Jünger Audio has unveiled V*AP, a brand new two channel voice processor that is specifically designed for engineers working in radio stations and TV production voice-over studios. V*AP draws on Jünger Audio’s previous voice processing devices such as its v-series and adds new tools and algorithms. The company explained that the aim of V*AP is to offer perfect control of microphone recordings, but said it also included processing such as HP/LP filtering, dynamic section, full parametric EQ and de-essing. All of the V*AP functions can be performed with the click of a mouse, making it accessible to journalists or reporters. The product also includes a dedicated voice leveler combined with a voice over circuit to help integrate voice programs into loudness-based broadcasting on the fly. The company describes the optional SDI I/O card automated voice over for embedded audio as an attractive feature of the V*AP. Available as either an insert into a mixing desk or as a stand-alone unit, V*AP allows integration in existing environments via an AES insert. The unit can also use used with an optional analogue board that adds two high quality mic-preamps. Another key feature of V*AP is the inclusion of Spectral Signature, Jünger Audio’s automatic spectral sound management algorithm that dynamically boosts and attenuates frequency bands to preserve natural balance while achieving station sound without wide band crushing tools. Using Spectral Signature, users can automatically analyse the ideal recording of their voice (direct or over telephone lines) and create pre-defined sound fingerprints that become the reference the algorithm matches to on all subsequent live recordings.10.D20
