Yamaha Professional Audio announces an important new addition to the RIVAGE professional audio lineup: the RIVAGE PM7Digital Mixing System. The core of the RIVAGE PM7 system includes the CSD-R7 Digital Mixing Console, TWINLANe-based RPio622 and RPio222 I/O Racks , and Dante based Rio3224-D2 and Rio1608-D2 I/O Racks.

The CSD-R7 Digital Mixing Console is the central component of the RIVAGE PM7 system, positioned directly below the current RIVAGE PM10 Digital Mixing System. With an emphasis of preserving workflow, the CSD-R7 is the same size as the RIVAGE PM10 system CS-R10 control surface but with the DSP engine built into the console offering enhanced portability and system flexibility while maintaining high operability. The panel layout of the RIVAGE PM7 is the same as the flagship RIVAGE PM10, delivering the same user experience. With 120 input channels, 60 mix buses, 24 matrices, and a comprehensive selection of 48 top-quality plug-ins, the PM7 provides mixing capacity that is comparable to the RIVAGE PM10 (the latter has 144 input channels, 72 mix buses, 36 matrices, and 50 plug-ins). A Dual Console function also allows the CSD-R7 to be connected to one of the RIVAGE PM10 system control surfaces (CS-R10 or CS-R10-S). A CS-R10-S, for example, can be used at front of house, for monitors, or as a sidecar expansion console for the CSD-R7, depending on space and system scale requirements.

The CSD-R7 Digital Mixing Console offers connectivity with two types of audio networks, allowing either or both to be used for connection and control of I/O Rack units. The dedicated TWINLANe network uses optical cable to handle up 400 channels of audio. Combinations of the RPio622 and/or RPio222 I/O racks and HY256-TL or HY256-TL-SMF audio interface cards allow input via Hybrid Microphone Preamplifiers with analog input stages that take the Yamaha “natural sound” concept to new heights, as well as digital sections with immaculate VCM technology models of Rupert Neve Designs transformer and SILK processing circuitry that offer outstanding musicality and dimension. The system can be equipped with the Dante audio network from Audinate, similar to CL and QL Series digital consoles as well as a range of other Yamaha pro audio products. Rio3224-D2 and Rio1608-D2 I/O Racks, will be released simultaneously as RIVAGE PM7 system components, and the HY144-D Dante audio interface card can be combined to provide natural sound input at full RIVAGE PM series quality allowing the on-stage sound to be cleanly captured and shaped as required by the engineer.

“RIVAGE PM10 already has made a deep impression on professional sound engineers who praise it for its incredible sound quality and quick workflow,” states Marc Lopez, director of marketing, Yamaha Commercial Audio products, Yamaha Professional Audio division. “Our goal with RIVAGE PM7 is to offer the same user experience provided by our flagship RIVAGE PM10 system to a wider range of customers.”

In addition to the new components, Version 2.0 of the RIVAGE PM series firmware will include a number of new features such as 5.1 surround and mix minus capability for broadcast applications, Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5045 Primary Source Enhancer, the Dual Console function, DSP mirroring (RIVAGE PM10 only), and more.

5.1 surround panning and monitoring are provided for broadcast applications, and two surround buses are available for efficient international feed production. A broadcast Mix Minus function is provided too, allowing an identified source to be removed from a specified remote feed with just a few simple steps. The easy-operation Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5045 effectively suppresses background noise at microphone inputs for enhanced clarity while significantly increasing the feedback margin, making it a valuable tool for live sound in houses of worship, stadiums, halls, and other environments where feedback and unwanted background sounds can be problem.

DSP Mirroring is a RIVAGE PM10-only function that allows two DSP-R10 DSP engines to be used for failsafe redundancy. If a problem occurs in the main DSP-R10 unit, the second DSP-R10 can take over without disrupting the program.

“Rupert Neve and I and the rest of the team at Rupert Neve Designs are incredibly proud and pleased with the results that Yamaha has achieved with both the Silk and 5045 emulations,” states Josh Thomas, general manager at Rupert Neve Designs. “It’s uncanny how close they are, and add an amazing power and flexibility to the already formidable Yamaha Mixer lineup.”

The RIVAGE PM7 and V2.0 firmware are scheduled for release soon.

