Merci Daniel !

Depuis des décennies les utilisateurs de SONOSAX remportent des César, Bafta, Oscar et autres distinctions, pour la production du son de films.

Cette année, c’est différent.

Le jeune musicien Daniel Blumberg a composé toute la musique du film The Brutalist, et il a également enregistré toutes ces compositions avec un enregistreur SONOSAX SX-R4+ et un pré-amplificateur micro SONOSAX SX-AD8+. Cette superbe musique est totalement acoustique et il s’est beaucoup déplacé pour enregistrer certains musiciens chez eux, d’autres dans un club de jazz, ou encore dans le cirque naturel de la carrière de marbre de Carrare.

Très proche de Brady Corbet, Daniel a créé la musique en suivant le déroulement du film. Certaines phrases musicales remplacent carrément des bruitages de machines, par exemple, avec un piano préparé…

Daniel a également utilisé un SONOSAX SX-M2D2 pour travailler dans l’avion, sur son ordinateur.

Nous sommes très fiers d’avoir contribué, modestement et de loin, à cette épopée. La manière de travailler de Daniel exploite au maximum les possibilités de nos appareils, très hautes qualités musicales, portabilité, fonctionnement sur batteries… une sublimation!

Ce travail exceptionnel s’est vu récompensé par le BAFTA et par l’Oscar de la meilleure musique de film.

Bravo et merci Daniel!

Nous avons un autre client, Paul Sissener de DCLR studio en Suisse.

Depuis quelques années, il travaille avec les SONOSAX SX-R4+ et SX-AD8+ pour des prises de son. Il enregistre régulièrement, entre autres, à la Cathédrale de Lausanne.

Récemment, il a complété son studio avec notre SONOSAX SX-DD2 pour le monitoring.

Carnet noir : Chris Newman

Nous avons appris récemment le décès de Chris Newman, célèbre ingénieur du son aux USA.

Juste après avoir reçu son Oscar pour le film de Milos Forman en 1984, il nous a approché et a fait l’aquisition d’une table de mixage SONOSAX SX-S. Il nous avait demandé quelques modifications pour être au plus près de sa manière de travailler.

Il a ensuite fait de nombreux films, entre autres Le patient anglais et le Silence des Agneaux, tous deux couronnés d’un Oscar.

Quelques années plus tard, il nous avait commandé une 2ème SONOSAX SX-S, son originale étant bien usée…

Chris était un personnage très attachant et d’une grande générosité. Il a transmis son savoir et son expérience à de nombreux jeunes, dans différentes écoles.

Nos meilleures pensées vont à ses proches et à sa famille.

Thank you Daniel!

For decades, SONOSAX users have been winning César, Bafta, Oscar and other awards for film sound production.

This year is different

Young musician Daniel Blumberg composed all the music for the film The Brutalist, and he also recorded it all with a SONOSAX SX-R4+ recorder and a SONOSAX SX-AD8+ microphone pre-amplifier. This superb music is totally acoustic. What’s more, Daniel travelled extensively to record some musicians at home, others in a jazz club, or in the natural circus of the Carrara marble quarry.

Very close to Brady Corbet, Daniel created the music as the film unfolded. Some musical phrases even replace machine sounds, for example, with a prepared piano…

Daniel also used a SONOSAX SX-M2D2 to work on his computer while on the plane.

We are very proud to have modestly contributed, and from afar, to this epic. Daniel’s way of working makes the most of the possibilities offered by our equipment, with its high musical quality, portability and battery operation – a sublimation!

This exceptional work was awarded the BAFTA and the Oscar for best film score.

Bravo and thank you Daniel!

We have another user, Paul Sissener from DCLR studio in Switzerland.

For a few years now, he has been working with the SONOSAX SX-R4+ and SX-AD8+ for sound recording. He regularly records, among other places, at the Lausanne Cathedral.

He recently completed his studio with our SONOSAX SX-DD2 for monitoring.

Carnet noir : Chris Newman

We recently learned of the death of Chris Newman, a famous sound engineer in the USA.

Just after receiving his Oscar for Milos Forman’s film in 1984, he approached us and purchased a SONOSAX SX-S mixer. He asked us for a few modifications to be as close as possible to his way of working.

He then made many films, including The English Patient and The Silence of the Lambs, both of which won an Oscar.

A few years later, he ordered a second SONOSAX SX-S from us, his original being very worn out…

Chris was a very endearing and generous character. He passed on his knowledge and experience to many young people in different schools.

Our best thoughts go out to his loved ones and his family.

Joseph Tarradellas, author of the book “Le son suisse” and editor of the “Matériel de légende” section in the magazine “Vinyle & Audio” says: “for a music lover who is also an audiophile and wants to digitise his magnetic tapes (or cassettes/vinyl, etc.) in the highest quality, the SX-M2D2 combined with free software such as Audacity is the perfect solution.”

