Autograph Sales' Mike Mann detailed the company's new direction: "Autograph Sales is a revitalized company, we have come of age and entered a new phase," he said. The company has tracked down several smaller independent audio manufacturers - one being EM Acoustics, a young British loudspeaker manufacturing company based in Surrey. With Autograph Sound Recording using many DiGiCo D5Ts on high profile theatre shows, Autograph Sales has recently also taken on the D1. On the software front, acoustic analysis programme Room Tools from German company Ascendo was being demonstrated. Working in conjunction with a USB audio box with software can provide RTA, FFT, waterfall plots of frequency decay, amongst other things, in real time.Finally, Mann was excited to show us the new GR2 Analogue Zone Mixer from Allen & Heath: the model with serial number 1, in fact.
