Blue Sky Introduces SAT 265
2-Way/Tri-Amped, 300W High Output Near-Field Active Studio Monitor
World-renowned for their accurate, full-range sound, Blue Sky is pleased to introduce its newest critical listening component to its full line of monitoring solutions: the SAT 265 High Output Near-Field Active Studio monitor. Blue Sky’s fresh approach to studio monitor design delivers the highest possible ratio of performance to cost, in turn providing the highest value to our customers.
Blue Sky’s SAT 265 is a 2-way, tri-amplified, 300-Watt, High Output Near-Field Monitor which features two 6.5” high excursion hemispherical woofers and a 1” dual ring radiator tweeter with integral waveguide, for superior off-axis response. Powered by a dedicated low distortion 100-Watt amplifier for each of the 6.5” woofers, it also features a low distortion 100-Watt amplifier for the tweeter. The SAT 265 effortlessly delivers clean and accurate sound with a frequency response of 80Hz to 30kHz +/-3.0dB (200Hz to 15kHz +/-1.5dB) for full compatibility with Blue Sky’s SUB 15 Universal, SUB 212, SUB 12 and BMC (Bass Management Controller). The rear panel also has controls for “full space” (placement in a room) or “half space” (mounted in a baffle wall) operation, along with HF level trims, as well as controls for variable gain settings.
Making the subwoofer an integral part of the monitoring system design enables the SAT 265 studio monitor to be positioned for the best imaging, and the SUB to be positioned for the best bass response. Relieving the SAT 265 studio monitor of the requirement to reproduce the low frequencies means that the uncompromising sealed-box design can combine with sophisticated bass management electronics, to provide a seamless transition between the SAT 265 and SUB. It all adds up to accurate, full range sound.
The SAT 265 has been designed to integrate perfectly with Blue Sky’s new SUB 212, a sealed box, push-pull, 400-Watt subwoofer. The push-pull configuration reduces distortion, provides increased output, and features an anechoic frequency response of 25Hz to 200Hz, +/-3dB. In addition, the SUB 212 also has built-in 2.1 bass management electronics with both a 4th order 80Hz Linkwitz-Riley low-pass filter and a 2nd order 80Hz high-pass filter that is perfectly matched to the response of the SAT 265 (the SUB 212 is also compatible with the SAT 265, SAT 6.5 and SAT 5). When combined, the SAT 265 and SUB 212 provide a stunningly accurate and engaging, full-range monitoring system.
About The SUB 212
Blue Sky’s SUB 212 is a sealed box, dual 12”, push-pull, 400-Watt subwoofer. It features an anechoic frequency response of 25Hz to 200Hz, +/-3dB. In addition, the SUB 212 also has built-in 2.1 bass management electronics with both a 4th order 80Hz Linkwitz-Riley low-pass filter and a 2nd order 80Hz high-pass filter that is perfectly matched to the response of the SAT 8 (the SUB 212 is also compatible with the SAT 12, SAT 6.5 and SAT 5).
The SUB 212’s unique “push-pull” configuration is designed not only to increase output, but also to reduce distortion. A push-pull subwoofer uses two drivers: one mounted facing forward, the second mounted backward with the magnet facing out. Utilizing two drivers doubles the maximum output, while the push pull configuration reduces even harmonic distortion. Typically, in a more conventional design, at high output levels, second harmonic distortion dominates the distortion spectrum of most subwoofer drivers and is caused by asymmetric operation of the suspension and magnetic structure. In simple terms; the output of the driver is slightly different when the cone is moving away from the magnet, as compared to when it is moving toward its magnet.
Push-pull operation reduces this even harmonic distortion in a clever application of physics. As mentioned before, push-pull uses two drivers, one reversed from the other. The bottom driver has its magnet facing out of the box and is driven electrically out–of–phase from the front driver, which keeps both drivers acoustically in phase. However, when the front driver’s cone is moving away from its magnet, the bottom driver’s (reversed) cone is moving towards its magnet. This puts the even harmonic distortion components of the bottom driver out-of-phase with the front driver. When you combined the outputs of both drivers, the even harmonic distortion of both drivers cancels, reducing the overall distortion of the subwoofer.
