Backed by the resources and expertise of the Midwich Group, Will Fenby and Alex Kemanes are casting their investment-focused eyes on the world of AV and tech startups

AV has traditionally been seen as a fairly homegrown industry. In audio, for example, many of the now prolific and world-renowned brands enjoying success started out as nothing more than a spark of genius in a garden shed. If you were a touring engineer trying to accomplish a specific goal, there weren’t many resources to turn to and you were likely left having to invent a new tool to get the job done the way you wanted it done. You were left to knuckle down and figure out a solution on your own.

That’s far from the case today. The industry (and the world it resides in) has changed massively. It’s no longer just a collection of microphones and loudspeakers, and there is no shortage of helpful partners and resources on-hand to guide newcomers through appropriate procedures and next steps. But who you look to for help can be the difference between a make or break. A major challenge today is finding the right partner to help move your idea to the next stage.

Enter Will Fenby and Alex Kemanes, the team behind Midwich Group’s new venture arm Midwich Ignite. Operating as a standalone enterprise targeting innovative seed-stage investments, while utilising the group’s global connections and expertise garnered over nearly half a century, the team has had a busy year since launching at ISE 2024. The focus is primarily on investments in high-growth startups within AV and the wider technology ecosystem, such as smart and connected spaces, hospitality and event technology, and robotics and automation.

Fenby recently joined the group from Alantra Corporate Finance, a mid-market mergers and acquisitions business where he focused on the technology market having previously qualified as a chartered accountant. Kemanes, meanwhile, is regional director for the Middle East at Midwich Group-owned NMK Electronics. “Between the two of us I think we offer very complementary skillsets,” Fenby explains. “I’m fairly new to the AV industry itself but have lots of relevant experience in the financial and deal execution side of things. On top of this, we have the Midwich Group’s global network of vendors, integrators, consultants and technicians at our fingertips.” It’s a rare blend of skills that the pair feel makes Midwich Ignite uniquely positioned to help new companies get their foot in the door.

Despite several high-profile success stories over the last few years, Kemanes believes the industry is ripe for investment from an insider. “We’ve identified that the AV market is still very small in terms of investment,” explains Kemanes. “Private equity firms are looking to place their money in more established places. For companies that we would classify as startups, there’s really not many touching this space. For a traditional VC [venture capitalist] that wants tech multiples, AV is still a bit too niche. We slot into that gap perfectly. We have a large network within the group and that’s a big advantage for us: we can pull any resource,” notes Kemanes. “That was really a major impetus for starting the fund. We have all these resources, let’s utilise them in a way that benefits the whole business and the wider industry.”

With Fenby jumping onboard in late November 2023 to assist with initial activities and getting everything up and running, the fund launched officially at the end of January last year and “it’s been all guns blazing since,” he says. “We’ve been delighted at how quickly we’re able to move as a fund, despite being part of a large business. We think we’ve managed to overcome the classic pitfalls of corporate venture investing – namely, the layers of red tape and conflicting investment criteria that seem to feature in so many corporate VCs. We are a very lean team with a lean reporting structure, and we are committed to keeping our investments at arms’ length to the group; we don’t want anyone thinking that an investment from us is going to tie them into the wider distribution business. We want to leverage the network and expertise to help our investments grow, while the group itself gets the benefit of seeing the latest technology trends ahead of our competition. Our aim is to position Midwich at the heart of the audiovisual innovation ecosystem.”

Less than a year on from the initial launch and Midwich Ignite has enjoyed several success stories, with five investments under its belt already. As the pair sit down to discuss the topic with Pro AVL MEA, the news comes through that they’ve closed another big investment – this one into Ciqurix, a UK-based company that develops video flame detection technology. As part of the drive to support their portfolio beyond mere financial investment, the Ignite team will be working closely with Ciqurix to support its go-to-market and marketing strategy and drive forward regulatory backing under the UK’s newest fire industry accreditation. Similarly, earlier in the year it was Midwich’s network that helped hybrid workplace platform Kadence, based in the US, to announce an integration partnership with a major UC hardware vendor.

As Fenby notes, “when we started out on this journey, we had a theory of how it would work with our combined background and our value add as a big group. But the proof is in the pudding, and I think 12 months on, we can confidently say it has worked. Our goal has been to support innovation (and innovative entrepreneurs), and we truly believe our ‘pay it forward’ approach can help drive positive collaboration in the industry as a whole.”

