Snell modules incorporate Linear Acoustic technology

The new IQ modules will include Upmax upmixing and Aeromax loudness control developed by Linear. The IQ modules will include compressive audio processing functions allowing complete control over external and embedded signals in stereo and 5.1.

Linear Acoustic, a reference in audio control from production to broadcast, has closed an agreement with Snell to integrate its technology into Snell's modular product line.

The founder of Linear Acoustic, Tim Carroll, has been very pleased to work together with the professionals at Snell. “Broadcasters and others who visited NAB 2011 were very interested in the integration of the new 3G conversion modules and the IQ modular solution,” Carroll said.

The IQ modules will include compressive audio processing functions allowing complete control over external and embedded signals for applications requiring channel routing and mixing.

An important addition to these standard audio features is the inclusion of technology developed by Linear Acoustic for upmising and loudness in both stereo and 5.1.

Steve Cole, product manager of modular solutions at Snell, commented: "We are very pleased to be working alongside Linear Acoustic, a leader in the field of audio technology. Working together, we will be able to offer significant benefits to our customers who require industry-leading audio control solutions."
