Broadcast 2011
microFusa will present the latest developments in music technology at the fifteenth edition of Broadcast, the international audiovisual technology show, at the IFEMA exhibition grounds.
Among the new products to be unveiled in its professional brand portfolio are the Symphony I/O recording system from Apogee, RME's MADI range, PreSonus StudioLive digital mixing consoles, SPL processors, and the latest microphone models from RØDE.
Apogee Symphony I/O
Apogee Symphony I/O is a multichannel audio interface and AD/DA converter that represents the new generation of sound quality, with full compatibility with Logic, Pro Tools, and other CoreAudio-compatible systems. It also offers complete connectivity and versatility, as it can be integrated into Pro Tools HD systems, Symphony 64 PCIe, or connected directly via USB.
Symphony I/O is the most advanced professional multichannel audio system with next-generation sound quality. Thanks to the seamless integration between Apogee hardware and Apple computers, Symphony I/O is the culmination of 25 years of experience in designing AD/DA converters and audio interfaces, offering a unique modular system that can operate either autonomously or connected directly to a Mac-based audio workstation.
SPL
SPL offers both analog and digital audio signal processors for professional sound and music production. Preamplifiers, compressors, equalizers, exciters... SPL's product range is extensive and includes products suited to every need: voice and instrument recording.
Thanks to SPL's R&D&I team, proprietary technologies such as VITALIZER and TRANSIENT DESIGNER form a major part of the products from this German brand. Since 2008, a new team of software developers has been focused on developing digital products without compromising sound quality. Virtual recreations of SPL products are capable of delivering the expected sound quality.
Presonus StudioLive
Since their introduction, PreSonus StudioLive digital mixing consoles have continued to surprise both live sound technicians and producers and musicians in their project studios. Whether providing sound for live bands or producing music, the ease of use and quality of these consoles have marked a before and after. Following the revolution brought about by the first StudioLive 16.4.2 model and the arrival of the 24-channel StudioLive 24.4.2 model, the new StudioLive 16.0.2 will be showcased at Broadcast. This new model incorporates the same technology as previous models but in a compact and truly portable format. It features Class A preamplifiers with XMAX technology developed by PreSonus itself, Fat Channel, capable of providing a complete dynamics and EQ section for each channel, a Firewire connection for use as a bidirectional audio interface, and Virtual StudioLive software, which allows settings and presets to be managed from a computer or even an iPad.
RME MADI
The MADI protocol is the perfect solution for the simultaneous transmission of multiple audio channels. Unlike other technologies, MADI allows up to 64 audio channels to be transmitted over a single cable with lengths of 2000 m or more.
RME products featuring MADI connections offer the full potential of this technology at an affordable price.
From digital format converters such as AES/EBU or ADAT to MADI, MADI routers, A/D and D/A converters such as the new M32 and M16 series, to portable recording solutions such as MADIFACE for both Mac and PC, RME MADI equipment is ideal for use in the studio, live, or in other types of environments where multiple audio channels need to be transmitted simultaneously.

In recent years, it has also entered the broadcast market with a comprehensive range of microphones and accessories that are gaining increasing acceptance in the audiovisual sector.
