This will be Nureva’s first participation in a large-scale conference and trade show since ISE 2020, and there is a lot to catch you up on. Nureva is shaking up the audio space by making it dramatically easier and less expensive for customers to get the audio performance they need in larger meeting and learning spaces. “ISE continues to be a significant event for Nureva, and we are
delighted to be back in 2022 to give attendees a first look at the many additions and developments to our expanding audio-conferencing product line,” said Nancy Knowlton, Nureva’s CEO. “Hybrid working and learning has never been more important, and our audio solutions avoid the significant costs and complexities that other systems inevitably come with when outfitting larger spaces. Nureva offers simple, reliable audio solutions that are easy to scale and support across a business or education institution.” Nureva XT is an integrated end-to-end solution that combines Nureva audio with a camera and premium services for hybrid classrooms. Nureva’s booth in the Unified Communications and Education Technology Zone will show how the company’s game-changing audio conferencing systems make it easy and affordable to get consistent, full-room audio coverage in mid-size and large meeting and learning spaces. Nureva systems deliver the audio performance that customers demand without the cost and complexity associated with installation, setup and maintenance of traditional multicomponent DSP solutions. Powered by patented Microphone Mist technology, Nureva systems are the only audio conferencing products that fill a space with thousands of virtual microphones to provide full-room pickup. This allows students or meeting participants to be heard throughout the room regardless of their location, the direction they face or the presence of unwanted sounds such as HVAC fans. The company will showcase numerous recent developments including the additions of Voice Amplification Mode for training rooms and classrooms, the launch of Nureva XT, the company’s newest offering for learning environments, and analytics and insights in Nureva Console that give IT staff information about device usage and acoustic performance. Visitors to Nureva’s stand can also learn about the Nureva Developer Toolkit, which includes a growing collection of cloud-based APIs and support documentation for Nureva audio systems, and the newest product integrations and certifications with Microsoft Teams, Logitech and Barco ClickShare.

Powersoft Booth 7M700 Italian audio specialists Powersoft is offering the very best in DMD solutions, whilst simultaneously immersing visitors in an unforgettable haptic experience at ISE 202. Powersoft’s Dynamic Music Distribution will take centre stage at the company’s main stand, , where experts are on hand to guide visitors through the functionalities that DMD has to offer system integrators. Dynamic Music Distribution offers SIs the ability to scale inputs and zones conveniently and efficiently with dynamic routing capabilities embedded on its amplifier platforms. This makes it simple to dynamically route music and other signal sources along with control signals between different zones and across multiple amplifiers – all independently of source location and without the need for a centralised DSP. With a single four-channel Mezzo amplifier now able to drive up to four independent zones of audio, thanks to Powersoft’s new ArmoníaPlus 2.2 software release, the DMD ecosystem was the natural choice to bring to life the most tailored or bespoke experience making it ideal for bars, hotels, fitness centres and other hospitality venues where sound is part of the overall customer experience. At Powersoft’s second stand is opposite the company’s the main stand – and a haptic experience like no other will be showcased. Mover is a patented low-frequency direct-drive/tactile transducer designed to create the ultimate 4D experience. At the stand, visitors have the opportunity to become engulfed in the vibrations from 20 Movers situated under the floor panels and within walls, with an LED wall that displays content interacting with the transducer. Adaptable to various purposes, including 4D cinemas, theme parks, or venues with vibrating acoustic floors - as well as applications that go beyond entertainment - Mover lets audiences feel the sound through haptic perception by vibrating the surrounding environment, which the human body picks up and, through bone conduction, stimulates the inner ear, translating the vibrations into perceivable frequencies.

We’re taking safety measures very seriously, and we see others doing that too.”
