Neumann is celebrating what would have been AC/DC frontman Bon Scott’s 80th birthday with a powerhouse tribute: the U 47 fet Bon Scott Edition.

This isn't just a random artist partnership. The U 47 fet was actually Bon Scott's go-to studio vocal mic on early landmark AC/DC albums like "Let There Be Rock." Producers Harry Vanda and George Young chose it specifically because its incredible headroom and rich mid-range allowed Scott's legendary, raspy vocals to cut clean through Malcolm and Angus's wall of roaring guitars. 🤘

Neumann is releasing a strictly limited run of only 300 individually numbered units worldwide, featuring:
🖤 A stunning matte black finish
✍️ Bon’s signature engraved on the body
📦 A custom black wooden presentation box
📖 A booklet with a previously unreleased interview with producer Harry Vanda

Best of all, a portion of the proceeds will go directly to Support Act Australia to help artists and music industry professionals in need. 🇦🇺

Neumann's new Bon Scott U 47 fet limited-edition microphone does dirty deeds—but not dirt cheap.

💡 "Software cannot create air volume where it doesn't exist."

In micro-audio design, there is a tempting myth that you can always use DSP to fix hardware limitations. But when you are designing at or below 5cc, physics isn't a suggestion — it's a hard limit.

In his new guest editorial for The Audio Voice, David Jeon (Senior Director of Engineering at HARMAN Embedded Audio) breaks down why professional-grade micro-audio requires a hardware-first approach.

Whether it's for wearables, laptops, or smart toys, David shares how the HEA team tackles the ultimate trade-offs of sub-5cc design:
👉 Wearables: Maximizing output and minimizing distortion millimeters from the ear.
👉 Computing: Utilizing force cancellation to stop structural vibrations from damaging internal parts.
👉 Smart Tech: Using custom damping to isolate acoustics from sensitive RF antennas.

True innovation in micro-audio happens in materials science and mechanical architecture, not a software crutch. Read his full breakdown: https://ow.ly/wK1850Zuunu

With streaming choices fragmented across dozens of platforms, audiences haven’t lost their appetite for video — they’ve lost their patience with the endless hunt for content. 📺

For operators, this choice fatigue is a strategic threat. To maintain relevance, platforms must move beyond the traditional "app grid" and embrace true super aggregation — unifying live TV, VOD, and FAST channels into a single, seamless discovery layer.

This article from Luis Brenes of Setplex breaks down how operators can leverage intent-based AI search and unified curation to own the starting point of the viewing journey.

The future of streaming won’t be won by offering more choices. It will be won by helping viewers find the right content faster.

Smart TV platforms like Google TV, Roku, Samsung Tizen, and LG webOS are becoming the new front door to the living room. They influence what users see first, which apps are promoted, and where the viewer goes next. If operators do not control discovery, someone else will. This is where super aggrega...

Global Enterprise Agility Month has us thinking about a shift we watch closely: the move from fixed AV infrastructure to open, IP-based workflows.

We've sat in enough client meetings to know agility isn't a buzzword in Pro AV. It's the difference between a manufacturer who can talk credibly about ST 2110, NMOS and AES67 adoption, and one still explaining why they haven't made the jump.

The same goes for strategic communications. A press strategy built for one news cycle breaks the second the market shifts. Ours doesn't, because we build client narratives around where the industry is heading, not just where it's been.

What's your team doing to stay ahead of the standards curve this year?
