Shure To Acquire Ab Wavemark Oy

Audio manufacturer aims to bolster software solutions for theater, broadcast, and content creators

 

Audio giant Shure has announced that it will be acquiring Ab Wavemark Oy, bringing into the fold Wavemark’s theater, film, TV, broadcast, and content streaming products.

“The acquisition of Ab Wavemark Oy will further underscore Shure’s commitment to providing our professional audio customers with innovative solutions that enhance workflow,” says Nick Wood, Senior Director, Wireless Category, at Shure. “We are excited to expand our portfolio with cutting-edge and customer-centric solutions that enable creative productions across theater, broadcast, and content creation.”

Shure looks to strengthen their investment in software with the acquisition, in order to give audio technicians greater access to more innovative tools. The newly expanded software offering will be positioned alongside applications in Shure’s portfolio like Wireless Workbench (WWB) 7. Together, WAVETOOL and WWB provide audio engineers with a comprehensive set of tools to manage RF and monitor all audio sources throughout a production, from pre-show planning to monitoring and listening during the show for flawless audio performance.

 

WAVETOOL’s Revolutionary Audio Monitoring Capabilities

WAVETOOL is an audio and listening application that provides critical, comprehensive monitoring for audio professionals. WAVETOOL’s early detection of potential audio problems, streamlined communication capabilities with the sound team, and its centralization of monitoring functionalities, helps professionals monitor high-stakes productions with confidence.

  • Centralized Monitoring. Compatible with the most popular RF receivers from multiple manufacturers, users can effortlessly monitor up to 128 channels from one screen.
  • Made for High-Stakes Productions. The custom-built algorithm automatically highlights faulty sound sources, so technicians can identify and rectify issues immediately. Audio professionals rely on WAVETOOL for the most demanding productions, including West End and Broadway plays, along with top-tier live sound, reality TV, and sporting events.
  • Optimal Convenience. The WAVETOOL mobile app enables audio engineers to move freely around the stage while streaming audio directly to their iOS devices. The chat functionality encourages front of house and stage technicians to quickly and effectively communicate transmitter issues with one another so they can be addressed in real time.
  • Compatible with several Shure systems, including Axient Digital, ULX-D, SLX-D, Axient Analog, and UHF-R.

Innovation with WTAUTOMIXER V2

For podcasters, content creators, and broadcast audio engineers, the WTAUTOMIXER V2 plug-in offers seamless sound-mixing capabilities and automatically balances volume across multiple microphones while intuitively turning down non-active microphones for crystal-clear audio. It’s the ideal choice for talk shows, discussion panels, and houses of worship, as it ensures excellent audio recording and streaming experiences, no matter the number of speakers.

This upcoming acquisition aligns with Shure’s continued focus on delivering cutting-edge audio software solutions that meet the diverse needs of the professional audio market.