The Midwich Ignite team will be back at ISE this year as they celebrate their first anniversary as a fund and look ahead with excitement to 2025. The pair urge anyone interested in learning about the fund to visit them on the Midwich stand.

Featuring a world-first and patented technology, the MV7i sets a new standard of versatility and ease-of-use for podcasters, musicians, and streamers who require two channels of recording. Answering the needs of today’s creators, the MV7i enables users to directly connect a second XLR microphone of their choice or musical instrument (keyboard, guitar, etc.), eliminating the need for an external hardware interface. Designed to simplify the way creators record audio, the MV7i offers the same unmatched audio quality as the award-winning MV7+ – complete with onboard DSP and MOTIV Mix™ desktop and MOTIV mobile app integration.

“Whether they’re recording a podcast with a guest or tracking vocals and instruments simultaneously in their home studio, creators need technology that simplifies their workflow and makes capturing audio seamless,” says Eduardo Valdes, AVP of Global Marketing and Product Management, at Shure. “The MV7i delivers the same renowned sound signature as the celebrated MV7+ and streamlines the creative process, saving creators from additional expenses and the hassle of confusing setups so they can focus on their craft and push boundaries, while we handle the technology. By combining Shure’s legendary microphone audio quality with an integrated interface, we’re eliminating complexity while maintaining professional standards, all in one elegant solution.”

Engineered for seamless two-channel recording, the MV7i supports diverse creative needs, from podcasting with a guest to recording vocals and instruments. The built-in interface lets users seamlessly connect a second microphone or instrument directly into the MV7i, and then control both channels of audio either in the MOTIV apps through a computer or phone or with any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and app. Its powerful, built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) engine ensures studio-quality sound on both channels, minimizing production setup. Creators can adjust the DSP setting on each of the MV7i’s two channels independently.

 Inspired by Shure’s iconic SM7B, the MV7i’s design is complemented by a durable metal chassis, ensuring longevity and reliability. The microphone includes a built-in combo XLR and ¼” input, enabling users to connect a second microphone or instrument with 60dB gain and 48V phantom power, compatible with both dynamic and condenser mics. The MV7i instantly detects input type and automatically selects and applies the appropriate DSP for the recording application. Its USB-C output ensures broad compatibility with Mac, Windows, and select mobile devices, and is MFi certified for iPhone and iPad use. Additionally, the color-customizable LED touch panel provides intuitive mute control and a dual-channel LED display for quick, at-a-glance access, simplifying adjustments during recordings and livestreams.

“Creators no longer need a separate interface. The MV7i puts it all in one convenient and space-saving package, designed for users regardless of their level of audio knowledge,” continued Valdes. “Customized control of the microphone through MOTIV Mix makes it even easier to use.”

Key Features and Benefits

• Auto Level Mode with SmartGate™ Technology: Automatically calibrates gain based on proximity, volume, and room dynamics. SmartGate works with Auto Level Mode to dynamically reduce the volume of a channel when either of the two users falls silent, minimizing crosstalk and guaranteeing that concurrent conversations do not disrupt the separate audio streams.
• Real-Time Denoiser: Actively reduces ambient noise, ideal for podcasting and at-home recording. 
• Digital Popper Stopper™: Removes harsh plosive sounds, ensuring clear audio without a physical pop screen.
• Adjustable Reverb: Select from three reverb types with customizable intensity, perfect for versatile recording environments.

The MV7i answers the increasing need for versatile, professional-grade recording solutions that can keep up with today’s fast-moving content landscape. With the explosive growth in podcasting, streaming, and home music production, creators require studio-quality audio solutions that are both powerful and intuitive. The MV7i’s innovative dual-channel capability addresses this demand head-on, extending Shure’s legacy of excellence in the creator and musician space.

MOTIV Mix™ Desktop App

Unlock the full potential of the MV7i through the MOTIV Mix app. This platform lets users customize the LED panel, access up to five multi-track recording and routing channels, and fine-tune settings like sound signature, gain, and more. At launch, users can leverage three powerful output configurations:

• Mixdown Mode: Combines microphone and mono input audio into one mono audio output. Perfect for occasions when you want to use the audio quickly with no additional post-production. 
• Multi-Track Mode: Renders two separate mono audio tracks: one for the microphone and one for the XLR-1/4” input. Ideal when you want to keep the two tracks separate for further editing.
• Stereo Mode: Combines microphone and stereo input audio into one stereo audio track. Preserves the stereo audio from the Input and places mic input in both left and right channels. Great for voiceovers with stereo audio in the background.

