BEST THINGS COME... The A20-Mini from Sound Devices is a transmitter with 64GB of internal storage
Maximum quality from SoundDevices A20-Mini
Sound Devices has unveiled the A20-Mini, a miniature transmitter offering internal 32-bit recording and full remote control via the A20-Remote app. It has a worldwide tuning range of 470-694MHz and is compatible with the A10 digital wireless system. There is 64GB of internal storage for more than 80 hours of recording in 48kHz, 32-bit float – a file format that allows the gain to be adjusted after recording, with zero loss in headroom or noise performance. Files can be transferred to a computer via USB-C, or converted to standard 24-bit files using the free D-Utility companion app for Mac and Windows.
Recordings and RF transmission offer 10Hz-20kHz audio bandwidth, and the recordings are synchronised by the internal time code generator. While most digital wireless systems require gain to be set at the transmitter, receiver and recorder, Sound Devices’ GainForward system allows gain, limiters and low-cut to be set directly on the firm’s mixer-recorder, with no loss in sound quality. The £2130/$2200 A20-Mini is sleek, rugged and water-resistant with rounded corners, powered by three AAA batteries or a rechargeable Sony NP-BX1 battery. sounddevices.com

Professional loudspeaker brand
Genelec is marking the 15th anniversary of its popular GLM speaker manager software
with the introduction of GLM 4.1 (compatible with all Genelec Smart Active monitors and subwoofers). This update offers significant new features, thanks to the next-generation AutoCal 2 automatic room calibration algorithm, delivering a more precise frequency response in a fraction of the time previously possible. GLM 4.1 gives the user control over a room’s detrimental acoustic influences, producing mixes that translate consistently to other rooms and playback systems. GLM’s reference microphone kit allows room acoustics to be accurately analysed, after which each monitor and subwoofer can be calibrated automatically. genelec.com
