SENNHEISER XSW IEM EK

Applications Studio, live performance

With XS Wireless IEM, you can easily link additional receivers to one transmitter – connecting more band members to a new level of detail. The lightweight bodypack remains unnoticed once clipped onto clothing or a belt. Users can plug in the included IE 4 in-ear monitors or upgrade to the IE Pro series with the 3.5mm output. The status LED shows battery and link status at a glance – while the high-contrast front panel allows for individual fine-tuning, from balance to focus modes to EQ to limiter, so you can design an individual mix. Key features Lightweight bodypack with rear clamp and stage-proof control panel

Menu access to receiver sound settings such as focus modes, volume control, limiter and EQ Pan control for individual balance of the input channels

JH AUDIO LAYLA

Applications Studio, live performance

JH Audio says Layla will replicate details of instruments in a way that makes it feel like the musicians are in the room with you. Layla offers a flat, accurate sound with plenty of headroom, while the product also has, according to JH Audio, the most sophisticated crossover network ever put into an IEM; the shape of all crossover filters is fourth-order. Highly recommended for performers who want a pure sound and loads of detail, or for the audiophile who is looking for hi-fi on the go. Key features Powered by Soundrive Technology: quad low, quad mid, quad high Custom-made proprietary balanced armature drivers (12 per side) High-purity OFC 4N silver-plated litz wire cable

YAMAHA RIVAGE PM10

Applications Live events, theatre, performing arts

The Rivage PM10 is a new generation of Yamaha PM digital mixing system. In terms of sound quality, operation, functionality, reliability, expandability and more, the Rivage PM10 is a thoroughly refined flagship that defines the direction for future generations. All Rivage PM system components are compatible, and components from earlier systems will work in combination with later systems. That goes for I/O racks as well as DSP engines, so in addition to operating them separately, you can combine DSP engines in mirrored configurations for large applications, for example.

Key features Hybrid microphone preamplifiers Two types of I/O Channel EQ and compression refined to unprecedented levels
