| Content | The KT-AES50 network module provides a dual port AES50 digital audio interface, compatible with both the Klark Teknik DN9650 and DN9652 Network Bridges and the Midas NEUTRON-NB Dual Network Bridge Expansion Module for the industry-leading NEUTRON High Performance Audio System Engine.
Featuring up to 48 bidirectional channels at both 48 kHz or 96 kHz sample rates, with dual port redundancy in 48 kHz systems, KT-AES50 enables the interconnection of two AES50 networks operating at 96 kHz and 48 kHz respectively, as well as providing expanded AES50 channel counts in either 48 kHz or 96 Hz AES50 networks.
KT-AES50 is designed for simplicity of use, and can operates from the incoming AES50 clock or an external clock via host unit. Panel-mounted LED indicators show the connection status for both AES50 ports.
KT-AES50 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the industry standard Cirrus CM-1 format.
SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) digital audio networking technology from Klark Teknik simultaneously provides high channel counts, ultra low and deterministic latencies, sample-synchronous and phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection and correction, network redundancy, and ease of deployment and use – to meet the demanding requirements of live concert touring.
KT-AES50 is compatible with all Midas digital consoles, audio system engines, digital I/O units, as well as with any other AES50-equipped devices. |
The Tascam iM2X turns an Apple iPhone 4, iPad or iPod Touch 4G into a powerful PCM audio recorder for CD-quality recordings. It consists of a pair of condenser microphones and a high-quality preamp and plugs into the dock connector of the iOS device. The microphone elements are XY oriented for clear stereo definition and minimal phase differences. Moreover, they are adjustable over 180 degrees for the best sound placement.
Unlike mics that use the iOS deviceʼs built-in preamp, the iM2X with its internal A/D converter ensures low noise and better linearity in frequency response. The microphone elements also used in Tascam DR series recorders can handle sound pressure levels up to 125 dB to capture the loudest concerts and instruments without distortion. Thanks to an input level control and a two-colour level meter, level adjustment is very simple. A switchable limiter also contributes to this by reducing sudden peaks and protecting against unforeseen overload.
The iM2X powered through the dock connector, so no battery is required. A USB input is provided to charge the iOS device for long recordings, either through a computer or a USB charger.
An appropriate 2-track recording application (Tascam PCM Recorder) for iOS devices can be downloaded from AppStore at no charge.

Design and specifications subject to change without notice. | Although it can look quite simple, a small multi-zone installation is not always an easy or small job for the installer. He needs to install and connect many electronic units (sources, amplifiers, wall panels...) in order to provide the perfect audio solution for his customer. With Apartʼs AUDIOSYSTEM8.8 the installer now can propose a complete audio system to his customers that covers many small or medium sized applications... with just one unit! |
