playListen · · 5.5 minutes to read
  • Just in time for Christmas, Zoom (the audio equipment manufacturer) is to launch the Zoom PodTrak P4next, a portable XLR multitrack recorder with “AI noise reduction”, compression and tone shaping. Here’s a demo video. It’s marked as “coming soon” on B&H for $179.99. We’ve not had a press release for it, but it appears to have been announced yesterday.

  • Already got a nice recorder, but want your studio to be less echoey? GIK Acoustics have released a new set of acoustic treatment panels for studios, including bass traps and corner traps. The panels have new patterns and a choice of material colours.

  • In the UK, Global ran its first-ever Audio & Entertainment Upfronts, highlighting the arrival of Global Studios, the launch of a new sports entertainment division, and a new podcast from Emily Maitlis. The company also launched Global:IQ, a data and effectiveness platform to “bring together first-party data, advanced analytics, and AI-driven creative optimisation tools”.
