Digital radio console
Studer
On Air 2500: The Studer On Air 2500 is a totally self-contained system and builds upon the operational concepts of its predecessor, the On Air 2000. With the On Air 2500, the control surface, I/O breakout, DSP core and power supply are all integrated within a single compact chassis. The console's fader strips each include a graphical OLED (organic LED) screen, which contains a channel label, level and gain reduction meter and parameter readouts, adjustable via a rotary encoder and two push buttons below the display. OLED screens have a much wider viewing angle than LCDs, and have much higher definition, so operators can immediately see information much more clearly. The large TFT color touch screen uses Studer's patented Touch'n'Action system, where only the most important functions have hardware control elements in the channel strip making the consoles' operation very simple and stress-free.

Power conditioner
Furman Sound
Merit X Series: The Merit X Series is an upgrade to Furman's existing Merit line, which provides convenient, rack-mountable power conditioning products. The M-8x provides eight filtered and protected rear-panel outlets with a front-panel convenience outlet, and a Protection OK indicator light. The M-8Lx adds pull-out light tubes (with dimmer knob) for discreet rack illumination, while the M-8Dx provides light tubes as well as a laboratory-grade, front-panel digital voltmeter to monitor incoming voltage. The Merit X Series features better protection with a higher joule rating, increased noise filtration for a lower noise floor and a more robust chassis, with wall-wart outlet spacing on the rear panel to accommodate bulky power transformers.

Automatic mixing controller
Dan Dugan Sound Design
Model E-1: The Model E-1 automatic mixing controller helps professional audio mixers handle multiple live mics without having to continually ride their inidual faders. This eight-channel signal processor patches into the input insert points of an audio mixing console. It detects which mics are being used and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing the mixer to focus on balance and sound quality instead of being chained to the faders. The Model E-1's voice-controlled crossfades track unscripted dialogue perfectly, eliminating cueing mistakes and late fade-ups while avoiding the choppy and distracting effects common to noise gates. Without the need for gating, a natural low-level room ambience is maintained.

Audio level controller
Audessence
ALPS-1: The ALPS-1 provides control of perceived loudness, dynamic range and peak level.
