Source Distribution To Host RØDE, Genelec Product Debuts

News Image
Source Distribution, will be hosting product debuts from RØDE and Genelec at this month's BVE Show in London.

Shown in public for the first time anywhere are RØDE's new RØDELink Digital Wireless System, NTG4 and NTG4+ shotgun microphones and the NTR ribbon microphone.

The RØDELink Wireless system uses 2.4GHz technology to provide high resolution 24-bit/44.1kHz digital audio signal at a range of up to 100 metres. The system will consist of a number of receiver and transmitter options, and will be available in a number of kits targeting film, news gathering, presentation and stage use. The first kit to be available will be the Filmmaker Kit, which consists of a beltpack transmitter, an on-camera or beltpack receiver and RØDE's broadcast quality Lavalier microphone.

The NTG4 and NTG4+ shotgun microphones feature a new capsule design that delivers lower noise and higher sensitivity, with on-board digital switching providing control of the mic's 75Hz high pass filter, 10dB pad and high frequency boost controls. Additionally, the NTG4+ comes equipped with an internal rechargeable lithium battery, providing up to 150 hours of operating time – and which can be recharged via any USB power source.

From RØDE, the NTR ribbon mic is built around a precision 1.8 micron fine aluminium ribbon element, completely de-coupled from the microphone body to give transparency and minimum resonance. The ribbon element feeds a high gain, low noise output transformer which will feed a wide range of preamps without the need for excessive gain.

Also making its UK debut at BVE is the Genelec 8300 family of Smart Active Monitors (SAM) – specifically the 8320, 8330 and 8351 models, and the associated 7350 subwoofer. All SAM models cleverly marry DSP hardware and software to automatically optimise and align themselves for relative levels, time of flight, subwoofer crossover phase as well as individual room response compensations.

The 8320 and 8330 models are both two-way die-cast aluminium designs based around Genelec's proven Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) and Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), while the 8351 is a three-way design which combines Genelec's breakthrough Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) technology together with their Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver and Maximised Directivity Control Waveguide (MaxDCW) to produce controlled directivity over a very wide bandwidth.

Finally, completing the Source booth line-up are the PreSonus RM-series of compact, recallable rack mounting digital mixers – controlled and driven by PreSonus’ own UC Surface software for Mac, Windows and iOS.
