PRODUCTS Danley Cinema Line Loudspeakers & Subs Danley Sound Labs has launched the Cinema Line of loudspeakers, subwoofers, and DSP- enabled multi-channel amplifiers. The largest models in the Cinema Line of loudspeakers are the CJ-1894 and CSH-1196, which are capable of reproducing reference-monitor fidelity at up to 142 and 136dB SPL continuous output, respectively. Intermediate loudspeakers include the CSH-996 and CSH-496, which would be useful in a range of applications from large to small theatres, depending on the output needs of the channels they’re used for. The smaller CS-100S and CS-8CX are ideal for smaller theatres or surround sound channels at up to 120 and 115dB SPL, respectively. The CS-100S is built with a 20-degree down angle for simple surround sound installation. The Cinema Line subwoofers include the CBC-418, which is capable of 148dB SPL of continuous, directed low-frequency energy for large theatres. At 142dB SPL continuous, the intermediate CBC-218 approaches the output of its larger sibling, and the smaller CTH-118XL and CTH-50 subwoofers are fit for large to small theatres depending on requirements.

DANLEY CJ-1894 Digico Mustard for Quantum 7 Digico has introduced Mustard, a new set of algorithms and options for channel strip processing for the Quantum 7 processing engine in the SD7 console. Mustard is designed to offer enhanced flexibility and choice when extra control and creative adjustment is needed within a mix. Making full use of the Quantum engine’s seventh-generation FPGA infrastructure, the Mustard channel can be used in conjunction with the standard SD processing to add preamp, filters, EQ, gate, and a selection of compressor types to any existing channel strip. The Mustard Tube options include a fully-controllable Pre-Amp Modeler, which gives users access to every aspect of their front-end drive, while the Mustard Dynamics include Vintage VCA and Optical compressor types that emulate some of the best-known devices. This enables users to add classic character and new textures to drums, bass, vocals, and guitars.

Genelec Aural ID Software Technology Genelec has introduced its Aural ID software technology, which it says will improve the trustworthiness of headphone listening. Aural ID works by acquiring a person’s exclusive acoustic attributes to cre- ate a detailed modeling of their unique anatomical features affecting hearing, which can then be compensated for. The company says this enables the delivery of more truthful and reliable sound when headphones are employed for reproduction. Aural ID calculates the user’s personal Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF), which describes the acoustical properties of the head, upper torso, and external ear – elements that interact in complex ways to affect sounds reaching the eardrums. Aural ID then computes all these elements and creates a personal data file characterizing the modification to sound arriving from any azimuth and elevation. This file enables an audio engine to precisely render stereo or immersive content via headphones.