MV7i Mobile Support

The MV7i can be connected to smartphones or tablets over a USB-C cable, enabling users to record two channels of audio directly into their mobile devices. Users can record two channels of audio directly into their favorite apps or choose to leverage the Shure MOTIV Audio and MOTIV Video apps to record and adjust their preferred DSP settings while on-the-go.

Nexadyne Redefines Modern Standards of Performance and Ease of Use for Live Events and Professional Touring

CHICAGO, April 30, 2024—Today, Shure has introduced a new era of vocal precision: the Nexadyne™ dynamic microphone platform with Shure Revonic™ Dual Transducer Technology. 

Available now in cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns, Nexadyne vocal microphones achieve state-of-the-art polar pattern consistency, unparalleled noise reduction, and best-in-class professional touring performance, so sound engineers and performers can confidently provide front-row vocal clarity to every corner of the venue, every time. 

“Nexadyne is the next chapter of Shure’s storied history as the leader and innovator in dynamic microphone technology,” shared Nick Wood, Senior Director, Professional Audio Products, at Shure. “With built-in acoustic signal processing, the Nexadyne platform ushers in a new era of modern live performance that engineers and vocalists can trust on stage night after night.”

VIVID, EFFORTLESS CLARITY WITH REVONIC™ TECHNOLOGY

To deliver these revolutionary benefits, the Nexadyne platform is built on Shure’s patented, groundbreaking Revonic Dual Transducer Technology. This meticulously implemented technology minimizes the amount of time and effort required by sound engineers to make performers’ live vocals sound exceptional and cut through the mix. 

Most dynamic microphones are designed with only one transducer, the part of the microphone that converts sound into an electrical signal. Breaking from the mold, Shure’s innovative Revonic Technology implements two precisely matched transducers. 

These transducers work together to provide a greater range of acoustic optimization, maximizing specific frequencies and minimizing unwanted noise, especially handling noise and mechanical vibration. This built-in signal processing delivers a stronger output than traditional single transducer designs, while subsequently removing the need for a traditional pneumatic shock mount and time-consuming, corrective audio editing. 

BUILT-IN RELIABILITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE   

Implementing the benefits of perfectly matched transducers requires thorough attention to detail throughout the manufacturing process. By maintaining and surpassing the highest, stage-tested standards for every Nexadyne microphone, Shure has guaranteed optimum manufacturability for consistent performance.

As the leader in handheld microphones and a pioneer in dynamic microphone technology, Shure continues to set the standard for vocal reproduction and industry-leading build quality with the introduction of Nexadyne and Revonic Technology. 

EMPOWERING A NEW ERA OF PRECISION FOR VOCALISTS AND SOUND ENGINEERS

With Nexadyne premium vocal microphones, performers and sound engineers can be confident the entire audience will hear an acoustically honest representation of their performance with vivid clarity. 

Vocalists using Nexadyne vocal microphones will immediately experience greater clarity and range of detail, which enables more control of vocal nuance and less time either holding back or pushing the voice too hard, no matter the size of the venue. 

For engineers, Nexadyne vocal microphones achieve improved signal quality, delivering a clearer source signal to work with during the mixing process. The higher output of the microphone ensures engineers can accurately reproduce and balance the performer's vocals in the overall mix with significantly less corrective audio processing.

On the 4th of February 2024, the 66th GRAMMYs unfolded in Los Angeles, and live sound played a crucial role in delivering a memorable experience. We sat down with Marc Urselli, a GRAMMY Award-winning mixer and front-of-house engineer for the GRAMMYs Premiere Ceremony for an exclusive interview and explored why Marc chose the Avid VENUE | S6L as his go-to console for this show, uncovering just how reliable the S6L proved to be throughout the entirety of the show, ensuring the best sound possible for the audience.

Front of house at the GRAMMYs 2024 show

What are the biggest challenges that you faced while you were mixing front of house at the GRAMMYs using the Avid VENUE | S6L?