NOTION3 release announced
[offizielle Pressemeldung]
Greensboro, NC (PRWEB) September 17, 2009 — NOTION Music, Inc. (www.notionmusic.com) has announced that NOTION3, the much anticipated upgrade of their award winning music notation software, will start shipping on September 24, 2009. NOTION3 features an entirely new design, an expanded and enhanced sample library, new live performance features, and incredible compatibility with plug-ins, sample libraries and digital audio workstations (DAWs). NOTION3 is the first product to bridge the gap between music notation software and an audio application, allowing musicians to not only create and listen, but to perform live or produce music with stunning results.
Describing the inspiration for NOTION3, Jim Boitnott, President of NOTION Music credits feedback from their customers, „Numerous customers told us they didn’t want just another music notation program. They wanted their notation software to integrate with their DAWs, to be compatible with other sample libraries and plug-ins, and they wanted a clean intuitive interface that supported their workflow. We are proud to say that NOTION3 has definitely delivered.“
New Features in NOTION3
Sleek, Intuitive Interface and Workflow – allowing you to use notation, guitar tab, or MIDI devices to craft music of any style, be it orchestral, jazz, or rock. The screen view is designed to remain uncluttered, and to provide easy access to the most frequently used tools. For musicians writing for guitar or bass, NOTION3 features an interactive fretboard and chord library.
Over 10GB of Instrument Samples – exclusively featuring the sounds of The London Symphony Orchestra. The LSO sample library included in earlier versions of NOTION has been expanded and enhanced with new close mic stereo samples that truly capture the essence of each instrument. NOTION3 includes both the legacy and new sample libraries. In addition to the orchestral sounds, NOTION3 features electric and acoustic guitar by Neil Zaza, electric bass by Victor Wooten, drums by Roy „FutureMan“ Wooten….all recorded at world-famous studios.
Professional Audio Mixer – NOTION3′s pro audio mixer is unlike anything typically seen in notation software, complete with buses, inserts, sends, multiple direct channel outs and VST effects. Resembling what you would see in a digital audio workstation, the NOTION3 mixer, along with the dynamic markings in the score, provide detailed control of the mix and sound. You have the flexibility to control and mix your entire score or group the mixer into instrument sections to adjust volume, panning, reverb, and effects.
Unmatched Studio Compatibility – Built to be compatible, NOTION3 is the only notation product with full ReWire integration that supports both host and slave options. It also works effortlessly with VST effects and VSTi libraries with built-in presets to easily integrate with popular sample libraries such as: Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition and Special Edition Plus, Miroslav Philharmonik, East West Quantum Leap Platinum, and Garritan Personal Orchestra (ARIA). NOTION3 comes bundled with IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube X-Gear and CSR Hall Reverb.
SequencerStaff – a feature unique to NOTION3 that brings the world of notation and sequencers together. This feature enables you to record MIDI input directly onto a standard notation staff while retaining all the MIDI data such as modulations, bends and dynamics. The MIDI data displayed on the staff includes duration, range in pitch, and dynamic information, which can be easily edited.
Live Performance with NTempo – NOTION3′s suite of live performance features make it possible to „play“ a notated score like a musical instrument for accompaniment, rehearsal, or professional live performances. It is the only notation product with real-time tempo control that includes vamps, repeats, and other advanced score navigation features. With the NTempo feature, you can tap the speed of a score to the fraction of note level, providing the kind of rhythmic nuance you hear when playing a traditional musical instrument. NOTION has been used in numerous touring productions worldwide ranging from hit musicals like Annie and The Wizard of Oz to Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell tour.
NOTION3′s street price of $199.00 is less than half the price of competitors Finale and Sibelius. NOTION Music is also offering free upgrades to registered users of NOTION 2.0 or earlier. Explaining the bold move, Boitnott says, „We know our customers were the ones that made NOTION3 possible, so we wanted to show our gratitude by giving them a gift that we are very proud of.“ Registered users of NOTION Music’s other products, PROGRESSION, and PROTÉGÉ, as well as competitive notation products like Finale and Sibelius can upgrade to NOTION3 for $99.00. Details are available on NOTION Music’s website, www.notionmusic.com.

