Ad insertion system
OMT Technologies
iMediaAdcast
Can interface directly to most popular automation systems, taking
commands directly from the digital audio system via serial interface or
TCP/IP. IMediaAdcast can also be operated via simple closures, if a
user's digital audio system is not currently supported. iMediaAdcast
can be used to substitute more than just commercials. IMediaAdcast can
block out whole hours of programming and replace it with
Internet-approved content. IMediaAdcast can replace liners and stingers
to better promote your station's Internet presence.

Confidence monitors
Furman Sound
MS series
The models in this series are housed in single space chassis. A pair
of full-range, shielded stereo speakers are built in, along with a
speaker mute switch. A TRS output is provided for headphone listening.
A phase indicator displays the phase relationship of the left and right
channels of the source being monitored. Each input is routed to a
fourteen-segment LED meter. All analog I/Os are high common-mode
rejection XLR balanced, and each is provided with a rear-panel signal
activity indicator. Outputs also have +/-6dB gain trim controls. The
unit is powered with an included UL-approved external power supply via
a DIN 5 connector. Models with digital monitoring capability are
equipped with an A/D select button and both front and rear digital
signal activity indicators. The digital inputs can accommodate stereo
digital signals sampled at rates up to 96kHz, in AES/EBU format, via
rear panel BNC inputs.

Beacon light
Dialight
L864
The first LED-based flashing red beacon for marking radio and television towers and other obstacles that pose hazards to aircraft
navigation, the new light is designed to meet the requirements of the
FAA, Transport Canada, and ICAO. Designed primarily as a replacement
unit for 300mm incandescent red flashing beacons in existing
installations, the L864 flashing red beacon mounts to standard bolt
patterns and requires no additional wiring, controllers, or monitors.
It uses high-flux LEDs and uses 90 percent less energy than standard
incandescent beacons that consume a minimum of 1240W. Its unique design
optimizes LED performance, resists shock and vibration, and provides
360-degree visibility, while minimizing unwanted ground-lighting
effect. The L864 flashing red beacon carries a limited five-year
performance warranty.

Aural exciter
AphexSystems
Model 204
A revitalized version of the Aural Exciter, the new Model 204, which replaces the older Model 104, features an Optical Big Bottom for
enhanced low-end response; two independent channels; new packaging with
a revamped front-panel layout; internal power supply; XLR and
¼-inch I/O connectors; plus updated circuitry for improved overall
sound quality and user flexibility. The Model 204 features a
new-Millennium front-panel design and operator controls, plus a custom
light-dependent resistor as the gain-control element. As a result,
dynamic range is increased by 10dB with increased flexibility. The
patented Big Bottom circuit dynamically shapes the bass response in the
20Hz to 120Hz range, increasing the perception of low frequencies
without boosting the maximum peak output.

C 900
Featuring a 24-carat gold transducer case for optimum conductivity and resistance to corrosion and humidity, the C 900 offers a
frequency-independent cardioid polar pattern optimized for high gain
before feedback. The C 900 also boasts a frequency range of 20Hz to
20kHz, which is enhanced by the integrated PB 1000 Presence Boost
Adapter that provides a 3dB to 4db peak between 5kHz and 13kHz and
allows for better intelligibility and sound. The C 900 features
sensitivity at 1kHz of 6mV/Pa, impedance is 200ohms and can handle a
maximum SPL of 139dB at 1 percent THD. The C 900 also features a
standard three-pin male 24-carat gold plated XLR-type connector.

Digital monitor
ATI
DM200
Accepts loop-thru AES/EBU digital audio via 110ohm XLR and 75ohm BNC and RCA connectors. A 24-bit, 96kHz D/A converter feeds stereo
headphone drivers, balanced audio line outputs and a stereo LED meter.
Input sample rates of 32, 44.1, 48, 82.2 and 96kHz are decoded and
indicated with a front-panel display. A data valid light indicates that
there have been no data or transmission errors. Bright, stereo,
two-color LED meters are switchable to the D/A converter output and
indicate headroom down from 0dBFS. Display ballistics are PPM for
optimum indication of audible peaks.

Universal telephone interface
JKAudio
ComPack
This single pack provides audio connections to cell phones, PBX phone systems, and plain analog phone lines. For use with cell phones,
simply plug ComPack into the 2.5mm headset jack of your wireless cell
phone. The phone will recognize ComPack as a headset, which will
disable the mic and speaker in the phone. For PBX systems, unplug the
handset from any analog or digital PBX phone and plug the coiled cord
into ComPack. With analog phones, plug ComPack into an RJ-11 jack, go
off-hook and dial, or answer an incoming call. ComPack also functions
as a simple telecom interface for a beltpack intercom system. This
allows users to connect the three-pin XLR to a beltpack intercom group
for a full duplex, always-on connection to any telephone network.
