TSL Professional Products Ltd (PPL) has acquired surround sound microphone and audio processing technology manufacturer SoundField. The addition of the SoundField range expands PPL’s support of 5.1 audio in broadcast workflows. Chris Exelby, managing director of TSL, explained that this was the first big announcement for his company since the re-organisation of TSL into two separate entities, TSL (Television Systems Ltd) Systems Integrator and TSL Professional Products Ltd (PPL). Pieter Schillebeeckx, head of research and development for SoundField said: “I don’t think we could have put the future of SoundField’s legacy in better hands. SoundField has been around a long time but we’ve been lacking resources for sales, marketing, design and manufacture. “We’ll now be able to put our ideas in front of a global audience, taking us out of the UK and Europe into other markets,” Schillebeeckx predicted. “And longer term we also hope to bring more products to the market quicker.” – Monica Heck10.B41
