Then we got to know the team at Teravision and knew we were going to make this happen. Everyone at Good Shepherd has made the handoff process of this project enjoyable, as there is a lot of behind the scenes business in order to make something like this possible.” Brungardt continues, “And we are thrilled to help create another experience for the community that they can truly immerse themselves in.

RØDE has today announced a groundbreaking new wireless microphone system for filmmakers and content creators, the Wireless PRO. Fresh off the back of releasing the Wireless ME, the perfect grab-and-go mic for creators, RØDE has now unleashed the most powerful compact wireless system ever with the Wireless PRO. Boasting an unprecedented feature set not found in any microphone – let alone a compact wireless system – the Wireless PRO delivers next-level audio quality and unmatched versatility for today’s demanding creators and filmmakers. Taking the legacy of the legendary Wireless GO series to new heights, this is the ultimate wireless microphone.
KEY FEATURES OF THE WIRELESS PRO:
Compact dual-channel wireless microphone system
RØDE’s state-of-the-art Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption for crystal-clear, incredibly stable audio up to 260m (850 ft) line of sight
Universal compatibility with cameras, smartphones and computers
32-bit float on-board recording with 32GB internal memory for clip-free audio in any recording application
Advanced timecode capability for quick-and-easy audio sync in post-production
Intelligent GainAssist technology, flexible output gain control and safety channel for ensuring pristine audio when recording direct to camera
Locking 3.5mm lavalier connectors for complete security
Headphone output with on-board level control
TRRS input on receiver for headset or other “narrator” microphone to record up to three audio channels simultaneously
Plug-in power detect for extended battery life
Complete accessory kit, including smart charge case, two Lavalier II microphones, cables, MagClip GO magnetic mounting clip and accessory case
Easy configuration on a computer or smartphone via RØDE Central
Designed and made in RØDE’s precision facilities in Sydney, Australia
“In 2019, the Wireless GO was the first truly wireless microphone to enter the market,” says RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “RØDE was the first company to create a compact and easy to use workflow that forever changed the way creators capture audio for their content. The Wireless GO II took this even further, adding incredible new features and setting a new standard for compact wireless audio. Today, we take this iconic microphone a step further once again with the Wireless PRO. We’ve left no stone unturned when it comes to features in this new system, packing incredibly powerful and useful features like 32-bit float on-board recording and advanced timecode capability into the same compact, easy-to-use form factor that thousands of creators around the world use every day.”
ULTRA-COMPACT PROFESSIONAL WIRELESS
Despite its powerful capabilities, the Wireless PRO features the same pocket-sized form factor as the rest of RØDE’s compact wireless range, with a sleek new black-on-black aesthetic for extra discretion. It comes in a dual-channel set with two transmitters and a receiver and utilises RØDE’s state-of-the-art Series IV 2.4GHz digital transmission and proprietary near-zero latency codec with 128-bit encryption to deliver crystal-clear, incredibly stable audio at distances up to 260m (850 ft) line of sight. Integrated clips and broadcast-quality in-built omnidirectional microphones on the transmitters make getting set up a breeze, and it is universally compatible with cameras, smartphones and tablets, computers, and other audio devices via its analog 3.5mm TRS and digital USB-C outputs.
PERFECT AUDIO IN ANY SCENARIO
The Wireless PRO offers an array of powerful features for ensuring creators can capture flawless audio every single time. 32-bit float on-board recording capabilities allow users to record directly to the transmitters with no chance of the audio clipping. This groundbreaking feature ensures users will always have a clean backup of their session – even in extremely dynamic scenarios – and eliminates the need to set gain levels prior to recording, making the creative workflow more streamlined than ever before. 32GB of internal memory offers over 40 hours of on-board recording, with dedicated buttons on the transmitters that make triggering recordings super easy.
For users that want to record audio directly into their camera, the Wireless PRO provides a plethora of features for capturing pristine audio. This includes RØDE’s innovative GainAssist technology – first introduced with the Wireless ME – which utilises intelligent algorithms to automatically control audio levels on the fly, ensuring the output is smooth and balanced and minimising the risk of clipping. It also features a flexible output control with a huge 30dB gain range available, allowing users to precisely tailor the mic’s output to their camera, as well as pre-configured camera presets for quick-and-easy setup. For added peace of mind, the Wireless PRO also offers a safety channel feature, which outputs a second channel of audio 10dB lower than the primary channel in case the signal is too hot and clips the camera input.
These features combined make recording pristine audio incredibly easy. No matter their preferred workflow, users can set their Wireless PRO up to deliver perfect audio in almost any environment or scenario, taking the guesswork out of recording and unlocking more creative freedom.
