MSE Audio announces the 70V-based RS1201i SuperT subwoofer, designed for use in an open-ceiling or surface-mounted into the ceiling to produce low frequencies to the surrounding listening are.

The RS1201Ti SuperT uses 70/100V technology the company claims is devoid of the losses in sensitivity and low-end frequency response due to typical transformer behaviour. The 12-inch subwoofer is ideal for use in installations with music louder than typical background music, and additional bass is needed, such as bars, nightclubs, retail and hotels with sizable open ceiling areas.

Crestron adds features to the DM NVX 1Gbps AV-over-IP platform at ISE 2020-- including native AES67 support and a switching system the company claims is both fast and glitch-free.

With AES67 support, DM NVX endpoints can send breakaway audio from a video source to mixers, DSPs and amplifiers, as well as receive signals from mixers, DSPs and microsoft with support for the AES67 standard. Meanwhile the ultra-fast no-glitch switching delivers "virtually imperceptible" switching from one network stream to another.

“We have a steadfast commitment to continuously evolving the DM NVX platform to be the best in every way,” the company says. “Last year, we brought exclusive Pixel Perfect Processing technology to DM NVX to deliver image quality as good as the source, and over a standard 1 gigabit network-- no need for all the expense and disruption of installing a new 10 gigabit network. This year, we’ve taken audio support and switching speed to an entirely new level. Even better news, these capabilities will be implemented across the entire product line.”