Up to 4 audio channels on ALEXA35 using the SONOSAX AEM-1 and SX-M2D2

Specifically designed for the ARRI ALEXA35, the SONOSAX AEM-1 offers a fantastic and compact solution, acclaimed by ALEXA35 users for its sound performance and ergonomics, but limited to 2 channels. Adding our SX-M2D2 is the perfect solution for upgrading to 4 channels.

Using a single cable, the SX-M2D2 is powered by the camera and sends two additional analogue channels to the ALEXA35. As the camera’s analogue input has a slightly lower dynamic range, the SONOSAX SX-M2D2‘s limiter can be engaged to protect the ALEXA35’s analogue inputs from overload.

A new batch of SONOSAX SX-DD2 ready for delivery.

After solving the problem of component shortages, the SONOSAX SX-DD2 converter/preamplifier is again available.

For the HI END MUENCHEN visitors, a  SONOSAX SX-DD2 is on display at the PSI booth (Halle3, R09), our neighbour and friends making the famous PSI studio active speakers, and the AAVA, low frequency active absorber.

The SONOSAX SX-RX8+ available in stock

The SONOSAX SX-RX8+ receiver’s holder with rotary controllers is also compatible with the series 8 of our friendly competitors SOUND DEVICES.

As with our SONOSAX SX-LC8+ control surface, the SX-RX8+ features a MIDI-USB interface for controlling gain and other functions on the 8 Series via an 8-pin Binder to USB cable.

Classical recording

Joseph Tarradellas, auteur du livre « Le son suisse » et rédacteur de la rubrique « Matériel de légende » du magazine « Vinyle & Audio » témoigne : « pour un mélomane qui est également audiophile et qui souhaite numériser ses bandes magnétiques (ou cassettes/vinyles, etc.) dans la plus haute qualité, le SX-M2D2 associé à un logiciel gratuit comme Audacity est la solution parfaite. »

Jusqu’à 4 canaux audio sur ALEXA35 en utilisant le SONOSAX AEM-1 et le SX-M2D2

Spécialement conçu pour l’ARRI ALEXA35, le SONOSAX AEM-1 offre une solution fantastique et compacte, plébiscitée par les utilisateurs de l’ALEXA35 pour ses performances sonores et son ergonomie, mais limitée à 2 canaux. L’ajout de notre SX-M2D2 est la solution parfaite pour passer à 4 canaux.

À l’aide d’un seul câble, le SX-M2D2 est alimenté par la caméra et envoie deux canaux analogiques supplémentaires à l’ALEXA35. Comme l’entrée analogique de la caméra a une plage dynamique légèrement inférieure, le limiteur du SONOSAX SX-M2D2 peut être activé pour protéger les entrées analogiques de l’ALEXA35 contre les surcharges.

Un nouveau lot de SONOSAX SX-DD2 prêt à être livré

Après avoir résolu le problème de pénurie de composants, le convertisseur/préamplificateur SONOSAX SX-DD2 est à nouveau disponible.

Pour les visiteurs du Salon HI END de Munich, un SONOSAX SX-DD2 est exposé sur le stand PSI (Halle3, R09), notre voisin et ami fabriquant les célèbres enceintes actives de studio PSI et l’AAVA, absorbeur actif basse fréquence.

LE SONOSAX SX-RX8 PLUS disponible en stock

Le support du récepteur SONOSAX SX-RX8+ avec contrôleurs rotatifs est également compatible avec la série 8 de nos sympathiques concurrents SOUND DEVICES.

Comme notre surface de contrôle SONOSAX SX-LC8+, le SX-RX8+ dispose d’une interface MIDI-USB pour contrôler le gain et d’autres fonctions de la série 8 via un câble Binder vers USB à 8 broches.

IBC International Broadcasting Convention 2023

IBC will soon open the door in Amsterdam. Meanwhile our company will not exhibit this year, our new light weight Dual Minislot receiver’s holder with rotary fader extension SONOSAX SX-RX8+ can be seen at Wysicom booth nr 8.C51.

The SONOSAX SX-RX8+ is available in stock. Shall you need any further information, Jacques Sax will be present at IBC on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 and will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

After a long struggles to source components, we finally found all the parts we needed to manufacture our products. Some are available in stock; others will soon become available again.

The post SONONEWS SEPTEMBER 2023 appeared first on Sonosax.