Blue Sky Introduces SUB 212 & SAT 8
The SAT 8 and SUB 212’s Sealed-Box Design, Combined With Sophisticated Bass Management Electronics, Provides A Seamless Transition Between SAT & SUB. The End Result Is A Stunningly Accurate Full-Range Monitoring System.
World-renowned for their accurate, full-range sound, Blue Sky is pleased to introduce two new critical listening components to its full line of monitoring solutions: SUB 212 400-Watt Push-Pull Active Subwoofer and the SAT 8 300-Watt, Compact Mid-Field Monitor. The SUB 212 is designed to be an integral part of the monitoring system, enabling a studio monitor, such as the SAT 8, to be positioned for the best imaging, and the SUB to be positioned for the best bass response. Relieving the studio monitor of the requirement to reproduce the low frequencies means that the uncompromising sealed-box design can combine with sophisticated bass management electronics to provide a seamless transition between the SAT and SUB. When combined, the SAT 8 and SUB 212 provide a stunningly accurate and engaging, full-range monitoring system.
“Our customers were asking for a powerful system that was similar to the Sat 12 and Sub 15, but in a smaller package,” said Blue Sky Vice President Chris Fichera. “The Sat 8 and Sub 212 will address those applications.”
About The SUB 212
Blue Sky’s SUB 212 is a sealed box, dual 12”, push-pull, 400-Watt subwoofer. It features an anechoic frequency response of 25Hz to 200Hz, +/-3dB. In addition, the SUB 212 also has built-in 2.1 bass management electronics with both a 4th order 80Hz Linkwitz-Riley low-pass filter and a 2nd order 80Hz high-pass filter that is perfectly matched to the response of the SAT 8 (the SUB 212 is also compatible with the SAT 12, SAT 6.5 and SAT 5).
The SUB 212’s unique “push-pull” configuration is designed not only to increase output, but also to reduce distortion. A push-pull subwoofer uses two drivers: one mounted facing forward, the second mounted backward with the magnet facing out. Utilizing two drivers doubles the maximum output, while the push pull configuration reduces even harmonic distortion. Typically, in a more conventional design, at high output levels, second harmonic distortion dominates the distortion spectrum of most subwoofer drivers and is caused by asymmetric operation of the suspension and magnetic structure. In simple terms; the output of the driver is slightly different when the cone is moving away from the magnet, as compared to when it is moving toward its magnet.
Push-pull operation reduces this even harmonic distortion in a clever application of physics. As mentioned before, push-pull uses two drivers, one reversed from the other. The bottom driver has its magnet facing out of the box and is driven electrically out–of–phase from the front driver, which keeps both drivers acoustically in phase. However, when the front driver’s cone is moving away from its magnet, the bottom driver’s (reversed) cone is moving towards its magnet. This puts the even harmonic distortion components of the bottom driver out-of-phase with the front driver. When you combined the outputs of both drivers, the even harmonic distortion of both drivers cancels, reducing the overall distortion of the subwoofer.
About The SAT 8
Blue Sky’s SAT 8 is a three way, tri-amplified, 300-Watt, compact mid-field monitor which features an 8” high excursion hemispherical woofer, an ultra low distortion 4” hemispherical midrange driver, and a 1” dual ring radiator tweeter with integral waveguide, for superior off-axis response. To reduce destructive cabinet diffraction reflections, Blue Sky has developed and incorporated into the baffle, the proprietary “Multi-Aperture Acoustic Diffraction Absorber”, which helps to maintain smooth on and off axis frequency response throughout the critical MF and HF frequency range, without the need for a large wave-guide or horn.
The SAT 8 is powered by a dedicated low distortion 100-Watt amplifier for the 8” woofer, a low distortion 100-Watt amplifier for the midrange, and a low distortion 100-Watt amplifier for the tweeter. The SAT 8 effortlessly delivers clean and accurate sound with a frequency response of 80Hz to 30kHz +/-3.0dB (200Hz to 15kHz +/-1.5dB), for full compatibility with Blue Sky’s SUB 15 Universal, SUB 212, SUB 12 and BMC (Bass Management Controller). The rear panel also has controls for “full space” (placement in a room) or “half space” (mounted in a baffle wall) operation, along with individual HF, MF and LF level trims, as well as controls for variable gain settings.
