Ribbons for every occasion
Audio Technica AT4080 & AT4081

With the groundbreaking AT4080 and AT4081, Audio-Technica has achieved the coveted ribbon microphone sound while
solving the problems of fragility and low output that have historically plagued ribbon mics.

Equally at home in recording studios or live-sound settings, these all new microphone feature Audio-Technica’s innovative
MicroLinear™ ribbon imprint, which protects the dual ribbons from lateral flexing and distortion.

With 18 patents pending, Audio-Technica’s innovative ribbon transducer advances the evolution of ribbon microphone
design. They are the company’s first ever ribbon mics and offer smooth, natural, articulate audio quality that meets the
critical requirements of today’s recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement professionals.

The AT4080, with an appearance like a classic ‘suspension cradled’ side-addressed condenser, is recommended for vocals,
horns, strings, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, orchestras, ensembles and guitar cabinets. The AT4081, which looks
more like a pencil condenser, is optimised for strings, saxophones and other horns, acoustic instruments, drum overheads,
orchestras, ensembles and guitar cabinets; its low-profile stick design maximises placement options. Both mics excel in
recording studios as well as in live-sound settings.

Extremely powerful N50 rare-earth neodymium magnets provide high output levels, and the mics’ innovative dual ribbon
construction offers increased sensitivity and SPL handling capability. Both microphones require 48V phantom power to drive
their active electronics which enable them to deliver output close to condenser microphone levels.

Each is handmade in Japan, including ribbon corrugation, imprint and assembly and like all 40 Series microphones, each and
every AT4080 and AT4081 is individually tested and inspected for 100 percent quality assurance.


Retail prices for the AT4080 and AT4081 are $1,295 and $995 respectively.

Klark Teknik introduces the DN 9696 High Resolution Recorder
Extremely easy to use, simple to setup, standalone .......
The concert sound industry is constantly evolving. Bands and artists are increasingly being recorded for live CDs, DVDs, Internet releases and for general archive purposes; all are extremely valuable additional revenue streams for both the artist and service companies alike.
Secondly, with limited production rehearsals now being the norm, mix engineers require live recordings so that a “virtual sound check” can be performed. This removes the need to directly involve the artist, and all the associated additional expense and time that a traditional sound check or rehearsal process incurs. The “virtual sound check” also allows the mix engineer the time to fine tune his mix and use the full potential that digital console automation offers.
To help meet the concert sound industry’s requirements, Klark Teknik has engineered an extremely easy to use, simple to setup, standalone hard disk recorder - the DN9696. This High Resolution Audio Recorder offers 96 tracks of 96kHz audio at 24bit, with a massive nine hours of internal storage. There is now no need for external computers linked to multiple non-roadworthy systems with complicated interconnections, just a
simple plug and play unit with dedicated Play, Stop and Record front panel transport controls.
The screen based software interface offers in-depth control of both recording and playback functions. There are echoes of the unique features of Midas’ digital audio systems within the DN9696, for example the use of POPulation groups to view, colour and edit tracks, an ‘Input Sheet’ for quickly naming all tracks as well as ‘dual operator’ control of the system.
The DN9696 occupies only 5U of rack space with very simple cable requirements and does not demand the expense of a dedicated recording technician. After all, all you really need is Record, Stop and Play.

ARX USB DI
The mini jack was never meant to be a pro connector

In response to many requests from users of our original USB DI who have been using it for specific applications, ARX is excited to present the new ARX USB DI-VC - everything that the original USB DI was, with the addition of an output level control. It is still a true Plug and Play digital to analog pro audio interface, removing the need to use any existing sound card outputs, but now the output level can be modified quickly and accurately..

Naturally it still features full transformer balanced output isolation to eliminate earth loops / ground hum and other extraneous interaction noise and distortion.
The addition of the volume control allows the USB DI-VC to be used without a mixer. This is a very useful option when driving active loudspeakers from a laptop - the level control lets you reduce the level instantly to suit the required SPL, which still retaining an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Plug and Play
The USB DI-VC installs as a fully compatible generic USB audio device, requiring no special driver program installation on Mac OSX, Win XP and Vista.
The rear panel has a Type B USB input connector while the front panel has an Output Level control and two transformer balanced analog audio XLR Line out connectors for connecting to any standard balanced analog input.
A status LED on the rear panel next to the USB Input indicates that the USB DI-VC is connected and operating.
The USB DI-VC is housed in a heavy duty all-steel chassis finished in attractive matt textured powdercoat, with hardwearing epoxy screen printing and slip resistant rubber pads. It is ideal for interfacing any USB equipped computer (especially notebook computers) with the balanced inputs of professional sound systems.
Security features include Kensington®-type computer lock slot and optional bracket kit for under-table mounting. $345.00 INC RRP

New from LSC the Redback series dimmers
The concept behind the Redback project was to produce a feature rich, high quality and reliable dimmer in a small compact footprint at a very affordable price. After extensive development and product testing, we can confidently say we have delivered these objectives. The range is designed for mass manufacture, hence minimising labour content, increasing our economies of scale and reducing the overall build price without compromising quality. It is, undoubtedly, one of the best dimmers designed and manufactured by LSC in its 30 year history.
The Redback dimmers released last year are 6-channel units, a product range not previously manufactured by LSC. The 12-channel variants will now replace the successful ePAK and iPAK range of dimmers that have become benchmarks within the Australian Lighting Industry for the last 10 years. Note that the ePRO and iPRO dimmers will continue.
The Redback 12 channel dimmers are designed to be class leaders, and so are fully compliant with the new RDM (Remote Device Management) protocol, allowing remote configuration from any RDM compatible controller. This new functionality will also soon be available as a free software update for all existing 6-channel Redback dimmer racks.
The Redback dimmer range, like all of the LSC product range, is certified as a "Product of Australia". This means that it is completely manufactured in Australia, NOT just assembled out of imported modules. This ensures the highest level of local content, resulting in LSC's legendary reliability - not to mention local jobs.