We are very pleased to learn that Tony Johnson was the production sound mixer on AVATAR, The Way of the Water, for which he used his SONOSAX SX-ST, as he did for the first Avatar.
Tony, who received numerous awards and nominations, acquired his SX-ST mixer in 2005 and immediately used it on The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Tony says:

I used my SONOSAX SX-ST for all of my work on many movies since 17 years.
I have resisted going to a control surface as my mixer as I think the SX-ST offers so much more flexibility and being able to route anything anywhere while rolling cameras and not having to go through a menu means real time adjustments on the fly are possible. 
It was the perfect choice for Avatar-Way of Water.

As Tony mentioned, his 17 years old SX-ST mixer was engaged in countless number of major productions, which for us Sonosax is not only a proof of reliability and durability, but also a source of great pride and motivation to continue manufacturing outstanding and long lasting audio equipments.

Visit from Ed Novick

It is always a pleasure to receive our customers.

In October, Mr. Ed Novick, one of our other very good and loyal customers, visited us, bringing one his second SX-ST mixers in for a service.

As his T-shirt proudly states, Ed claims to be SONOSAX’s Longest Continuous Customer! Maybe we should open a contest on that subject.

He started with a SONOSAX SX-S in the early 80’s and now has two SONOSAX SX-ST mixers. An 8 channel one that he bought in 2008 and is still in use. And more recently a 12 channel which he acquired in 2017.

Ed also received several awards, among others an Oscar for Inception in 2011 – and numerous nominations for his work on TV series and feature films as production sound mixer.

Ed is one of those cheerful, friendly, fun people you want to make a long-term friend of.

More about Ed’s work at: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0637085/

And sometimes we visit our customers : Themis Zafiropoulos and Nikos Dimitrakakos

During a trip, Jacques Sax had the pleasure to share a dinner with two of our customers in Athens/Greece:
Nikos Dimitrakakos & Themis Zafiropoulos are both Audio Recording/Remixing Engineers and fans of our products.

Themis says:

” We record acoustic music and we’ve been using Sonosax devices, analog and digital, for a long time. From the venerable SX-S analog mixer in the early 90’s to the R4+ and more recently to several AD8+‘s connected over Dante.
Super compact solutions with ultimate sound quality. Thank you Jacques! “

Carnet noir – Michel BUHLER

In the years 1974 to 1977, before the foundation of SONOSAX, I worked with many artists as a sound mixer and sometimes for the lighting as well.

Among them was Michel Buhler who sadly passed away on November 7th 2022. Michel, born in 1945, was a Swiss singer, writer, poet and composer.

I had the chance to make the sound for him, accompanied by Léon Francioli, double bass player (deceased in 2016) and Nono Muller, accordion player (deceased in 2014)…

It was by working with all these musicians that I learned the “sound” that I then became interested in magnifying.

I would like to pay tribute to this trio of musicians with whom I had some incredible moments.

SONOSAX SX-RX8+ This newcomer would be almost ready if there were not a few components that are not available at the moment. We will not be able to announce an exact delivery time until we have ALL the components. We thank you for your understanding and patience.

MERGING merging with SONOSAX We have collaborated with MERGING on the mechanical design of their excellent ANUBIS product. We now go further and announce that our SONOSAX SX-AD8+ is compatible with the ANUBIS thanks to the RAVENNA/DANTE link in AES67 mode. This link is unfortunately limited to 48kHz because of a restriction in the software of the Dante card in AES67 mode. As both devices allow it, we do not despair of supporting 96kHz or even 192kHz in the future. It is always a pleasure for us to collaborate with other manufacturers (in the past Beyer Dynamic, Weiss Audio and more recently Sound Devices and even a small one with PSI). You can also read the Merging newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/merging/merging-insider-newsletter-april-202241%

SPEAKING OF SWISS AUDIO Our congratulations and thanks to Mr. Joseph Tarradellas for his book which traces the history of the Swiss audio industry. This book is unfortunately only available in French for the moment. https://www.epflpress.org/produit/1025/9782889154364/le-son-suisse23%

ISE -BARCELONA We will not be exhibiting at ISE Barcelona. This does not prevent us from having slipped some of our products into the suitcases of other manufacturers. You will have the chance to find the following products on the booths of our colleagues: The SONOSAX SX-R4+ and the SX-RX8+ at Wisycom The SONOSAX SX-AD8+ at Merging, The SONOSAX SX-DD2 at PSI. The ideal complement with a pair of PSI A25 for your living room, and if you do not have enough space, a pair of ADN-2A.

SONOSAX SX-RX8+ Ce nouveau venu serait quasiment prêt s’il ne manquait quelques composants indisponibles pour l’instant. Nous ne serons donc pas en mesure d’annoncer un délai de livraison précis tant que nous n’aurons pas TOUS les composants. Nous vous remercions de votre compréhension et de votre patience.