The SAT 8 is designed to operate both vertically or horizontally, thanks to the rotatable MF/HF plate.
VSL NAMM SHOW FEATURING BLUE SKY
FARMINGDALE, NY (February 4, 2009) — Vienna Symphonic Library, an innovative, music software and sample library developer based in Vienna, Austria, premiered its long-awaited Vienna MIR reverb software at the 2009 Winter NAMM Show, in daily demonstrations within an intimate, soundproof Presentation Cube. The “Cube” was originally created by Austrian acoustics designer, Peter Willensdorfer of tonachitektur for VSL’s first public appearance at the 2002 AES Convention. In anticipation of VSL’s new launch in January, VSL decided to completely renovate the Cube—from the aesthetics to the audio—featuring Blue Sky’s state-of-the-art Sky System One 5.1 Surround System.
VSL’s Senior Audio Engineer, and an independent music producer, recording/mixingengineer, Dietmar „Dietz“ Tinhof took control of the redesign. As a Blue Sky user and aficionado, he was confident that the Sky System One surround setup would be the ideal audio provider to showcase the new VSL software in the Cube, and worked in conjunction with Austrian distributor, Wolfgang Sauter from ProPerformance, to arrange the acquisition of the system.
“For the release of Vienna MIR, a development we have been working on for five years, VSL decided to refurbish the Cube from the ground up,” Dietz recounted. “Apart from the visual changes, the main goal was to include a full-blown surround monitoring system to allow for the most convincing listening experience of the new approach Vienna MIR brings to virtual orchestration. I’ve been a big fan of Blue Sky monitors since I first heard them and use a 5.1 MediaDesk—a small, but incredibly honest and powerful monitoring system—in my workspace at home. My kids have their own EXO systems, and I’ve successfully suggested ProDesk and Sky System One-setups to producers I worked with, or customers of the VSL. The sound and feature-set of the Sky System One were the ideal choice for the setup we had in mind for the Cube. The fact that it’s a sealed monitoring system [as opposed to ported loudspeakers] made it much easier to fit it into a very peculiar listening environment like the Cube, which has quite a few acoustic idiosyncrasies, due to its form and size.”
They arranged for two identical systems—one sent to Los Angeles in the Cube’s container by ship, months before the NAMM-show started; the other was installed in the studio of the VSL’s resident composer, Christian Kardeis. “We knew we could work on our demo material until the moment we left for the airport,“ Dietz explained, “knowing that our mixes would translate perfectly inside the Cube.“
With the small size constraints of the Cube—a 13.1-foot square space—there were inherent challenges of the room acoustics. “There is no proper way to implement a ‘textbook’ ITU-surround circle if you actually want to use all the space of a quadratic room,” he recalled, “not just the remaining in-circle. We got off lightly, though, by implementing delays in the millisecond-range for the center speaker, and larger ones for the surround speakers. The transmission of the bass frequencies was obviously the biggest problem, and we overcame this problem partly by equipping the system with two subwoofers instead of just one for better spatial dispersion of the bass. The woofers were positioned slightly off-center on the front side of the cube, aimed at opposite directions, which gave us the most convincing overall frequency response. But I have to admit that even after intensive measurements, tuning and moving the woofers around, the laws of physics showed the limits of a small room in this regard, there was a quite perceptible exaggeration of frequencies below 60 Hz in certain spots of the room – something our listeners seemed to enjoy as additional ‘wow-factor’”.
From the Cube’s visual and conceptional design, to the sound and the transient response, the demo proved an immeasurable success for VSL—from company personnel and show attendees alike. “We had four days of flawless, great-sounding performances during the Winter-NAMM show. Many people who attended our presentations commented about the great acoustical setting within the VSL’s Cube; some of the more involved people were especially surprised by the satellite-concept of our System One, and got excited by the view op the dedicated remote-controller. Quite a few visitors in the Cube were convinced that we had the speakers on display! I would choose the same system again in a second, for this or any application.”
