In response to Avid’s introduction of its AAX plugin
format, CEDAR Audio has announced DNS One
AAX, an AAX Native plug-in that combines the DNS
One process with the DNS CS remote control for
the DNS2000 and DNS3000. Compatible with the
latest Pro Tools 10 systems, DNS One AAX retains
the zero latency of previous versions and offers the
same noise suppression as the DNS1000, DNS1500,
DNS2000 and DNS3000. Pricing remains unchanged
from previous (RTAS and Audiosuite) versions.

Millennia has released the HV-37. Based on
Millennia’s HV-3 preamp circuit, the Millennia
resonances and audio aberrations that could be
transmitted to the microphone.
Also debuting at the show was its new System 10
digital wireless system. Operating in the 2.4 GHz
range, it offers instantaneous channel selection,
sync and set up. Up to eight channels may be used
together without any frequency co-ordination
problems or group selection issues. System 10
receivers and transmitters have an easy-to-read
digital ID display. The system is aimed at houses
of worship, musicians and corporate applications,
with an economical price point. System 10 ensures
clear communications by providing three levels
of diversity assurance: frequency, time and space.
Frequency Diversity sends the signal on two
dynamically allocated frequencies for interferencefree
communication. Time Diversity sends the
signal in multiple time slots to maximise immunity
to multipath interference. Finally, Space diversity
uses two antennae on each transmitter and receiver
to maximise signal integrity.

Dynacord’s new A-Line mobile loudspeaker family
offers three active and three passive models,
comprising one 12-inch and one 15-inch two-way/
full-range system, and an 18-inch subwoofer, in
both active and passive versions. The A112A and
A115A models can either be pole-mounted or
stacked on top of the subwoofer. Each of the two
way/full-range models has a Class D two-channel
digital power amplifier and state-of-the-art signal
processing. The integrated FIR filters result in a more
linear frequency response and less overlapping in
the crossover region.

Electrovoice has introduced the latest member of its
ZX loudspeaker family. The passive ZX1-Sub features
a 12-inch EVS-12S woofer which operates in the
42Hz to 200 Hz (-10dB) frequency range and has
a frequency response of 53Hz-125Hz (-3dB). The
nominal impedance of the subwoofer is eight ohms
and its maximum sound pressure level is 127dB. The
ZX1-Sub’s two recessed NL4-type connectors are
wired in parallel, meaning the input signal can be
looped through and making it possible to operate
full-range loudspeakers with the ZX1-Sub using a
single amplifier channel.

iZotope Provides Insight
iZotope has released Insight, a metering suite
for post production and broadcast applications.
Insight provides a full suite of audio analysis and
metering tools, for visualising changes made
during mixing and mastering, troubleshooting
problematic mixes, and ensuring compliance with
broadcast loudness standards. Fully customisable
and scalable, it allows the user to visually monitor
all relevant information from a stereo or surround
mix in a floating window. Insight provides level
meters, a spectrogram, spectrum analyser,
vectorscope, surround scope and a loudness
history graph. “Visualizations of audio have always
played a major role in our products and with the
recent onset of loudness standards across the
world, we saw a challenge to encompass a suite of
essential meters into a single plug-in,” said iZotope
Product Manager, Brett Bunting.”