MERGING merging avec SONOSAX Nous avons collaboré avec MERGING au niveau du design mécanique de leur super produit ANUBIS. Nous faisons maintenant un pas supplémentaire et vous annonçons que notre SONOSAX SX-AD8+ est compatible avec l’ANUBIS grâce à la liaison RAVENNA/ DANTE en mode AES67. Cette liaison est malheureusement limitée à 48kHz due à une restriction dans le soft de la carte Dante en mode AES67. Les 2 appareils le permettant, nous ne désespérons pas de supporter 96kHz voire même 192kHz dans le futur. C’est toujours un plaisir pour nous de collaborer avec d’autres fabricants (dans le passé Beyer Dynamic, Weiss Audio et plus récemment Sound Devices et même une petite avec PSI). Vous pouvez voir également la newsletter Merging : https://mailchi.mp/merging/merging-insider-newsletter-april-202219%

ISE -BARCELONE Nous n’exposerons pas à l’ISE à Barcelone. Cela ne nous empêche pas d’avoir glissé quelques uns de nos produits dans les valises d’autres fabricants. Vous aurez donc la chance de trouver les produits suivants sur les stands de nos confrères: Le SONOSAX SX-R4+ et le SX-RX8+ chez Wisycom, le SONOSAX SX-AD8+ chez Merging et le SONOSAX SX-DD2 chez PSI, complément idéal avec une paire de PSI A25 pour votre salon, et si vous n’avez pas la place une paire de ADN-2A.

The post SONONEWS AVRIL 2022 appeared first on Sonosax.

Dear customer, partner and friend,

Yes, we are experiencing one of the most bizarre period since a year and a half now, to the point that I forgot the SONONEWS this last summer!

Like many other manufacturers of electronic devices, we are also very busy sourcing components, redoing price calculations, trying to get correct shipping prices, etc.

It is not the funniest activity, and moreover, it forced us to postpone for 6 months the end of the development of our SX-RX8+ … We do not give a deadline for deliveries, which depends on certain suppliers who do not give us any guarantee.

We will publish in the next few days the new price list with, unfortunately, increases …

Trade shows

We will be exhibiting at the IBC in Amsterdam, December 3-6, 2021, hoping that many of you will visit us.

SONOSAX SX PLUS serie

Our SONOSAX SX-R4+ and SX-AD8+ are now available with the DANTE / AES67 card. The addition of the card in the SX-R4+ must imperatively be done at SONOSAX. The addition of the card in the SX-AD8+ can be done at some of our agents or at SONOSAX.

The corresponding software for the SX-R4+ is: V4.0BETA if the SX-R4+ is equipped with the DANTE / AES card, and V3.75 for the SX-R4+ without the DANTE card.

The SX-AD8+ software is compatible with the DANTE / AES card.

Our SONOSAX SX-RX8+ will be compatible, in addition to the brands outlined in our SONONEWS this spring, also with the new SHURE ADX5D receiver.

Our SONOSAX SX-LC8+ has been out of stock for 2 months, victim of its success, in particular thanks to the compatibility with SOUND DEVICES in USB mode. We will start new deliveries at the end of November and in order of orders received.

Analog is not dead

This year we delivered several SONOSAX SX-ES to folley recording studios. This superb little analog console, with optional digital output, is becoming the standard for this application all over the world.

SONOSAX SX-DD2

Here above is an installation with our SONOSAX SX-DD2, several parts of which were delivered this year, mainly for use in stereo systems, shown here with a pair of SONOSAX SX-ADN2A speakers. Note that this device is produced in limited quantities, once again, due to the problems of acquiring key components. It will probably become a “collector”!

FILMING WITH THE SONOSAX SX-R4 plus

The film “Klammer, Chasing the Line” tells the story of skier Franz Klammer at the 1976 Olympic Games, the preparation and the pressure before the race. He was only a little faster than his main competitor, Swiss skier Bernhard Russi.

Half of the film took place on the original 1976 ski slope in Tyrol, Austria. The other half was shot in a studio in Vienna.

My first idea was to build two setups, small and light equipment for all mountain scenes, where it had the sparkle of documentary filming. And a larger sound card setup for studio situations.

But shortly after having the Sonosax SX-R4+ in my hands, I decided to do the whole movie with this little powerhouse.

Its flexible design made it perfect for this movie. It’s small, lightweight, low power consumption, so there’s no need to carry a lot of batteries with you.

A big plus was the LC8+ and its small and light design. This gave me the perfect opportunity to have an 8 fader linear expansion on the mountain. For the studio setup, I just connected a second LC8+ to have an extension of not 8, but 16 channels.

The simple and clean design of the SX-R4+ makes it very easy to control even when wearing gloves.

And one thing I like the most is that there is no USB connector on the device. Each connection is made with a solid connector.

Entering the metadata of this machine is very simple and does not require the use of an external keyboard.