Well, the biggest challenge of them all is the fast-moving pace of the show and the fact that you must be completely focused on what's going on and anticipate your every move. I have a PDF script on my computer (and a paper copy as a backup) and I use the PDF annotation feature to circle the most important mutes, un-mutes, or other changes in the show that I need perform manually. I don’t use snapshots except for major stage changes (from one artist to the next). The most important thing for me is to know which mic or microphones are up next and where because at these award shows, it will jump around from podium mic to handheld mic, from artist on main stage to artist on side stage, and so on and so forth, and you basically must anticipate those movements so that somebody doesn't start talking into a mic that's muted, which is really bad. It's one of the worst things that can happen in that kind of live setting where there are a lot of people in the audience that understand what's going on. Plus it's also going out to the internet, and although it’s a different mix, what happens in the room still affects the broadcast to a degree. These are some of the challenges...

Why would you choose an S6L for FOH?

Why wouldn’t I? 😉 It’s an obvious choice for me. First, I love the way it works and sounds, but most importantly I know it really well and I can get around very quickly. Maybe it's because I've been using Pro Tools for over 20 years. It's a very familiar desk, and when you're mixing a live show, especially one where so much is at stake, you must really be comfortable. I've mixed on a lot of consoles, but I keep coming back to the S6L and I always request the S6L for any big show that I do, whether it's a GRAMMY ceremony or a White House concert or a tour. In fact, my relationship with that desk started back when I was mixing on a [VENUE] Profile while touring with Lou Reed, more than ten years ago, around 2011 or 2012. I have worked with Lou Reed for over seven years as his FOH engineer and every tour I ever did with him had a Profile at FOH. So the step from Profile to S6L was small and obvious and I just love the desk. I'm very fast getting around on it. The layout feature is one of the things I use the most on those big award shows, or any kind of big show. On a show like the GRAMMY Awards, you end up having over 150 channels and you can't be paging around. I want to always have everything in front of me. I have my specific tricks and methods for how to use layouts, so it's just a desk I can customize to my needs and desires, and it’s the desk I'm most comfortable with. It sounds great, the interface is great, it's easy to use for me, and that's why I keep using it.

Sound check with the band at the GRAMMYs

Which features on the S6L stand out to you?

I just mentioned my favorite one: the layouts. The layouts are, to me, the most important thing because when you have a lot of channels, being able to access the ones you need the most at any given time is the most important thing in order not to get lost in sub-menus or in a sea of input and output channels or whatnot. You don't want to get lost in banks, so the layouts are my most adored feature.

Marc’s layout

Other things I like are the fact that it can feel like an analog desk, but it can also be used like a digital desk. So, in other words, the fact that you can have your channel strip reacting like it's a channel strip on an analog desk is great for quick soundchecks. I love having the two video monitors so I can always look at one for certain things and look at the other one on the side for things, such as more channel-specific things. I love having the A & B monitoring paths for nearfields and headphones. And VCAs!!! Did I mention VCAs? I live on VCAs!!! I mix the whole show on VCAs and rarely even go to a channel to ride a fader (and when I do I usually get to it quickly by spilling the VCA). I love the fact that on the S6L, you're not limited to just having eight VCAs, like on many other consoles. On the S6L you can make as many as you want, and I use VCAs a lot when mixing a show, especially a GRAMMY-type of award show where you know you are going to mix multiple bands and artists, you are going from acceptance speeches to the incredibly amazing and super tight 18-piece house band lead by Cheche Alara, to a host mic. I can put the whole house band on a VCA and a guest band on another VCA, etc. I’ll have a band VCA so that I can fade the band in or out between or after speeches.

How do you see the future of live sound technology evolving?

Well, I think it's going to continue to improve and I'm very excited about the future of live sound because it's going to be the only aspect I think where AI cannot ruin our jobs and our lives in the way it's probably going to happen in the recording industry. So, I'm looking forward to humans doing live sound and the improvements that will keep coming to the S6L. The new updates to the software have been great and I've loved those. The stability of the desk is great. I've never had an Avid desk crash on me, whereas I've had other consoles crash on me. So, all of that, all the technology improvements that give you the peace of mind that you need to run a big show and know that the equipment will have your back and is not going to fail—that's the most important thing! And then, of course, there are the improvements in sound which are important too! But I think that the desk already sounds great. Then there are a lot of improvements that are coming from various PA companies, which is a whole other conversation. But there's always better sounding PAs, better sounding room adjustment tools, and so on and so forth.

