Copenhagen Den Anden Side focus on quality with NST

The famous “Daddy’s Dancehall” in Copenhagen has a history of new wave and punk gigs that reads like a “who’s who” of the 70s and 80s…Blondie, Sex Pistols, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop…and then in the 90s, closed.  This shuttered gig mecca has now been given a second life, reopening this month as “Den Anden Side”…

NST Spotlight: Edgar Lien

We often hear about those audio engineers and technicians who have spent their life on the road and been involved in touring and live audio since they were in a band aged 11 years old.  Eating, breathing and sleeping rock’n’roll.  So far, so Stones/Metallica/insert aging rock band as appropriate. What you don’t hear so much…

NST Spotlight: Tino Reschke

FIR Filters Explained

Introduction FIR filters have become increasingly popular in pro-audio in recent years. This has partly been driven by the availability of more powerful DSPs which are able to process multiple FIR filters in real-time. However, whilst FIR filters are a powerful tool they are also frequently misunderstood. This article will try (without going into the…

5 years ago today Jake walked through the doors at NST Audio, picked up a soldering iron and built his first ID48. There have been lots of changes since then - new products, new premises and new people - but Jake’s amazing attitude and work ethic have endured. Thank you Jake, from all of us.

Can any other remote go from “still in box” to “configured & working” in 90 seconds?* Watch as in real-time and a single edit we unbox, plug in and configure a VR2 and have it turning things up and down in less time than it takes to boil a kettle!
