USB audio interface
Henry Engineering
USB Matchbox II: The USB Matchbox II is a USB audio interface used instead of common PC sound cards. It
eliminates typical PC interface problems of buzz, noise, insufficient headroom and incorrect levels. It also includes
the most useful features of the USB Matchbox products, providing both analog and digital interfaces. There is stereo
analog I/O on XLRs at professional levels, as well as an AES/EBU digital output, plus a headphone output for critical
monitoring. The USB Matchbox II features Burr-Brown's new generation phase coherent ADC/DAC, in addition to advanced
audio circuitry. The unit supports 32, 44.1, and 48kHz sample rates and is plug-and-play compatible with Windows, Mac
and Linux operating systems. It also features a built-in ac power supply to ensure operation at professional audio
levels with available headroom.

Lighting
Litepanels
1x1 Low-Profile: The Litepanels 1x1 Low-Profile fixtures protrude three inches from the ceiling or wall
surface where they are mounted. This results in practically no loss of headroom or room space. Because the LED lamps
on the Low-Profile are tilted at 40 degrees off axis, light is projected forward from the fixture to softly light the
subject. Like all Litepanels LED lighting fixtures, the Low-Profile draws little power, and can be operated from
12Vdc. The fixtures are cool to the touch, even when operating, so they add no heat to a cramped space. And like
other Litepanels 1x1 fixtures, it is dimmable via DMX or a control on the fixture itself, with no noticeable shift in color temperature.

Solid-state FM transmitter line
Nautel
NV Series: Building on the NV40, Nautel now offers FM output power ranging from 3.5kW to 44kW with the
NV3.5, NV5, NV7.5, NV10, NV15, NV20, NV30 and the flagship NV40. The NV Series of products offer several unique
capabilities. An Advanced User Interface (AUI) provides more control with access from virtually anywhere, and the AUI
increases station efficiency by making it easy to monitor and control. Nautel provides a control system with a 17"
touch screen interface that manages the whole transmitter and multiple exciters. Real-time instrument-grade spectral
analysis allows a station to quickly ensure that the signal is optimized for digital broadcast. All NV Series
transmitters are digital-ready, allowing a plug-in Exgine upgrade to HD Radio broadcasting. Adaptive pre-correction
provides linearity and IBOC transmission with no need for additional filters. Common modules across the product line
are a plus for customers with multiple transmission sites.
