Applied Microphone Technology, a.k.a. AMT, unveils its 3rd generation of Harmonica microphone systems : the HR3.

Designed and manufactured by hand, the HR3 aims to reproduce the sound of a harmonica as natural as possible. This microphone is intended to fit different sized harmonicas from diatonic to 16 hole. The HR3, unlike the former HR1 and HR2 systems from AMT has a clamp that adjusts by a thumb and an allen screw to fit different sized instruments. It also includes AMT's new DCT (Disconnecting cable technology) which allows easy replacement of the cable from the microphone as well as giving it the ability to interface with various wireless systems on the market. The included AMT inline preamp can be placed on the floor, a belt clip, or in a pocket and has a low roll-off filter as well as a dB cut.

Applied Microphone Technology begins shipping the HR3 Harmonica Microphone System in March of 2009.

MeldaProduction has released MEqualizerLinearPhase, an 8-band linear phase equalizer designed for mastering, however due to its very high speed it is suitable for mixing too.

MEqualizerLinearPhase is a surgical tool for mastering - it has a clear sound with minimal distortion (measured below -160dB). It doesn't smear transients or create mud, nor does it alter the imaging and depth information of the original sound. It is especially useful to enhance or correct difficult material like vocal or instrumental soloists and groups, orchestral recordings and complex mixes, without introducing any unwanted coloring.

Features :

- 8 band parametric linear phase equalizer with 7 types of filters - peak, low-shelf, high-shelf, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch.
- 3 equalization algorithms with (approximately) the same frequency response - true bidirectional filtering algorithm, FFT algorithm and standard non-linear phase equalization. - Bidirectional filtering provides maximal accuracy and minimal noise ratio. As a supplement MEqualizerLinearPhase implements a standard equalization and FFT algorithm adopted in most cheap linear phase equalizers. This way you check all of the methods and find the best one for particular case.
- Adjustable dry/wet mix - what is impossible for common equalizers due to phase alteration is not impossible for MEqualizerLinearPhase.
