IP-based stageboxes provide an efficient and versatile solution for remotes.

The Far-Reaching Benefits of IP-based Audio Stageboxes September 4th 2018 - 01:00 PM

Networked modular audio stageboxes have been around for a while and were hailed as a convenient alternative to clunky snakes and the huge patch bays that came with them. Unlike analog stage- and wallboxes, which usually only transmit signals to fixed locations or else require intricate and time-consuming cabling, they simplify connections and provide flexibility with respect to the I/O types.

How Ribbon Microphones Became Popular Again September 4th 2018 - 08:00 AM

Ribbons were the first great microphones, mainly due to their very musical, natural sound qualities. Invented in the 1920s, their run of popularity lasted until the 1960s when ribbons fell out of favor. That was not because of the microphone itself, but due to changes in the way voices and music were recorded. Now ribbons are back in favor. How did that happen?