[Dubai, UAE] – In the spirit of Ramadan, the month of giving, NMK Electronics, the leading audiovisual (AV) distribution company in the GCC region, has once again demonstrated its commitment to corporate social responsibility and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Continuing its tradition of giving back to the community under #TogetherWeCan initiative, NMK Electronics has distributed over 1,500 meals to blue-collar workers this Ramadan as part of its ongoing ESG initiatives. This charitable activity was made possible with support from esteemed vendors, including Q-SYS, Shure, and Bose Professional.

Understanding the importance of community and solidarity, teams from all participating companies took a hands-on approach by visiting labor camps to distribute meals and spend time with the workers. This gesture of goodwill not only provided much-needed sustenance but also brought joy and a sense of belonging to those away from their families during the holy month.

Reflecting on the initiative, a spokesperson from NMK Electronics commented, "At NMK, we are deeply committed to our ESG values, and Ramadan offers a perfect opportunity to embody these principles through acts of kindness and generosity. We believe in giving back to the community that has been instrumental in our success. This is the second consecutive year of our Ramadan meal distribution initiative, and we are overwhelmed by the positive response from both the beneficiaries and our team members. It's a testament to our collective commitment to making a difference, and we are motivated to continue this tradition in the years to come."

The initiative has been met with gratitude and appreciation from the workers and has fostered a sense of community and mutual respect among all involved. NMK Electronics, along with its partners Q-SYS, Shure, and Bose Professional, plan to expand their philanthropic activities, continuing to make a significant impact on the lives of those in need.

NMK Electronics' dedication to ESG initiatives, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, underscores the company's broader commitment to social responsibility and ethical business practices. By integrating these values into their core operations, NMK Electronics continues to lead by example, inspiring others in the industry to follow suit.

Whether it’s a presentation, team conference, or university lecture, it seems like every gathering includes a mix of local and remote participants.  Delivering flawless audio for the people in the room and those joining remotely isn’t always easy. Accommodating a moving presenter and audience Q and A makes it even more of a challenge.

The Microflex MXW neXt 2 wireless microphone system is the next step in audio for hybrid events.  It’s an all-in-one wireless microphone system for meeting rooms, hybrid classrooms, and training spaces that provides superior audio for the people in the room and those joining remotely.

"MXW neXt 2 is the only two-channel wireless microphone system with a combined receiver, charger, and IntelliMix DSP"

The Microflex Wireless neXt 2 is the only two-channel wireless microphone system with a combined receiver, charger, and IntelliMix DSP.  The MXWAPXD2 Access Point Transceiver sits inconspicuously on a tabletop and handles wireless transmission and reception, charging, automatic mixing, DSP, and signal routing.  It even includes Automatic Frequency Management, so there’s no complicated wireless configuration to worry about either.  Unlike most wireless microphone systems, MXW neXt 2 finds open channels in the 1.9 GHz DECT band automatically and changes channels to avoid interference without interrupting the audio.

The Microflex Wireless neXt 2 is the only two-channel wireless microphone system with a combined receiver, charger, and IntelliMix DSP.  The MXWAPXD2 Access Point Transceiver sits inconspicuously on a tabletop and handles wireless transmission and reception, charging, automatic mixing, DSP, and signal routing.  It even includes Automatic Frequency Management, so there’s no complicated wireless configuration to worry about either.  Unlike most wireless microphone systems, MXW neXt 2 finds open channels in the 1.9 GHz DECT band automatically and changes channels to avoid interference without interrupting the audio.

MXW neXt 2 lets you select any two microphone transmitters that meet your needs.  The MXW1X bodypack transmitter is compatible with popular Shure lavalier microphones that let presenters keep their hands free.  The MXW2X handheld transmitter is perfect for passing around for audience Q and A or for presenters who prefer to hold the microphone.  The MXW6X boundary transmitter can be placed on a table or desktop to pick up a seated participant.

The microphones drop into charging slots in the transceiver at the end of the day so they’re always ready to use.  Bodypack and boundary microphones run for up to 17 hours on a full charge, and handheld microphones run for up to 28 hours.  An information screen on each microphone displays battery time remaining, the room name, and more.

