Shure has reached an agreement to acquire Ab Wavemark Oy, a leader in software products for theatre, film, TV, broadcast and content streaming applications. The acquisition will add Wavemark’s products to Shure’s professional audio portfolio, positioned alongside applications like Wireless Workbench (WWB) 7.
Wavetool is an audio and listening application that provides comprehensive monitoring for audio professionals. The software’s early detection of potential audio problems, streamlined communication capabilities with the sound team and its centralisation of monitoring functionalities, aims to help professionals monitor high-stakes productions with confidence. 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 podcasters, content creators and broadcast audio engineers, the Wtautomixer V2 plug-in offers sound-mixing capabilities and automatically balances volume across multiple microphones while intuitively turning down non-active microphones for clearer audio. It’s used on talk shows, discussion panels and in houses of worship, as it is said to ensure excellent audio recording and streaming experiences, no matter the number of speakers.
“The acquisition of Ab Wavemark Oy will further underscore Shure’s commitment to providing our professional audio customers with innovative solutions that enhance workflow,” said 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 theatre, broadcast and content creation.”