RECORD AND SYNC
To perfectly complement its 32-bit float on-board recording feature, the Wireless PRO offers advanced timecode sync capabilities, making synchronising audio to video in post-production extremely easy. Eschewing the need for complex and expensive external timecode systems, the Wireless PRO features an internal timecode generator that is easy to use and seamlessly synchronises audio with any camera. This can be easily set up on a computer or smartphone via RØDE Central, with flexible configuration options to suit any recording setup.
MORE FEATURES, MORE FLEXIBILITY
In addition to its powerful on-board recording and advanced timecode capabilities, the Wireless PRO offers an abundance of other professional features that make it uniquely flexible. Both transmitters feature locking lavalier connectors for complete security when using an external lavalier or other microphone with a locking connector. Plug-in power detect on the receiver – which automatically powers the unit on and off in sync with a connected camera – extends battery life in the field. The 3.5mm output on the receiver also functions as a headphone output for audio monitoring (complete with flexible output level control) as well as an audio input for a headset or other TRRS microphone, such as a lavalier like the RØDE smartLav+. Merged and split recording modes, marker dropping and customisable buttons are just a few other features that make the Wireless PRO the most powerful wireless microphone system available. The Wireless PRO can also be easily configured on a computer or on the go with a smartphone using the RØDE Central companion app, allowing users to set it up exactly as they need anywhere.
COMPLETE PRO ACCESSORY KIT
The Wireless PRO comes with a complete pro accessory kit, giving users everything they need to get recording right away. This includes a smart charge case, which not only protects the transmitters and receiver when in transit, but also ensures they are always fully charged and facilitates ultra-fast data transfer for quickly exporting on-board recordings to a computer in the studio or in the field. Two Lavalier II microphones deliver broadcast-grade audio capture and the MagClip GO magnetic clips allow for flexible mounting of the transmitters on talent or the receiver on a recording device. It also comes with three high-quality furry windshields for recording in windy conditions, all necessary cables for connecting to cameras, phones and other devices, and a handy case for keeping these accessories safe. The Wireless PRO is designed and made in RØDE’s precision manufacturing facilities in Sydney, Australia, and is built using the highest quality components.
The Wireless PRO sets a lofty new standard for compact wireless audio. No other microphone offers such a wide range of powerful features or guarantees perfect audio in any recording application like the Wireless PRO does, affirming RØDE as the leader in innovative audio solutions for today’s creators.
The Wireless PRO is currently shipping to retailers worldwide and will be available in late August for US $399.
Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Ascendant Studios launched Immortals of Aveum™, a single-player, first-person magic shooter powered by the groundbreaking Unreal Engine 5.1 technology and set in an original fantasy universe. Developed by a new independent AAA studio made up of award-winning industry veterans and published under the EA Originals label, Immortals of Aveum puts players in a visceral and cinematic fantasy universe that combines modern characters and a story-driven campaign with intense magic-based action, world exploration and puzzle-solving. Summon your power, stop the Everwar, and save the realms starting now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via EA App, Steam and Epic Games Store worldwide.
Immortals of Aveum tells the story of Jak (Darren Barnet), who discovers that he is a magically-imbued ‘Unforeseen’ and finds himself reluctantly caught in the middle of the raging Everwar. Recruited under the tutelage of the powerful General Kirkan (Gina Torres) and an elite order of battlemages called the Immortals, Jak must master all three colors of magic – blue, green, and red. With powerful magic-wielders and legions of soldiers on both sides of the Everwar, Jak and the Immortals must uncover the mysteries of Aveum’s troubled past, if there’s any hope for turning the tides of the Everwar and defeating Sandrakk, the powerful warlord of Rasharn and his mysterious lieutenant, simply known as The Hand.
“I founded Ascendant Studios with the goal of creating a first-person magic shooter that makes you feel like a powerful battlemage,” said Bret Robbins, CEO and Game Director at Ascendant Studios. “We built a world-class team, learned Unreal Engine 5, and created an amazing combat system and story from scratch – all through the adversity of Covid. It’s been the best experience of my professional life. With the help of our partners at EA Originals, we’ve been able to make our dreams come true and transform this wild idea into reality. We hope you love it!”
Immortals of Aveum thrusts players into visceral and action-packed gameplay, testing players’ skills in fast, fluid combat that is easy to learn and satisfying to master. Legions of Rasharnian forces stand in players’ way as they learn to unleash over 25 different unique spells, thoughtful combos and well-timed counters. Featuring a deep progression system with over 80 unique Talents, there are countless ways to build characters and even more ways to crush enemies. Players will be rewarded for experimenting with different playstyles and can expect an over-the-top, fast-paced experience where magic is at the core of both offense and defense.
