NAB is always a wonderful opportunity for the broadcast community to share ideas and catch up. It's also a chance to get your hands – and ears – on the latest ways of improving your workflow and audio quality. (And, frankly, for us to show off just a little!)
Below are just some of the innovations you'll find in booth C3007 for Telos Systems, Omnia Audio, 25-Seven Systems and Axia Audio and booth N3437 for Linear Acoustic.
We look forward to seeing you at the show, but if you are unable to attend this year, be certain to subscribe to Direct Current, our weekly email newsletter, and download our NOW! mobile app, a comprehensive reference catalog of our products.
Axia AudioNew! Fusion, Axia’s new modular Audio-over-IP (AoIP) mixing console, is packed with features and capabilities refined from a decade of IP-Audio experience. Four Program buses and four auxiliary buses, onboard EQ and voice dynamics, automatic mix-minus, and integrated Intercom capability.
Virtual Fader and Virtual Mixer (VMix) technology, with 16 five-channel VMixers, help extend mixing capacity beyond physical fader count. Beautiful and rugged, too: anodized metal work surfaces feature rub-proof laser-etched markings and high-resolution OLED displays on each fader. Download high-resolution image.
New! Much more than just a router selector, Axia xSelector combines the routing functions of an XY router control panel with the audio outputs of an Axia xNode AoIP interface. In addition to analog, AES3 and headphone outputs, xSelector also features an analog and an AES3 input — ideal for production or news studios where operators both create and consume audio streams. Six convenient “radio buttons” can be quickly programmed for instant access to favorite sources. Download high-resolution image.
Major Upgrade! Known for its ultraclean audio, Omnia.9 has been upgraded to offer even more versatility. A new, Dual FM version enables individually programmed processing for two FM stations. Currently installed Omnia.9 units can be upgraded in the field for less than the cost of adding a second processor.
Undo de-clipper and multiband expander is standard. Processing for any combination of up to three HD Radio and streaming channels, as well as on-board RDS, are available as options. Download high-resolution image.
New! Born from our collaboration with SOUND4, the Omnia.7 brings a new sound to the Omnia range in a full-featured unit for price-sensitive installations.
Processing includes 2-band AGC, 4-band EQ and Tone Effects, Stereo enhancer with 5-band stereo image control, 5-band Processing with Fidelity Control and Sound Impact System (SIS™) to manage spectral balance, 5-band limiter, 4-band EQ, Clipper Optimizer, Powerful Final Clipper. Omnia.7 latency is 33ms, and offers support for AES67. Dual redundant internal power supplies, built-in RDS generator, MPX Power (ITU-R BS.412) compliance, a remote application and more. Available in FM/HD and FM-only versions.
New! Comprehensive modulation analysis is now available to those serious about managing their modulation and transmission characteristics. MPX Tool/Modulation Analyzer includes over-sampled digital oscilloscope, RTA, and FFT analysis of the entire spectrum including RDS and SCA’s.
The unit has stereo baseband analog I/O plus dual analog MPX (composite) inputs with reference-quality stereo decoding, along with an off-air tuner supporting FM, HD Radio, DAB, and DAB+. ITU-R BS.1770-3 metering accurately compares loudness between processors or between stations. A built-in HTTP server allows remote control and logging. Includes dual redundant power supplies.
New! This highly flexible voice processing platform is built upon the revolutionary Sound4 “HQ192” processing engine, featuring advanced de-esser, 3-band noise gate, 3-brand processor, 4-band parametric EQ and final brick wall limiter. Use as a standalone voice processor for up to 8 mics or network multiple units via Livewire. Dominate-It feature allows host mic to override all others. Recording-grade preamps include phantom power and pre-channel controls for phase, pad and gain.
User presets or entire sessions can be instantly recalled manually or by external automation commands. Presets are available in any networked studio, meaning talent can sound the same regardless of studio. AES67 compliant with AES, balanced analog and Livewire I/O.
New! Incorporating the same technology found in the Omnia.9, including Undo, Omnia.9/XE is a complete software-based management system for streaming audio when you must have the highest possible audio quality.
Our exclusive Undo de-clipper and multiband expander removes distortion from poorly mastered source material for more efficient encoding and optimized audio quality at lower bitrates. Supports multiple ASIO and WDM (Wave, Direct Sound and Kernel Streaming) audio interfaces and includes Livewire driver. Simultaneous encoding to MP2, MP3, AAC, aacPlus, and WMA, compatible with Shoutcast v1 and Icecast. Up to 16 fully independent stereo processors in one instance, and up to 8 instances on one machine. Pay for what you need now and upgrade as you grow.
Major Upgrade! From the codec experts at Telos, the Zephyr iPort PLUS Multi-Codec Gateway allows transport of 8 channels of bi-directional or 16 one-way “push”channels of stereo audio using IP networks such as WANs, Ethernet radio links or even the public Internet.
Coding algorithms include AAC, AAC-LD, AAC-HE, AAC-HE v2, MP3, MPEG Layer 2, and optional apt-X® (16- or 24-bit) coding. Linear audio is available as well. Enhanced GPIO options include 20 end-to-end synchronized channels per codec, plus ancillary data. iPort Plus is perfect for large-scale distribution of audio to single or multiple locations over single or multiple IP paths with redundant-path reliability.
Zephyr iPort PLUS with Time Zone Delay is purpose-built for large-scale distribution of audio across broadcast networks. Zephyr iPort PLUS with Time Zone Delay adds hardware and exclusive software that enables delayed playout of any, or all, coded audio channels for up to six hours; each channel's delay time is independently configurable, and associated GPO and ancillary data is likewise delayed and synchronized with audio.

Linear AcousticNew! The next generation in end-to-end system testing has arrived. The handheld MT2000 Multichannel Bitstream Analyzer is the ideal solution for generating and analyzing encoded audio. With AES, TOSLINK® optical, 3GHz SDI, DVB-ASI and MADI I/O along with an HDCP compliant HDMI input, the MT2000 is able to decode and output Dolby® Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby E and PCM bitstreams.
Audio system integrators and service engineers can quickly monitor and check the integrity and composition of Dolby encoded and PCM signals routed through production, broadcast, cable, satellite facilities, or even a home theater system. Download high-resolution image.
New! 
Built upon the success of the popular Axia xNode, the SDI xNode is a high-density HD/SD-SDI to Livewire®/AES-67 Audio over IP (AoIP) interface. Featuring dual, independent SDI paths, each with compensating video delay, the SDI xNode can access, shuffle, and route up to 16 channels of audio between the SDI and AoIP connections.
The SDI xNode also includes all standard xNode controls including front panel and web interface and can be powered by AC and/or Power over Ethernet. Download a high-resolution image.
New! Compact and powerful, the half-rack AERO.x features dual, independent HD/SD-SDI paths and AES-67 compliant Audio over IP. With its built-in AEROMAX® loudness control, UPMAX® upmixing/downmixing and quad ITU-R BS.1770-3 loudness meters, the AERO.x is able to process up to 16 channels of audio. The unit also includes dual compensating video delay to ensure audio/video synchronization is maintained. Download a high-resolution image.
