Last week I spent some time on the show floor of InfoComm 2011 in Orlando. Specifically I got to check out some new products at the Behringer, Avid, and PreSonus booths and see what was happening in the audio world.
New Products, New Concepts
Behringer was promoting their new personal monitoring system, the Powerplay at their booth and it is awesome. It’s a super elegant and affordable way for bands to create their own custom monitor mixes for the stage or studio. Avid was showing off the new line of Mbox audio interfaces running on Pro Tools 9. And the guys at PreSonus were schooling me on some live integration of Studio One with their awesome line of live mixers, the StudioLive.
I want to personally thank John Dinicola (Behringer), Michael Pearson-Adams (Avid), Rick Naqvi (PreSonus) and Jonathan Hillman (PreSonus) for taking time out of their busy days to chat with me and show me around. I had a blast. Check out the video and see for yourself!

foo, you’re backyard ain’t got no fountain!!!
just kidding.
Interesting post, especially the behringer monitor mixers. Seems like a good product. How do performers usually tune in their own monitor mixes?
and I loved the gators!
Yeah, generally performers need a monitoring or FOH engineer to adjust their monitor mixes. This would give you complete control on stage. Kind of nice.
Great seeing some videos from InfoComm; Can’t seem to find any other video coverage of it. Some great hardware and software on show; I’m just hoping that Pro Tools HD 9 is compatible with Lion sooner rather than later because I’ve grown very fond of it over the last few months. Great piece of software!