The transceiver includes analog, Dante, and USB-C interfaces for easy connection to a computer, sound system, and videoconferencing codec.  You can send mic audio to the remote participants only (for conferences), to the room loudspeakers (for presentations), or both (for hybrid meetings).

MXW neXt 2 also has features that make it convenient for users in corporate, education, and government settings.

• An out-of-range alert reminds the user to return the microphone to the charging station.
• Always-on AES-256 encryption provides enhanced privacy for your meeting audio.
• The mute button on each transmitter can control one or both microphones, or they can be remotely muted and unmuted by your room control system.
• The power switch can be defeated to prevent accidental powering off; the transmitter goes to sleep when placed in the charging slot and wakes up when removed.

The MXW NeXt 2 integrated wireless system is the next step in audio for hybrid events in corporate and higher education meeting spaces.  It’s all-in-one and job done.

What’s New:

• Discreet 13.5-inch (34 cm) round form factor complements any interior design
• Single-Zone Automatic Coverage™ technology covers a 20 by 20 foot area with no setup required

Encore Middle East, renowned for its expertise in event lighting, has recently enhanced its lighting inventory by adding 96 units of Chauvet Ovation E260 lighting fixtures and 11 units of Chamsys Magic Mq50 lighting console from NMK Electronics, a leading distributor in the region. This acquisition reflects Encore’s commitment to combining cost-effectiveness with high-quality lighting solutions, particularly for its ‘Venues’ branch that services over 40 hotels across the UAE.

The Ovation E260 was chosen for its exceptional light output and natural warm white color, meeting the everyday demands of hotel venue events. The fixture's compatibility with standard LEE Correction gels, low power consumption, and competitive pricing made it a preferred choice for Encore's extensive range of events.

Additionally, the purchase of Chamsys Magic Mq50 brings advanced control features to Encore's lighting setup. The Chamsys Magic Mq50 is equipped with 8 universes direct from the console, a high-resolution 10.1" multi-touch display, built-in WiFi for quick connection to the MagicQ Remote App, RDM support via direct DMX Ports and Network, and silent operation, making it ideal for large area applications.

Clients and lighting professionals have positively received the introduction of these fixtures and control systems, particularly noting the output and ease of color balance of the Ovation E260 and the advanced features of the Chamsys console. These new additions are expected to become integral to Encore's lighting solutions, serving as standard equipment for everyday needs.

The Ovation E260 and Chamsys console address the industry's challenge of balancing power load, output, and cost while showcasing the significant advancements in LED technology and lighting control systems over the past decade.

Encore's commitment to staying up to date with the latest lighting technologies and trends is crucial, as the industry continuously introduces new products that enhance event experiences. This was evident in their use of the Ovation E260 during high-profile events like COP28, which demanded sustainable yet powerful lighting solutions.

Encore values the quality and performance of these products and suggests potential future enhancements, like incorporating tunable white LED chips in the Ovation E260 while maintaining its current output and pricing.

In response to this partnership, Jesse Dullabh from NMK Electronics expressed his satisfaction, saying, "We are thrilled that Encore trusts us and our brands. We have always enjoyed doing business with them, and this latest collaboration with Chauvet & Chamsys further solidifies our strong relationship. It's gratifying to see our products being used to create spectacular events across the UAE."

With these acquisitions, Encore Middle East is set to illuminate events across the UAE, offering its clients the latest in lighting technology and control systems, combined with the company’s renowned expertise in creating the right ambiance for a diverse range of events.

Alex Kemanes, Managing Director, NMK Electronics, shares insights into how artificial intelligence is driving innovation in the AV industry and discusses expansion plans in Saudi Arabia.

Dubai-based Flair Event Services has added several new pieces of equipment to its inventory, in preparation for what it hopes will be a very busy upcoming season. Highlights include new consoles from British manufacturer Allen & Heath, a doubling of its wireless audio capabilities with new equipment from Shure, and further investments into networking, lighting and power. Looking to dive deeper into the world of corporate events in 2024, the purchases are designed to better cater to conferences and product launches than the company’s existing rider-focused concert portfolio.

“Purchased from NMK Electronics, a lot of our latest audio investments not only support and build on our current equipment, but are also more focused towards our newly developed corporate sector,” explained Flair’s technical director, Marno Snyman. “We’ve been focusing on private social events, large format weddings and live international concerts for the last couple of years, but from this year onwards we're stepping fully into the corporate world.”