Simple. Small. Superior. Meyer LINA Supports Fine Arts in Chicago

By Oz, Sales & Marketing

The LINA loudspeaker is the newest addition to the LEO family of loudspeakers from Meyer Sound. It is the smallest and lightest of the series. With its companion control element 750-LFC, it brings the inherent linearity, low distortion, and exceptional power-to-size ration of LEO family technology to a wider range of applications and venues.

TC Furlong Inc. recently designed and integrated a LINA loudspeaker system into a leading cultural icon in Chicago. We integrated the LINA system into a theatre that features a dynamic range of performance types, and the adaptability of the LINA system made it a perfect fit.

The LINA loudspeaker takes advantage of the existing MINA footprint, but has new drivers, an updated amplifier, and a signal processing package that, along with improved power supply, enables higher peak output. The improvements also add high-frequency headroom and lower distortion, which allows the LINA to faithfully reproduce audio with tremendous power, superior intelligibility, and extremely low distortion.

Along with the LINA, the 750-LFC low-frequency control element was part of the design of the installed system. The combination of these two loudspeakers helps to extend deep bass in the system, performing down to 36 Hz. The LINA and 750-LFC are driven by the Galileo GALAXY loudspeaker management system.

The recent fine arts integration included twenty-six LINA linear line array loudspeakers, four 750-LFC low-frequency control elements, as well as an array of additional Meyer loudspeakers such as UP-4XPs, UPA-1Ps, UPM-1XPs, and custom rigging structures.

TC Furlong Inc. is a long-time Meyer Sound dealer in the Chicago area, and we have a large inventory of Meyer Sound loudspeakers in our rental inventory. For more information on adding a Meyer Sound to your next rental or show, contact our Rental Team at 847.367.9588 or rentals@tcfurlong.com.

If you have any questions about purchasing a LINA system, or anything from our list of over 100 professional audio manufacturers, contact our Sales Team at 847.367.9588 or sales@tcfurlong.com.

 

Join us next week at the Copernicus on Tuesday, November 14 to hear a live demonstration of the LINA and 750-LFC loudspeakers! Doors open at 10:00 am with the first demonstration at 11:00 am. Lunch will be served at 12:30 with a second demo at 3:00 pm and ending at 4:30 pm.
There is still time to register to join us for this demo! You can register below!

SPLnet: Managing SPL Levels With Accuracy & Precision (Part 2)

By Oz, Sales & Marketing

A few months ago, we posted a blog about how TREND SPL metering software can help manage and regulate the difficult-to-determine SPL levels in your space. While TREND is a great standalone product, the more options there are for this kind of regulation, the better.

“Better audio” includes design and implementation of live sound pressure level monitoring and management such as TREND or Studio Technologies SPLnet.

Studio Technologies SPLnet is an sound pressure level monitoring system that operates through sound and information technology. The platform provides professionals with the data needed to monitor and manage sound and noise on a real-time basis. The systems can be built for either environmental monitoring in places like construction sites, industrial or commercial sites, or transportation, or they can be built for live event systems such as outdoor concerts, indoor performances, sporting events, or houses of worship.

An SPLnet system is made up of two main parts: A Main Electronics Unit (MEU) and a measurement microphone. There are two kinds of each of these parts. The MEU comes either powered over Ethernet (POE) or conventionally powered with a power supply. The microphones come in either Class 1 or Class 2. Depending on the environment and the required measurements, some combination of these two will fit most needs.

Studio Technologies also makes a software called SPLcapture that is able to record and visualize the data recorded by the system’s hardware. It graphically displays audio spectra data and industry-standard algorithms provided by the SPLmonitoring unit, records SPL data in a log file, provides standard reports, and integrates seamlessly with SPLmonitoring units.

An added feature of the SPLnet hardware is that it is cross compatible with the TRENDpro software. The integration of the two allows for more adaptive and expanded systems that can measure at multiple points simultaneously and allow for easy-to-read displays of all metering environments. The SPLnet microphones and MEUs add accuracy to the measurements for TRENDpro. To read more about TRENDpro, you can check out our blog post.

If you are interested in getting more information about SPLnet or other SPL monitoring options, you can contact our sales team at sales@tcfurlong.com or 847-367-9588.

We also carry these systems in our rental inventory. For more information about renting this system or anything else in our extensive rental inventory, contact our rental team at rentals@tcfurlong.com or 847-367-9588.
