BLACKMAGIC DESIGN ANNOUNCES NEW BLACKMAGIC AUDIO MONITOR 12G
Blackmagic Design has announced Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G, an upgraded model of its rack mount audio monitoring solution. The Audio Monitor 12G features 12G-SDI video input, HDMI output, analog and AES/EBU inputs, a powerful class D amplifier, dual subwoofers, extended range speakers, an LCD and precision meters that can display VU, PPM and Loudness ballistic scales.
The Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G features the 12G-SDI technology, along with professional balanced analog XLR and AES/EBU audio inputs, and consumer level HiFi audio inputs. Compatible with all analog and digital equipment the multi-rate 12G-SDI connection automatically switches speed based on the input signal.
The Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G is incredibly small yet possesses a surprisingly loud, crystal clear sound. The new class D amplifier, combined with a dual subwoofer design and extra wide range speakers is powerful and loud enough to hear in noisy environments.
The front panel is designed from a solid block of machined aluminum and features a volume knob, control buttons, a standard headphone connection, precision meters, and an integrated LCD screen. The audio meters feature 27 individual multi-colored RGB LED segments per channel so the meter scale is infinitely customizable, making it easy to monitor a wide dynamic range. Meters can be customized to display VU, PPM and Loudness ballistic scales with a choice of EBU or BBC meters. Plus, they’re brightly lit making them perfect for viewing in both bright or dark environments.
“It’s completely flexible and is perfect for monitoring broadcast feeds and transmissions in control rooms, monitoring audio in tight broadcast trucks, or even when working in a post-production suite!” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design.