The new additions to Flair’s portfolio include compact 48-channel SQ5 audio consoles from Allen & Heath, Shure Axient AD-1 body packs, Shure Axient AD-2 wireless microphones with Beta52 capsules, Shure Axient AD-4Qs four-channel wireless receivers, AD-600 Spectrum Managers, ULX-4D dual wireless receivers, ULXD-1 and ULXD-D2 mics with Beta52 capsules. These are joined by GigaCore 16XT and GigaCore 10 networking switches from Luminex.

“With 48 channels, the SQ range consoles are compact and can do everything we need for a corporate function,” furthered Snyman. “Even if we have a small band, we can still accommodate a three-piece setup with decent EQ and pickups. On the wireless side, we’ve doubled our channel count of both our Axient and Shure ULX ranges, all with beltpacks, handhelds, spectrum analysers and antennas combined. On the networking side we were previously using Luminex 14Rs. We've upped that by getting a couple of Luminex 16XTs and GigaCore 10s for truss mounting for our Robe FollowSpots.”

Other new equipment purchases in recent months have included a significant expansion of the team’s lighting capabilities with new fixtures from PWR. “We partnered with PWR, a company that launched at Prolight + Sound at the beginning of this year, to help them develop and refine the fixture,” noted Snyman. “We’ve got 200 Pixel blinders from them, which is essentially an RGB warm white miniature blinder – it’s super tiny but very powerful, and we've used them already for multiple concerts. We also have 400m of PWR’s Pixel bar system. We use them quite a lot as truss lighters or for set elements both for corporate and concert halls, and they give us the ability to extend a video stream with lighting fixtures into a broader format. Generally, we stack these pixel bars onto the lighting truss and run them through Resolume as a video screen. They work to kind of extend the overall visual experience and make it feel like you've got a lot more room to play with.”

Finally, the team is awaiting to take delivery of a large quantity of power supplies from SES: “We're getting a couple more 400 amp DBs, 125 amp DBs, 63 amp DBs, so our power department has also seen quite a big investment.”

"The Mixer's Blueprint: Understanding Analog and Embracing Digital with Pro Tools" is a comprehensive workshop designed for audio professionals and enthusiasts to master the intricacies of audio mixing. This journey from the analog past to the digital future is not just about blending two worlds; it's about understanding the very fabric of analog and digital audio. With Pro Tools as our canvas, we will dive into the Sampling Theorem, ensuring clarity on how sound is captured and reproduced in the digital domain. We'll unravel the mysteries of bit depth and AD/DA conversion, which are crucial for achieving high quality recordings. Participants will gain insights into the dynamics of Loudness, the subtleties of Dither, and other fundamental digital audio concepts that influence the quality and character of the mix. Whether you're refining your craft or just starting out, this workshop will expand your technical knowledge and practical skills, empowering you to create sonically rich and dynamic mixes. Join us to transform your understanding of audio and elevate your mixes within Pro Tools, the leading edge of audio production technology.

The Q-SYS Partner Ecosystem is a network of companies and organizations that partner with Q-SYS to resell, develop or create solutions, enabling and expanding collaboration that unlocks the power of the Q-SYS Platform to deliver exceptional AV experiences for our mutual customers. Q-SYS is designed with third-party integration in mind, and I am excited to share with you a new Q-SYS control plugin now available in Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager.   

Our new LG Commercial Displays plugin is another example of how Q-SYS is partnering with companies to make AV smarter. At Q-SYS we want ease of control to be readily accessible to our customers and plugins are key to simplifying integration and control.  The LG Commercial Displays plugin allows integrators to cutdown on programming time, and get the job done faster. The controls from the plugin can be easily dragged onto a Q-SYS user control interface and restyled to match a customer’s branding.  

The LG Commercial Displays plugin also offers the ability to automate content and display power, without the need for any scripting. For instance, if you are using an Atlona AT-OCS-900N Occupancy Sensor, with the accompanying Q-SYS Plugin, you can automate the LG display’s power when someone walks into the room. You could also set the displays in a building to turn on or off at a certain time of day, and switch to a certain input when it’s lunch time, for instance. The automation isn’t just one-way. The LG Commercial Displays plugin can also be used to control many other devices, such as shades or lighting.  In the example below, we have the display screen toggling on or off, based on movement in the room. We are also automating the opening and closing of shades in the room, with our Somfy Connect UAI+ plugin, based on which input has been selected on the display, just in case that customer needs a little extra privacy. Yes, it’s this easy! 

