Riedel OnAir
Riedel Communications today announced the launch of its new OnAir headset platform, a new family of professional intercom headsets for broadcast, live entertainment, sports, and other live production applications. The platform includes the OnAir 200, 400, and 500 Series, covering applications from lightweight single-ear communication to dual-ear headsets for high-noise environments.
Riedel developed the OnAir platform with a focus on speech intelligibility, ergonomics, integration, and serviceability. Speakers and microphones are optimized for intercom audio, while the 500 Series also provides passive isolation for use in demanding environments. The 400 and 500 Series also feature integrated Push-to-Talk (PTT) controls, allowing users to respond directly from the headset rather than operating a key on the connected intercom device.
“With OnAir, we wanted to rethink our headset portfolio around the practical requirements we see in live production every day,” said Kristina Uhlitz, Product Manager at Riedel Communications. “A headset is something operators may wear and interact with for hours, so audio quality and comfort were just as important to us as intuitive control and flexibility. Features such as integrated PTT, the reversible design, and exchangeable cables on the 400 and 500 Series allow the headset to adapt to different users, devices, and workflows.”
The OnAir 200 Series is designed for lightweight, single-ear communication. It is available in two versions: an analog model with a fixed XLR4F connection and a digital model with a fixed USB-C connection. Both versions feature mic mute, reversible designs, and easily replaceable parts. The OnAir 400 Series is available in single- and dual-ear versions and adds integrated controls, and flexible connectivity. An integrated PTT button on the mic boom allows users to respond directly from the headset. The 400 Series also features a reversible design, a pressure-reducing headband cutout, and an exchangeable Mini XLR7 connection at the ear cup, allowing cables to be changed for use with different devices.
The OnAir 500 Series is designed for demanding high-noise environments such as motorsports. Its dual-ear design combines high passive isolation with expanded controls directly on the headset. In addition to the reply key on the mic boom, two PTT buttons on the ear cup provide additional access to intercom communication. A dedicated radio mode enables the buttons to operate with radios. Like the 400 Series, the 500 Series features a reversible design and an exchangeable Mini XLR7 connection.
Riedel has also designed the OnAir platform with serviceability in mind. On the 400 and 500 Series, components including the ear and head cushions, dust protection, mic boom module, and cable can be replaced individually, while the 200 Series features replaceable ear and side cushions. Beyond serviceability, OnAir has been conceived as a platform with room to evolve as production needs continue to change.
OnAir will be on display at IBC2026 in Amsterdam, Sept. 11-14, at Stand 10.A24.

Mackie Thrashv2
Today, Mackie announces Thrashv2, the speaker that condenses all the company’s experience and knowledge into the essential Mackie powered loudspeaker. Thrashv2 makes volume, sound quality and technology accessible for anyone who needs to be heard. Make no mistake: If you’re tired of getting drowned out, you need a loudspeaker. At the core of Thrashv2 is our clean 1300W Class-D amp for in-your face volume. Thrash12v2 and Thrash15v2 feature a punchy 12” and 15” woofer, respectively, plus a custom 1” compression driver for sparkling high end. Need to cut through at rehearsal? Need to set up a DIY space that packs a punch? Need to amplify your amp sim guitar pedal in your home studio, without losing every detail of your tone? Yes, you need a loudspeaker. Thrashv2 is that loudspeaker.
Mackie Thrashv2 strips the form factor of a powered loudspeaker down to its essentials. That means extremely rugged build quality and no-fuss I/O. Thrashv2 speakers have everything you want and nothing you don’t. Use the single combo input for mic and line sources. Stream wirelessly from your phone via Bluetooth to up to two speakers at once. The thru output lets you chain the signal (including the Bluetooth) to other speakers. Whether you’re using Thrashv2 as a PA system, stage monitor or full-range, flat-response amp, this versatile speaker gets the job done and holds up to heavy use.
Thrashv2 is simple, but it’s also genius. It has the innovative technology that defines a Mackie loudspeaker. Switch between four voicing modes (Flat, DJ, Live and Wedge) to tailor the speaker to your application Flip on the gig-saving Feedback Eliminator to magically eliminate microphone feedback. These are straightforward, push-button features that make it easy for anyone to get loud, clear sound, no matter their experience level.
Mackie Thrashv2 works vertically or horizontally, or mounted via the built-in pole mount and tightening screw. The mount lets you place Thrashv2 on the T100 tripod, or use the SPM400 speaker pole to mount Thrashv2 above a Mackie subwoofer. For keeping the speaker protected while traveling between gigs and rehearsals, Mackie branded Thrashv2 speaker bags are available. (T100, SPM400 and speaker bags sold separately.)
Since 1989, Mackie has defined the sound of DIY spaces, pop-up shows, jam sessions and beloved local music venues, all over the world. Thrashv2 carries that legacy forward by making the legendary power and performance of a Mackie loudspeaker more accessible than ever.
Mackie Thrash12v2 and Thrash15v2 are available now.
