ALT WHITE-OUT EP Review Compulsion Magazine

New review of ALT White-out from Compulsion Online Magazine
ALT WHITE - OUT

ALT's White-out is a homespun brew of industrial,krautrock and noise rumblings.The pulsating distortion of the first track 'Long Now',picks up on old school industrial greyness.The second track 'Cold Bones' is even heavier with shuddering vibrations; its heavy low end sound so deep they shake your speakers. The tremulous throb is undelined with soft rustling rhythms, the occasional clank and chimng guitar notes, that pushes the krautrock influence into LaBradford / Stars of the Lid territory. The other two tracks on this EP are far noisier affairs. 'Whiteout' is awash with jerky bass throb,distorted rumblings and soft-swishing rhythms,while 'Mirror Phase'
is part obliterated motorif beat and part scaping tape abuse.

Each of the tracks on the White-Out was compiled from seperate tapes of guitar,bass and noise cut and pasted together. It's a distinctly DIY approach but ALT deliver an engaging musical vision to ensure these anonymous experimental minimalists are well worth checking out. White-Out EP and newer EP Pulse II are available to buy through Indmill records as high quality 320 Kbps MP3 for little over a pound each with 5% being donated to charity.For more information go to www.myspace.com/altonlne

Calrec introduces a modular version of its Hydra2 I/O unit.















Calrec has introduced a modular version of its popular Hydra2 I/O unit.

This compact 3U box has 20 slots which take an array of modules, and allows the unit to be designed to a broadcaster’s exact specifications. Its modular nature enables our customers to design and build a network around their specific needs, resulting in a mix of audio interfaces with an extremely high density of connections, saving rack space and cutting costs.

Designed for studio floor and outside broadcast applications, the unit has all audio (including SDI) and control connections (Hydra2 links, GPIO, Serial) located at the front of the unit, with power cables connected at the rear.

Each of the 21 slots is 4HP, or 0.8 inches wide, with one slot being a dedicated Hydra2 interface module. The remaining 20 slots are all available for other audio interfaces. These cards can be made up of:

Mic/line inputs

Line inputs

Line outputs

AES3 inputs (unbalanced)

AES3 outputs (unbalanced)

AES3 inputs & outputs (balanced)

Dual SDI embedder

Dual SDI de-embedder

Card types can be freely mixed, and as it is a Calrec-designed piece of kit, both primary and secondary Hydra 2 links are provided as standard. In addition, two PSU modules provide redundant power, and PSU modules can be hot-swapped without interruption to operation
as can any of the interface cards.

SDI embedders and de-embedders support SD, HD and 3G SDI streams and are able to decode all four groups (16 channels) and later, as well as de-embedding 32 audio channels from 3G SDI as proposed by SMPTE.

To illustrate the density and flexibility of these boxes one such box can deal with:

40 mic/lines on XLR or

80 line inputs and 80 line outputs on DB25s or

80 unbalanced AES3 inputs or 80 unbalanced AES3 outputs on BNC, or combinations thereof or

160 balanced AES3 inputs and 160 balanced AES3 outputs on DB25 or

32 Embedders or 32 de-embedders (for 16 channel de-embedding), or combinations thereof.

As part of the Hydra2 network, each box will be able to deal with 512 bi-directional signals.

The Modular box joins Calrec’s well established range of fixed format boxes on the Hydra2 network, which provides an enormous 8192 ² synchronous router with mini-GBIC connectors allow customers to fit their own cable connectors. Hydra2’s router is a TDM-type router, capable of true 'one-to-many' routing and is truly point-to-point; any input on one router can address an output on any other. This allows for enormous networks with highly flexible topologies involving multiple routers.