There is also support for monitoring your LG Commercial Displays with Q-SYS Reflect Enterprise Manager (QREM). If you set the plugin to “Is Managed” in the plugin properties, you have just allowed QREM to give you updates on the status of your LG Commercial Display.   

Whether you’re using Q-SYS and LG together in a conference room, sports venue, or hospital, the LG Commercial Displays plugin enables end-users to deliver exceptional experiences via simplified control.

This significant acquisition underscores the company's commitment to delivering unparalleled event experiences by incorporating cutting-edge technology.

The Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid, unveiled recently at the Pro Light and Sound trade show in Germany, is heralded for its adaptability and prowess. With a design conducive to both spot and beam features, this lighting unit embodies versatility, allowing event managers to illuminate venues in a myriad of captivating ways.

Darren Hodge, CEO at Snap, commented about the addition of these lights to their inventory. "We've been associated with Chauvet for almost 12 years now," he said. Speaking on his motivation behind this particular purchase, Darren stressed on the Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid's unique hybrid model and its unparalleled performance, all fitting within the specific weight and lumens he sought.

The weight, brightness, and multi-functionality of the Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid, combined with the rock-solid support of NMK, played a pivotal role in the decision. Darren added, "What's beneficial for me is that it comes from NMK, where I have 100% support."

Snap's decision was further reinforced by feedback from their team member, Rupert, who experienced the Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid firsthand at its German launch. With this acquisition, Snap not only augments its lighting portfolio but also reinforces its strategic partnership with NMK, the distributor for Chauvet lights in the region.

Following the acquisition, Snap's team put the new fixtures into action at the "Next World" event in Saudi Arabia. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with the Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid meeting and exceeding expectations, further cementing its place in Snap's impressive lighting repertoire.

Schalk, Lighting brand manager at NMK, highlighted the seamless collaboration with Snap, praising Darren's clear vision and expertise. "Working with someone who knows exactly what they want makes the entire process incredibly smooth.

Designed to provide more routing capabilities for the VENUE | S6L console, such as the ability to patch any input source from anywhere on the platform or connected network to any input channel.

Avid has announced the availability of new VENUE 7.2 software, an update designed to allow more routing capabilities for the VENUE | S6L mixing console, such as the ability to patch any input source from anywhere on the platform or connected network to any input channel, with Automatic Delay Compensation.

Further capabilities in VENUE 7.2 include input channels that can be routed directly from six different pickoff points:

— Top of channel allows users to get the signal at the raw source, straight from the analog mic pre.

— The True Gain pickoff point is designed to ensure consistent gain structure for engineers when sharing the mic pre across multiple systems, regardless of their role in setup. In I/O sharing scenarios without ownership of the analog mic pre, the True Gain pickoff provides real-time compensation for any analog gain stage changes.

— Pre-EQ, Insert Return, Pre-Fader Post-Mute and Post Fader allow users to choose which level of processing is applied for the duplicated input.

In addition to these internal processing paths, users also have direct access to any physical source on the VENUE | S6L platform, such as stage and local inputs, and sources from any MADI-192 or MILAN-192 option card.

“The routing flexibility offered in the latest VENUE software update is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in patching, making the Avid VENUE | S6L the obvious mixing console choice in live sound,” says Francois Quereuil, vice president, Product Management for Audio and Music Solutions at Avid. “With nearly endless input options, S6L users can now craft signal flow in new and innovative ways. We’re excited to see what our creative customers will produce with these enhancements.”

Olivier and Tony Award-winning sound designer Gareth Owen adds: “One of the cool ways we use output to input is that we will often duplicate an input channel, with one version going to FOH and one version going to surround. Usually, we do a post insert direct out from the FOH channel, via a plug-in, back into the Surround channel so you automatically get all the processing on both channels. Now we can do this more elegantly without the wasted plug-in slot.”

Avid also recently added Soothe Live for S6L, free for a year with a support plan. It helps in addressing common problems in mixing live sound like overly bright instruments, proximity effect in vocals, muddiness and instrument bleed, Soothe Live works in real time and was developed specifically for S6L users.

The Avid VENUE 7.2 software update for VENUE | S6L is now available. Go here for more specifics.
