Akg Acoustics Named Reference Standard For Roland Microphone Modeling Technology
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, January 18, 2001 – In an agreement that demonstrates the quality and universal recognition of its technology, AKG Acoustics today announced that Roland Corp. will use AKG condenser microphones as the reference standard for designing its COSM Microphone Modeling software. The AKG C 3000B large-diaphragm microphone is the first microphone to be supported under the agreement.
In their reference capacity, AKG microphones will serve as the standard in developing Roland's COSM Microphone Modeling software, which allows users to model the characteristics of a variety of microphones. According to Roland, using a reference standard ensures that the resulting recordings will accurately represent the sound characteristics of the modeled microphones.
The AKG C 3000B will be the first microphone to be supported by the new software, with other models to follow. With the C 3000B feature currently available with the VS-2480 Digital Studio Workstation, the AKG reference standard will be part of future software upgrades for Roland's additional V-Studio and V-Mixing products.
Roland is a world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of electronic musical instruments, professional audio equipment, multimedia products and music accessories.
AKG Acoustics microphones and headphones are manufactured in Vienna, Austria. AKG Acoustics, U.S. markets the full line of AKG Acoustics microphones and headphones for recording, concert, sound reinforcement, commercial sound and broadcast applications. AKG Acoustics, U.S. is part of the Harman International family of companies.
