Roaming around the vast space of ISE 2014 one can spot some very interesting products-- such as the admittedly impressive Concert series speakers from Steinway Lyngdorf.

Steinway is most famous for its pianos, but it also makes very high-end audio products. How high-end? Enough to demand pricetags starting off from $40000 for a more basic (relatively speaking, of course) 5.1 system to up to $200000 for a gigantic Concert loudspeaker.

Introduced at ISE are the LS-R210 and LS-R212 boundary woofers, rear-firing systems promising the simultaneous arrival of first critical reflections and direct sound to listening position within a compact understated design.

Stewart Audio introduces the DSP4x4.This state of the art product addresses most problems impacting sound quality in typical installations from speaker matching to room acoustics.

The DSP 4x4 is an affordable way to add DSP processing to new or existing installations. With 4 Line/Mic inputs and 4 outputs, the DSP 4X4 is for presentation systems and mixed-zone applications, where larger count DSP’s are either too expensive or leave many channels unused. With fixed chain architecture and powerful processing in a compact package, this product fits in either an equipment rack or in the listening environment.

The signal path includes a variety of blocks, including multiple gain stages, ducker, EQ, compressor, full matrix mixer, limiter and delay. Inputs can be either line or mic level with 24V phantom power available. The set-and-forget configuration is done through the front USB port via an intuitive Windows user interface program.

The new AudioForum conference, held the day before ISE 2014, is your opportunity to keep up-to-date on professional audio’s integrated digital transport protocols and systems.

AudioForum will be an opportunity for professionals and companies of different backgrounds to “sit around the same table” of the culture of systems integration, in a productive exchange which will lead to an ever improved dialogue between the worlds of systems integration and the more specific world of professional audio.
