48 F A L L 2 0 1 8 C A S Q U A R T E R L Y I was able to attend the 145th Convention of the Audio Engineering Society in New York this October. The Javits Center hosted a mini-NAB Convention simultaneously in an adjacent hall, but both were somewhat smaller than last year. It's apparently getting really expensive for exhibitors; driving some smaller and boutique manufacturers away. That said, here are a couple of things that caught my eye (and ears). Lectrosonics displayed their recently introduced SPDR (Stereo Portable Digital Recorder), a tiny, two-channel recorder for bag or other application. It was developed in response to customers looking for a small, lightweight, two-channel recorder with additional features. MSRP is $1,495. Rycote has a nice Quick Release system, competitively priced. VR's popularity was evident at many booths. Zoom showed their H3-VR recorder with a built-in Ambisonics mic. Zylia has a 3D mic with more than a dozen elements in it, along with some cool recording/post software. Most of the Sound Devices MixPre recorders can now use USB fader panels, like this Novation Launch Control. 2018 AES New York Convention and Exhibition b y G .
