802 -47th Ave. W.

AKG CAP 340 MThe AKG CAP 340 M is a digitalaudio signal processor that findsapplications for digital recording,acoustic simulation/design andpsychoacoustical research.The CAP 340 M consists of theprocessing unit, the host interface,the host computer (Hewlett- Packard)and the audio interface. The dataformat of the processing unit is 32 bitfloating point providing a S/N ratioof 140 dB and is available with 20 to340 MFLOPS of computing power.The audio interface contains the A/Dconverter with an incoming dataformat of 16 +3 bit and sampling rateselectable from 50/48/44.1 kHz.The `blank slate' approach of theprocessor allows a wide range ofpossibilities: a digital mixing consolewith eight binaural input channelswith level, elevation, pan, delay timeand channel -on controls; a user -definable multiband equaliser withlittle or no phase shift; AngleDependent Filtering (ADF) and DelayTime (DT), a program thatcompensates for the differencesbetween a main stereo pair ofmicrophones (in any configuration)and spot microphones. Other stereomix/placement configurations are alsopossible; acoustic design by roomstimulation. A room can be drawn togiven or ideal dimensions and treatedas required while being fed with asound source that is heard all thetime. Both the source and the`microphone' can be moved to anylocation within the room;psychoacoustical research such aslistening tests, sound sourcelocalisation, timbre of sounds andfilter design.A full graphics display accompanieseach function for greater clarity.AKG Akustische U Kino-GerateGmbH, Brunhildengasse 1, 1150Vienna, Austria.

Other features includetransformer -balanced inputs withISO -input to eliminate earth (ground)loops, a minimum load impedance of212/channel and switched inputattenuators.Pearl microphonesRecently released are several newmicrophones: TL-4, MS2 /8 and CC30.The TL-4 studio microphonefeatures a double membrane systemwith two amplifiers, rectangularmembranes for even response andfreedom from resonances andtransformerless amplifiers with highoutput level (3.6 V maximum instereo mode). It can be used in avariety of configurations includingomnidirectional, figure -of- eight, twinor single cardioid, 180° stereo andtrue MS. Frequency response is 16 Hzto 20 kHz. A variety of accessories isavailable including the PDV-8preamplifier /control unit for directconnection to the recorder.The MS2 /MS8 are stereo condenserPower ratings are 300/600 W into812 respectively.

A 16 -input extender frame isalso produced.The console features transformer -less low noise input circuitry, 4 -bandEQ with parametric mid bands,channel gain metering, eightAmek MozartAmek have introduced the Mozartrecording console, which is the resultof two years research into therequirements of studios usingSMPTE/MIDI- locked setups, retriggeringand tapeless recording.The design incorporates facilities thatwere developed for the APC console,together with new developments suchas more in -depth automation.The console is controlled from acentral alpha- numeric keyboard witha tracker ball and is available instandard frame sizes of 40, 56 or 80input channels. All frames include 12stereo effects returns of which threehave full multitrack routing. Thereare also four `wild' VCA faders thatcan be assigned to returns asrequired for mixdown.The Mozart is based around threemain concepts: integral automation,all -input format channel modules andan increased number of auxiliarysends.The automation forms an integralpart of the console and the design forthe fader and mixdown automationsystem has been developed incollaboration with Steinberg ofGermany. A feature of the system isthat is provides an extremelycomprehensive cue list facility (forSMPTE /Audio/MIDI- triggered events)over and above the control of faders,mutes, groups, snapshots and VCAfader curves.The console setup (switch setups,knob positions, etc) for a session canbe stored into memory and this isknown as a Page (or Master Consolestatus). Up to 99 Pages can be storedand these can be loaded in sequenceand called up as required manuallyor via external control through MIDIand RS -232 ports.Due to the complicated control ofthe channel switching (15 perchannel), special ICs known assubgroups with 2 -way matrix, stereomaster buses, eight auxiliary sends,eight mute groups and other familiarMidas facilities. The auxiliary andgroup buses can be reversed in orderto configure the XL Two as a houseor stage monitor console as required.Midas /Klark -Teknik Research Ltd,Klark Industrial Park, WalterNash Road, Kidderminster, WorcsDY11 7HJ, UK.

Fax:(516) 420-1863.Applications Specific ICs weredeveloped and two are used perchannel.The all -input channel modulefeatures four inputs- mic/line/bus/tape- together with a DI input whichis similar to line but with a gainstructure more suited to instruments.The EQ section is 4 -band withparametric mid frequencies andincreased boost and cut for theHF/LF sections.The Mozart features 16 auxiliarysends, which are addressed from fourmono and two stereo pots. Sends 7and 8 also have an Alternate Inputswitch for the routing of anunselected input to the stereo ormultitrack buses. All routing andauxiliary buses are balanced with 32multitrack buses fitted as standard.An additional feature is an in -linemonitor channel module and bothchannel types can be used in thesame frame for added flexibility. Thein -line module is largely along thesame lines as the all -input channelwith the exception that sends 7 and 8become the monitor section and thatthe EQ section can be split betweenthe channel and monitor paths.The console has also been designedwith an eye to film/television post -production and the in -line moduleprovides for 4- channel mixes(left /right:front /rear) by being able toconvert the monitor panpot intofront/rear pan. The pan centre is alsodropped to -6 dB for betterdefinition.Amek Systems and Controls Ltd,New Islington Mill, RegentTrading Estate, Oldfield Road,Salford M5 4SX, UK. Tel: 061.8346747.