Beyond combat, the world of Aveum offers a unique fantasy universe with rich storytelling, puzzles and unique locations. From the lush forests of Lucium, to the snowy peaks of Kalthus and lava caves of Calderas, explore over a dozen different biomes filled with vibrant enemies, side content, boss fights and more. Experience a thrilling story with larger-than-life characters, featuring voice performances by Gina Torres as General Kirkan (Firefly, Suits), Darren Barnett as Jak (Never Have I Ever, Gran Turismo), Antonio Aakeel (Slow Horses, I Came By) as Devyn, and Lily Cowles (Roswell, New Mexico, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War) as Zendara.
“Ascendant Studios have cast FPS conventions to the wayside with Immortals of Aveum,” said Jeff Gamon, General Manager of EA Partners. “Ever since EA Originals began back in 2016, we have championed studios that are forging new ways to play, who aren’t afraid to disrupt and are on a mission to create high-quality, exciting titles for players. All of us at EA are delighted to watch gamers put aside familiar weapons, pick up a Sigil and wield battle magic in this refreshingly new, challenging and action packed blockbuster from the talented team at Ascendant!”
Immortals of Aveum is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via EA App, Steam and Epic Games Store for $59.99 USD (PC) and $69.99 USD (consoles). Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition for $69.99 USD (PC) and $79.99 USD (consoles) will receive a unique sigil, three rings, two bracers and three totems; all valuable pieces of gear in the fight to save Aveum.* EA Play Pro members will get access to the Deluxe edition on EA App.
Your Hobby. Your Adventure. Your Way. With a host of brand-new features promoting creativity, as well as a slew of exciting new routes and trains, that’s exactly what Train Sim World 4 is hoping to achieve for fans of the popular train simulation franchise when it releases at the end of September. This highly anticipated “train ride” will be released on Windows PC, PlayStation and Xbox consoles on Sept. 26, 2023.
For passionate railfans and casual hobbyists, the Deluxe Edition-exclusive inclusion of Flying Scotsman brings a legendary name to Train Sim World and gives players the opportunity to stretch its legs up the East Coast Main Line to Doncaster, where it was built, along with LNER’s sleek, high-speed Azuma train. The record-breaking steam locomotive celebrates its centenary in 2023 making it the perfect year to step into the virtual cab and drive the icon in-game.
On this side of the Atlantic, the power of American diesel can be harnessed with Metrolink’s F125 out of Los Angeles Union Station, through to Lancaster, California. Virtual passengers will ride in the modern Rotem Commuter Cars in classic pull-push style. Along the way players will recognize locations synonymous with movies such as the LA River, get the chance to see Vista Canyon’s brand-new station (due to open this year) and even get involved in the Hollywood action as part of one of the many in-game scenarios.
Along with all-new locomotives, routes and features, Train Sim World 4 also introduces a new country in the form of Austria. The S-Bahn Vorarlberg Line winds through the Alps to the Austria-Germany border courtesy of national operator ÖBB and its 4024 Talent EMU, with the potential for further Austrian content to be released later down the line.
And for the many German fans of the series, the hi-tech Vectron locomotive arrives on an upgraded version of the previous Dresden – Riesa route.
Executive Producer Matt Peddlesden: “With all new train operators, all new trains and even a new country, combined with significant new ways to play and enjoy your train collection, it’s really exciting to see how much control and creativity Train Sim World 4 is putting into the hands of players. As an avid railfan myself I’m really excited for this release and I can’t wait to see what players do with it!”
The addition of Free Roam and Photo Mode are themselves huge features to arrive in the game. Free Roam will give players the ability to play in a sandbox mode, spawning trains and setting routes, whereas Photo Mode will allow pausing of the live action to set angles and filters up for the perfect railfan shots. Controller haptics, revised scoring and further graphical improvements to lighting and weather also form part of the release and the popular creative tools Livery Designer and Scenario Planner each get an overhaul.
Ambitious PC users will even be able to access the new PC Editor in beta, unlocking the same Unreal Engine tools that Dovetail Games use to create gameplay, routes and trains from scratch.
For the less ambitious and those new to the franchise, a simpler HUD, easier-to-drive locomotives in Training Center and UI changes make driving trains in Train Sim World easier than ever before.
In total, Train Sim World 4: Deluxe Edition will contain 3 new routes in Austria, the UK and USA, plus Training Center, along with Flying Scotsman and Vectron locomotives and an upgraded version of the German Dresden – Riesa route Add-on.
