Onkyo has released a firmware update to add Deezer support to a range of its AV receivers and network audio devices. Deezer is one of the most popular subscription-based, streaming music services, with access to a library of more than 53 million songs.

Last week, Amber Technology exhibited at the tenth annual Integrate exhibition in Sydney - a three-day event showcasing the latest in AV technology from around the world.

It takes more than aesthetics to impress top FOH Engineers in the music industry. Karl “Snake” Newton has worked on projects with Robbie Williams, Pet Shop Boys and Craig David and knows and appreciates the level of skill and expertise that goes into great live audio. Just recently, he worked with Harry Styles for his world tour production and relied on DPA Microphones to mic up the entire drum kit, as they dotted their way across Europe before landing in Australia in April 2018.

Last weekend, Amber Technology exhibited at the Melbourne Guitar Show where we sampled some exciting new product launches and demos from Warwick, TC Electronic, Radial and so much more. To see some photos from the jam-packed weekend, scroll to the bottom of the page.

Digital Projection have released four new projectors worldwide, and you will be able to find out more about their release in Australia and New Zealand later this year at Integrate 2018.

Marlan Barry is among the world's most accomplished and recognised classical music and acoustic recording producers, having served as the head recording engineer for Houston Grand Opera for 15 years. He specialises in a range of different styles, including operatic, electro-acoustic and jazz. He recently assumed the recording and post-production responsibilities for The Orchestra Now main concert series, as well as The Bard Music Festival at the Frank Gehry designed Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. Just recently, whilst in the midst of recording Nicholas Phan’s album “Gods & Monsters”, he used DPA’s d:dicate 4003 Omnidirectional Microphone.

There are very few microphones existing in the world that can withstand the extreme cold, moisture and wind inherent in Antarctica’s harsh environment and documentary maker Nerio Gutierrez (Playground Estudio) knows DPA is arguably the best. Last year, he and his team spent six weeks aboard the Spanish Navy’s scientific vessel, Hesperides, recording the sounds of penguin colonies, whales, zodiacs and various other marine life both on and offshore, for his film Antarctica: A Message from the Frozen Planet.
