To the best of my knowledge the Vorsis M-1 Microphone Processor, announced last year - will be hitting the street in the very near future. I just posted preliminary information in this post on the Podcast Academy site. Needless to say this device looks ultra-cool and warrants serious consideration.
More to follow …

I spent a few weeks working with the Aphex 240 Advanced Gating and Compression System. This is a two channel dynamics processor that I often recommend to producers who require a high end component that is user friendly and cost affective. I’ve posted a review on the PCA site.
This type of processor lacks all the […]
I just stumbled upon a very interesting new product that I will be keeping a close eye on. I realize that what I am about to discuss is most likely something that the typical podcast producer would not have the slightest bit of interest in.
Many people continue to suggest that a podcast is nothing more […]
Vorsis is now providing extensive data and specs on their site for their new product line that was introduced at NAB this year. The HD-P3 HD Signal Processor for example, is designed to be used for various aspects of broadcast and production signal processing. Features include: three-band processing with adjustable crossover points, four-band parametric […]
Ever wonder what commercial radio and broadcast facilities use to play audio CD’s on the air? The Tascam CD-601 MkII is specifically designed for on-air broadcast production. This CD player offers many unique features. The operator can select between main send/play [on the air], or pre-listen [monitor] modes. You can also save up to 10 […]
Vorsis has announced three new processors at NAB 2006. The HD-P3 HD Radio Signal Processor, and the M-1 Microphone Processor look very interesting. Also announced, the AP-1000 Digital Spectral Processor. More details as they become available. Preliminary brochures are provided on the site.

I continue to keep a close eye on the Vorsis AP-3 Digital Signal Processor. There is one major issue that I need to consider: the lack of Mac software support. The PC control software currently available looks flat out fantastic. The processor has the capability to be operated via front panel controls, however this is […]
The Ariane Sequel Digital Audio Leveler by TransLanTech Sound is a customizable audio leveler and RMS control processor. This component is of particular interest to me for a few reasons. I have mentioned in the past I have managed to develop an external analog chain which provides a recording that requires essentially zero post […]
I originally expressed interest in the Marantz PMD 570 last May. My thinking at the time was two fold. It is now apparent live audio for many conferences, speeches and interviews is captured directly to CF media. Sure it is easy enough to transfer the captured audio and prepare for submission. However many clients […]
Recently Aphex introduced their new model 240 Dual Logic Assisted Gate™ - Compressor. The patented circuitry of the Gate is designed to never false trigger, click or chatter, as is the case with the Model 622, which is included in my signal chain. [See post from June 16, 2005].
The Compressor and Gate in this processor […]
I continue to explore various aspects of external voice processing. As mentioned, I am working towards eliminating various aspects of dialog post processing. I have added a second Aphex 109 parametric eq to my chain. I now have the capability to control [equalize] 2 mic channels with independent parameters. The parametric eq’s are […]
This is the next piece of gear I will pursue. The Aphex 250 Aural Exciter Type III is essentially the pro broadcast version of the Aphex 204, minus the optical big bottom effect. Aphex states the 250 will ‘increase loudness, calrity and presence without disrtortion or overmodulating the signal’. Also, the processor actually ‘extends’ […]
I was able to secure yet another great deal on eBay for this discontinued Aphex 109 Parametric Eq. They are often listed on eBay, and I have been keeping a close watch for one in good condition. Turns out this particular piece is new in the box, never used. The dealer is reliable and I […]
This format has won me over. Doug Kaye mentioned it may just be the ‘best kept secret for protable recording applications.’ Sony introduces the MZ-M100 Pro Recorder . It uses Hi-MD media discs with 1 GB stotage capacity. Files can be uploaded and downloaded using a PC, and uploaded to a Mac with […]
The Vorsis AP3 Two-Channel Digital Signal Processor is a single rack space component that features a four-band paramatric EQ, three-band compressor, tunable filters with AGC limiting and expansion. The component provides an array of digital/analog inputs and outputs, as well as DB-25, DB-9 and Cat5 connectors. Remote operation and monitoring is possible using Ethernet-enabled GUI […]
After 4 months of patient searching I finally purchased an Aphex 320a Compellor on ebay from a radio station based in Colorado. I will be using this piece of gear mainly to process audio files while digitizing.
Besides delivering intelligent compression processing, the Aphex Systems 320A Compellor will handle leveling and peak limiting during audio content […]
As mentioned on The.Point no.36, I will be adding the Aphex 105 Logic Assisted Gate to the production rig. Whenever you are dealing with analog devices and microphones, noise is sure to creep into your signal path. With the Aphex 105, all you have to do is set a threshold point. With 4 channels at […]
Use the 422 by Symetrix to create constant audio levels and intelligibility for broadcast and other audio applications using automatic gain control and peak limiting. You set the ‘target’ output level to the desired point and the 422 gently boosts signals that drop below your target, and smoothly pulls back those that rise above […]
The DBMax by T.C. Electronic is a full featured dynamics processor capable of multi-channel compression, equalization and limiting. The DBMax is programed with 60 presets for custom applications, and are helpful in assisting in creating a unique sound style or ’signature’ in various aspects of broadcasting applications. AES/EBU, S/PDIF and Analog outputs are […]
The Marantz PMD570 is a pro Installation Solid State recorder. You can record directly to Compact Flash Cards with 16-48kHz sample rates and 32-384 bitrates. File formats include MP2, MP3, WAV and BWF. The component offers various methods of connectivity including balanced XLR line inputs with variable trim. Most importantly you […]
The ProVocal Digital by dbx features a superb mic preamp, gating, compression, de-esser and limiter. Also includes various DSP effects, for eample reverb and delay. The piece offers a 24-bit S/PDIF output with selectable 44.1 or 48k sample rates, and of course 48v phantom power. MSRP. $300 US.

As mentioned I have been on the look out for a new compressor. My first choice was the Aphex 661. I missed one of these in mint condition on eBay a while back. I feel my audio is sounding pretty good using a $150 dbx 266XL, and it did not make sense to spend […]
This piece by Aphex is a Tube Compressor/Limiter that has some unique features. ‘Tubessence’, provides vintage tube sound, ‘Easyrider’, which automatically senses proper compression parameters based on wave forms with available bypass for manual configuration. This single channel component offers other useful features and is recommended for Music Production, Sound Reinforcement, Broadcast and […]
Besides offering classic dbx gating, compression, limiting and de-essing, this dynamics processor delivers 24 bit A/D and D/A converters as well as an intuitive display panel with 50 factory presets to help speed up work flow. The operating system allows user defined presets, and Digital Input/Output is also available as an option. […]
Ever since Michael from Reel Reviews pointed me to Aphex Systems, I have been spending some time researching their product line, which is quite impressive in my opinion. The Aphex 2020MkIII Broadcast/Post Production/Mastering component might find its way into someones high end podcasting rig sometime in the future. Besides the obvious compression, limiting, […]
The new 230 Master Voice Processor by Aphex features:•Tube Mic preamp• EasyRider Compressor• Logic Assisted Gate• De-esser• Parametric EQ• Aural Exciter/Big Bottom.
