JBL Professional utilises numerous sets of Link's new CVS LKSPKAL 12/3 U2A2 cable in 23 metre (75 ft) lengths for its portable touring sound systems that are used for onsite customer evaluations, including Vertec DP Series and the new Venue Performance Series powered, network-compatible products. "The growing number of JBL systems in the field was Link's inspiration to develop this new hybrid cable," says Marco Piromalli, president of Link.
When added to Link's current SPKAL1 and SPKAL2 lines, the hybrid cable offers self-powered speaker system users several different options for specifying single-cable solutions for power, audio signal and control, he adds.
"The increasing number of loudspeaker products for the rental sound industry with onboard electronics, including both powered speakers and network-compatible systems, points to a clear need for integrated cable solutions," says David Scheirman, VP Tour Sound for JBL. "Link's new hybrid cable make portable system cable-and-connector integration a practical, reliable and 'off-the-shelf' process for touring system technicians and sound-company business owners," he says.
