"There seems to be an AES habit of starting round the edges because you already know who's in the middle and you'll get to them eventually, but there's a lot of cool stuff from small companies in the end booths that kind of sneaks in from the outside. So, even as in some ways a peripheral participant, we've been very much part of it
"We weren't going to approach it until we could do it with 115dB of dynamic range," said director of European technical support, Luke Jenks. "It's not just a management system; it's also a line driver. So if you put it across your system, it has to perform at low output levels without noise, and at high output levels without clipping. That's where you really need the dynamic range. We have a huge stake in what happens after the DSP stage, so we only embarked on this once we were satisfied that t
"Because A-Net was originally conceived for live stage monitor applications, the protocol was designed to transmit in only one direction: from the A-Net input module or distributor hub out to the performers' mixers," said Carl Bader, president and CEO of Aviom.
"A-Net Pro is fully bi-directional and has dramatically increased capacity, while preserving the central performance specs of A-Net: uncompressed, low-latency in a plug-and-play system. The new version of the protocol carries up to 64 audio channels on a single wire pair in a Cat 5 cable, still at 24 bits. In specialized networks, A-Net Pro can carry 256 channels without sacrificing performance."
The 15° trapezoidal cabinet allows for extreme downward angles at the bottom of an array for front row coverage, as well as wide vertical coverage arrays such as multiple-balcony venues.
It's a 3-way cabinet with two Adamson 8.5" Kevlar, neodymium drivers - one ND8-L mid-bass driver and one ND8-M mid-range driver - and a 1.5" compression driver mounted on the wave shaping chamber. This produces a slig
