Austin, Texas, start-up company Audio Fusion Systems is set to release new software designed to allow musicians to hear and customize their own monitor mix on personal mobile devices.
Audiofusion takes digital audio from the sound console or audio interface and broadcasts it in real-time over Wi-Fi. This allows any musician to roam the stage freely and wirelessly with complete control of their mix at a fraction of the cost of comparable hardware based systems. Audiofusion is designed to make personal, wireless, in-ear monitoring accessible to musicians at every level. A 100% software based system that turns your smartphone into a wireless IEM bodypack.
"The musician is no longer at the mercy of what the house provides and the house can still provide full support.”
“Audiofusion has totally freed me on stage,” says worship leader and musician M. Schonfeld. “I can completely control my monitor mix by just reaching into my back pocket and I didn’t have to buy any equipment. Audiofusion is going to change the way I do music. ‘More me in the monitor’ will be a thing of the past.”
The company’s press release states, “Audiofusion uses patent-pending audio and networking technology to capture each instrument signal from the digital audio source with professional fidelity. Audiofusion then packages up the audio and delivers it in real-time, over Wi-Fi, to the Audiofusion app on each musician’s smart phone. Unlike traditional hardware based systems, Audiofusion gives simultaneous control to both the musician and the sound engineer. The musician is no longer at the mercy of what the house provides and the house can still provide full support.”
The new system will be demonstrated Sunday, January 28th at Winter NAMM in Anaheim, Calif., in booth #10600.
