Additionally, JPS purchased 48 new Crown MA3600 amplifiers and added an extra 32 Clair Bros Audio 12AM monitor wedges to its already extensive CBA speaker inventory. The new monitor racks debuted in September on a national concert tour by the Australian electro-rock band, Rogue Traders. Monitor engineer Ben Shapiro commented: "This is the best monitor system I have ever heard. They sound absolutely fantastic. After I ran the 12AMs with the new Clair Dolby Lake Processor presets, I left my outboard equalizers back at the shop!"
The Dolby Lake Processor provides a unique set of features for monitoring applications, including reference quality audio converters, the Iso-FloatT ground isolation system, and patented low-latency sample rate conversion. With the Dolby Lake Controller software, a monitor engineer can make instant changes to a specific wedge mix or to the whole monitoring system, remotely from any location on the stage. Coupled with the SmaartLiveT Controller, the Dolby Lake Controller integrates RTA and Spectrograph displays within the EQ user interface to provide immediate identification of feedback and spectrum analysis.
The Dolby Lake Processor recently picked up a PLASA Award for Innovation at the PLASA Show in London.
