Pliant Technologies has announced the introduction of CrewCom Flex, a frameless matrix intercom system and complete matrix IP-based intercom platform that converges wired, wireless, and virtual voice communication on a standards-based AES67 / SMPTE ST 2110 backbone without the limitations of traditional matrix hardware frames.

Latvia-based JZ Microphones announced the launch of the MU-1, a studio microphone housing a ribbon element and a large-diaphragm condenser capsule side-by-side in a single level-matched and phase-coherent body. Designed by Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer Marc Urselli (U2, Nick Cave, Foo Fighters, Lou Reed, Elton John, John Zorn), the MU-1 is designed to replace a decades-old two-microphone studio technique with a single session-repeatable tool.
