The new metering is capable of displaying signal levels from mono through to 5.1 channels on each input, with a configurable lower area which can be used to display bus assignments, surround images or the History mode, where a scrolling audio waveform displays signal anomalies and highlights them for up to 50 seconds to allow the engineer to identify where the event occurred. Metering for 'layer 2' signals can also be viewed, while the Control Bay screen can be used to provide configurable user pages with up to 40m. When the TFT meter bridge is fitted, the external GC screen becomes an integral part of the chassis.

It gives audio companies flexibility in how they deploy Yamaha consoles, enabling them to swiftly react to changes in a production and how they prioritise their resources. Yamaha Console File Converter means that the mix data created on the original console can be simply and quickly transferred to the alternative mixer, saving time and effort.

To achieve an intriguing storefront and attract guests with a concept from Corneille Uedingslohmann Architects, Traxon's ultra bright and fully customizable Dot XL-6 RGB was installed on the flagship location's exterior.
Arranged behind a special glass diffusion material, each individually addressable Dot is given a blurred effect. Inside the store, a series of Dot XL-3 RGB are arranged above the escalator, behind the same blurring diffusion, establishing a connection between the exterior and the interior.
The installation was executed by Ben Hur and LightLife, both located in Cologne. As a result of the strong teamwork, Ben Hur was rewarded with the Innovation Award for Architecture and Presentation at EuroShop 2011.

The resulting brightness is comparable to a traditional 650W Fresnel, while consuming only 5% of the energy. But the real news is it is now possible to vary colour temperatures from 2700 K to 3500 K without losing brightness.

The new variants incorporate cold and/or warm LEDs instead of RGB for a better white light quality and greater output. Ideal for highlighting skin tones, textiles, or set pieces, the MAC 101 white light variants are already finding use in touring applications as a front light, main light, blinder or beam effect.
The MAC 101 CT allows for easy changes in colour temperature from crisp cold looks to warm shades, and features simple intensity control. Each MAC 101 CT is colour temperature calibrated to ensure a high quality of white light and visual consistency across fixtures, a uniformity in light output that allows for seamless overlapping of beams on large stage and set areas.
