The main focus of the stand will be the LR24 mid-sized pro-ribbon line array system: Alcons' response to the market demand for linear sound systems, but with a true 1:1, undistorted and non-compressed sound reproduction.
With the Launch Partner Programme started, the system marks an important advance for the company within the concert touring and large-scale installation market.
Another focus point is the previewing of two micro-sized additions to the S-series and B-series, making Alcons' famous pro-ribbon sound experience available for smaller portable and installed applications.
Taking stage in their final production guise are the Sentinel amplified loudspeaker controllers: With 4-in/4-out, 192kHz AES/EBU inputs, Linux-based processor control, 10kW audiophile-grade amp stages, full colour touchscreen control, this amplified processor platform raises the bar in speaker drive engines.
Also, the QR24 pro-ribbon line-source column will be on show: This modular, two-way column-array loudspeaker is to be used as in acoustically-challenging rooms, delivering a full-range high SPL HiFi sound quality, with unparalleled speech intelligibility, without the necessity of DSP-based beam steering.
Also showing, the recently introduced award-winning subwoofer BC332 compact cardioid sub, which features 18" + 15" woofers in cardioid arrangement.
Every year at Prolight+Sound, Alcons exhibits a new 'design study' providing a glimpse of its R&D activities by displaying assembled prototype developments. This year is no exception, says the company.
Alcons is exhibiting on stand G60, Hall 8.0.
