We are very proud to introduce exciting new products at NAB and to also launch an Ambient project that comes from the heart.
With the all new ASF-2 Compact Hydrophone, we have expanded our popular underwater product range. Additionally, we’ll present a sneak preview of some exciting new features of the Master Lockit and introduce the ACN-LSB slate bag to the American market.
With more than 20 years in the timecode and synchronization business, we have collected an extensive knowledge base we would like to share with you. Therefore, we took great effort to create a video library covering practical methods for timecode and synchronization distribution. We also included instructional videos illustrating recommended Lockit setups with popular production cameras.
Please visit us in the central Hall booth # C3951 with Redding Audio.
The ASF-2 Hydrophone is affordable, easy to use – and simply a great sounding hydrophone. Designed with key components used in the renowned ASF-1, the ASF-2 effectively utilizes the same professional hydrophone technology for outstanding underwater audio capture.
With a frequency range of 70Hz-20kHz, we designed a microphone able to capture a perfect spectrum of sounds while effectively avoiding low frequency noise created by cable handling.
The housing is machined out of high-quality aluminum with an anodized exterior for protection against the corrosive nature of seawater, while the 10m polyurethane cable is cast into the housing for a water-tight seal. These design attributes enable the ASF-2 Hydrophone to easily withstand the roughest field conditions.
In addition to being an affordable hydrophone, the ground-breaking design of the ASF-2 is makes it affordable to operate as it is compatible with standard professional audio equipment. Terminated with an XLR connector and powered by 48V Phantom, this plug-and-play hydrophone is designed for use with today’s professional field mixers and recorders for outstanding underwater recordings.
Never before has professional underwater audio capture been so affordable.
Availability: The ASF-2 is now shipping!
The ACN-LSB bag protects the slate against shocks, rain and dirt. With a rigid, sewn-in framework, this bag can withstand even roughest production conditions. The robust, waterproof fabric with long, overlapping cover forms a reliable shield against any weather conditions and keeps your slate dry and clean
Due to magnetic buttons, the bag can be closed and locked – even in low-light situations without a second look. Additionally, the magnets release when pulling the slate handle for lightning-fast slate removal. Quivers for board markers and other utilities are placed on both the bag front and under the lid, providing easy access for left and right handed people. With several loops on the bag and the comfy carrying strap, the slate can be put on a belt, sound cart, or a magliner. Providing excellent protection and flexibility, the ACN-LSB can be conveniently placed or hung near the AC or sound mixer for quick access to the Lockit Slate.
Availability: The ACN-LSB will be available late-summer 2016.
As timecode and sync technology is our passion, for many years we at Ambient Recording have wanted to develop easily accessible, short-subject educational videos that break down and explain these modern production elements.
Ambient University provides the information and instruction for low budget productions as well as the most sophisticated setups all around the world.
Our videos about timecode and synchronization provide in-depth background information, while other videos demonstrate how to use that knowledge in the field
This video library includes step-by-step tutorial videos illustrating external timecode and sync distribution setups with the most commonly used cameras from ARRI, RED, Sony, Panasonic, Canon, etc.
Our goal is to continuously develop and update the channel to provide the most comprehensive pool of knowledge on this topic – that’s always available in your pocket
After integrating popular cameras into the ACN timecode and metadata system, we now expand the Master Lockit functionality to the audio world. With the upcoming firmware the ACN-ML will be able to connect to Sound Devices 788T and 6-series mixers / recorders.
This will not only ingest audio take metadata into the ACN, it also offers remote control functionality right within the Master Lockit’s web interface.
Furthermore, it fully integrates the audio recorder into the ACN timecode system with zero drift Continuous Jam and comprehensive TC monitoring.
