2015 Mission Statement

Despite the continuous rise of

the home recording studio—an

effect of more affordable record-

ing gear within the market—the larger

By Steve harvey

If there has been a single, overriding

trend to emerge from PSN’s State

of the Industry surveys over the past

several years, it is the steady erosion of

client budgets. This year is no different;

budgets continue their downward trend.

But for one company, at least, business is

up, and for the industry at large, digital

audio networking promises to introduce

workflow efficiencies that will surely help

facilities increase throughput and, conse-

quently, profitability.

“I’ve had the busiest summer I’ve

ever had,” says Tom Seufert, Califor-

nia-based founder and creative director

of Visual Music. The boutique music

house, established 16 years ago, offers

custom and library music, music super-

vision and sound design. “I lost at least

Moore’s Law was

invoked several

times at the recent

eighth annual Creative

Storage Conference in Los

Angeles. But as noted by

conference participants, stor-

age has lagged behind pro-

cessing power, leaving a per-

formance gap that has really

only started to close over the

past decade.

A s I n t e l ’ s G o r d o n

Moore observed in 1965,

semiconductor process-

ing power doubles—or the

cost is halved—every two

years, although some ar-

gue that’s now closer to 18

months. Naturally there is an

equivalent law for storage,

named after Mark Kryder of

Seagate, who noted in 2005

that magnetic disk storage

density now doubles approx-

imately every 18 months.

One current hot topic in

storage is collaborative work-

flows, with data being moved

over dedicated networks or

the internet. But for all the

talk of the cloud, local hard-

ware still reigns supreme.

“Connected storage is

growing fastest because it

enables people to work to-

gether and get jobs done

faster,” according to confer-

ence founder and industry

consultant Tom Coughlin,

of Coughlin Associates, in

Sweet TimesSweetwater’s annual GearFest event

keeps growing, attracting industry lumi-

naries like Bruce Swedien (left below)

and Sweetwater’s own Mitch Gallagher

(right), along with the thousands of

attendees that make the pilgrimage to

Fort Wayne, IN for the experience (and

deals).

Immersed In

The Classics A 67-year-old tradition, the Ojai Music

Festival is a four-day celebration of

classical music. Schubert Systems pro-

vided the sound system for the Libbey

Bowl, including a 7.1 d&b audiotechnik

loudspeaker package and Soundcraft

console, manned at FOH by Ben Maas

(below), who mixed with a goal of giving

the Bowl seats a concert hall experience,

and of maintaining localization and spa-

tialization cues that matched musician

placement and audience visuals.

SOS—The call went out to the Nashville community to gather to help

“Save Studio A,” and over 200 individuals showed up with the media to

hear Ben Folds and others address the potential loss of the facility. For

more on the Studio A controversy, see page 8.

I n the kitchen, if you need a processor, a mixer or a blender, you simply plug

it in, use it, then put it away. It’s an imperfect analogy, but Ethernet-capable audio tools have similarly become appli-ances—plug in the unit you

need, swap it out when you need a different device for a different application.There are various audio networking protocols (some also carry data and control traffic) currently in use. But with the publication of the AES67-2013 standard, a subset of these existing pro-tocols, potential industry-wide interoperability is on the horizon. “We are seeing the equiva-lent of the XLR connector in networked audio develop via the new AES67 standard,”

says Phil Wagner, president, Focusrite Novation, Inc. “In a short while from now, we will look back at the transi-tion from analog to network cabling and wonder what took us so long,” continues Wagner, specifically noting the convenience and cost sav-ings associated with audio-over-IP (AoIP) networking. “Set-up times are greatly minimized by using AoIP, and it’s getting easier to use AoIP with more manufactur-ers coming to the party.”

Preserve And ModernizeThe Radial Engineering JDI passive direct box (shown

below) was the company’s first product

to employ a Jensen trans-former. Now Radial has acquired Jensen Transformers with a pledge of main-taining that company’s independence and dedication to quality while improv-ing manufacturing workflow. Radial’s Peter Janis and Jensen’s Bill Whitlock tell the merger’s story.

Semi-SilverSemiconductor maker THAT Corp. was formed 25 years ago with a dedication to providing analog semiconductor solu-tions. Though serving an industry that has morphed increasingly towards digi-tal signal paths, THAT’s singular focus has found abundant applications not only for those who prefer to stay in the analog domain, but for those who build devices for the analog-by-necessity front- and back ends of digital systems.

MOONSHINE AND MARS—Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and

producer Bruno Mars recently performed on stage at Wireless Festival in

Finsbury Park in London, UK, as part of his Moonshine Jungle Tour 2014.

For his vocals, Mars used the Audio-Technica Artist Elite 5000 Series with

AEW-T6100a hypercardioid dynamic handheld microphone/transmitter.

R eturning to an annual tradition, Pro Sound News recently surveyed its readers about their primary and secondary business activi-ties, job titles, and income.

We also asked that they share whether their primary occupa-tion and income had changed

in the past year, and whether

they anticipated change in the coming year.

Under 20 percent of our anonymous survey respondents reported an income from their primary business pursuit in each of the three lowest ranges: under $10,000, $10,000 to $24,999 and $25,000 to $49,999. 29 per-(continued on page 52)

2015 What Our Advertisers Say About Us

...and go through it from cover to cover”

“when I get my copy, I drop what I’m doing...

“ There are very few trade periodicals that I consider ‘primary reads’, i.e.

when I get my copy, I drop what I’m doing and go through it from cover to

cover. Pro Sound News not only has that distinction, but also is considered

to be a primary buy when it comes to advertising expenditures because I

think many others share my enthusiasm.”- Jeff Alexander, Vice President-Sales and MarketingProfessional Products Division,

Sennheiser Electronic Corporation

“ We continue to directly experience increased sales on

products advertised in both PSN and SCN. The right

campaign with the right magazine can do wonders for

your bottom line. While many are hailing web advertising

as the new paradigm, print advertising is alive and well!”- Bill Wenzloff, Sales and Marketing Manager, Sound Enhancement Products, Inc.

“ Pro Sound News is an integral

part of Audio-Technica’s marketing

initiative to reach the live, recording

and pro audio communities. Their

staff is extremely helpful and

professional. They partner with us

to reach our communications goals

while maximizing our advertising

dollars. PSN is an on-going winner,

addressing a wide demographic

with current, relevant editorial that

people actively seek out; and we

want our message to be

a part of it.”- Jeff Simcox, Executive Director of Marketing,

Audio-Technica U.S., Inc.
