MultiDyne Builds Toward Next Crescendo in Audio Monitoring
- 01 September, 2025
New for IBC, MultiDyne launches the first entry to the Crescendo Series
of audio monitors for broadcast and live production environments...
USA/NED: MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems will begin rolling out a new generation of audio
and video monitoring tools at IBC2025 that are engineered to support embedded 12G-SDI and IP audio
monitoring. MultiDyne’s first entry to the new Crescendo Series, the C16-AM-12G, is MultiDyne’s first
in-house designed audio monitor, carrying over the proven feature sets of its acquired CENSUS audio
monitor line while adding support for 12G and IP workflows. Now shipping, MultiDyne will demonstrate
the C16-AM-12G at Stand 11.C12.
The C16-AM-12G’s modernized design represents optimizes broadcast-quality audio monitoring for studios, trucks, and other demanding production environments. Its compact 1RU design integrates a dense feature set, prioritizing pristine sound quality for confidence monitoring in broadcast and live production. Its exceptional sound processing is powered through 16-channel audio monitoring for unmatched clarity and precision, enriched through powerful low-end performance that makes the unit viable in noisier machine rooms, trucks and flypacks.
Users can monitor individual channels on-the-fly, drive output to external speakers, and downmix left/right channels via its intuitive control functionality. For enhanced confidence monitoring all 16 channels can be simultaneously viewed with clear visibility of individual bar graphs. That concise visual consumption provides immediate insight into whether audio levels have been exceeding the desired output thresholds.
The base unit comes standard with 12G-SDI support, with optional add-ons for Dante or ST 2110-30 to support audio-over-IP workflows. “The Crescendo Series represents MultiDyne’s audio monitoring platform of the future, with new hardware, a networking architecture and design characteristics,” said Jesse Foster, Director of Products and Strategic Accounts, MultiDyne. “Featuring both the latest SDI standard and IP audio options, the entire series
will supersede the original CENSUS Series as new models come to market well into 2026.”
The 1RU C16-AM-12G accommodates a wide array of input sources including SDI loop-outs, analog differential inputs, and network ports via RJ45 or SFP. For output, users benefit from L+R and low-frequency internal speakers, XLR, headphone, and Bluetooth connectivity can be added via a 3.5mm
jack and USB port. Dual front displays deliver real-time audio parameters, while HDMI output provides
SDI video previewing. All Crescendo Series monitors will include redundant power supplies and
expanded Ross Dashboard integration.
IBC2025 takes place September 12-15 at the Amsterdam RAI.
