Receiving their European debuts on the HHB stand are the new Wohler AMP1-16-3G AMP1-E16-3G compact audio monitoring systems. Occupying just a single unit of rack space and therefore ideal for use in applications where space is at a premium, both devices offer 16 channel, multi-rate HD/SD-SDI and AES audio monitoring, plus the facility to handle next generation 3G sources. The AMP1-E16-3G adds Dolby E and Dolby D capability.
Also new from Wohler is the RMT-170-HD, a 17" high-definition desktop/ rackmount LCD monitor featuring dual HD-SD/SDI inputs with loop through.
Another important new development being shown for the first time on the HHB stand is the M-48/S-4000D personal monitoring system from Roland. Using the REAC pipe and further expanding a range of live production solutions that already includes the V-Mixer M-400 and S-4000 Digital Snake, the M-48 Live Personal Mixer offers musicians the flexibility to control exactly what they listen to during their performances.
HHB is also debuting the new Soundfield UPM-1, a 19-inch rack processor designed to create 5.1 surround from archive programme material which only has a stereo soundtrack. In addition to this application as a production tool, the UPM-1 can also be used to upmix stereo for 5.1 HD transmissions.
Available both in print and online formats, the 2009/10 HHB is hot off the press. Visiting delegates are invited to collect their free copy at the HHB stand, where they can also enter a free competition to win a UDP-89 DVD/CD Player.
