The company will be located in hall 8 on stand J18, and the show will be used to showcase the existing Ethos VA and CA live sound products, along with products from the ML and LMranges.
New at the show will be the Nd115 bass enclosure. Designed principally as a bass option for use with the Ethos CA enclosures, the cabinet can be used as the basis of a pole mounted system or flown above a CA array. The cabinet features the same 1000w, long excursion, neodymium cone driver as its larger brother the Nd215. The product is designed to offer an option to the customer whorequires less bass response, or a smaller physical footprint in an application such as theatre or Audio/Visual.
Also new to Frankfurt will be the production ready version of Ethos LA, which was previewed at PLASA 2008. The cabinet is a long throw module designed to be flown above the existing Ethos VAsystem to increase its projection range to the 100m region.
The enclosure features four neodymium 8" mid/bass units and four waveguide mounted 1" exit compression drivers. The cabinet has 90 degree horizontal coverage and up to 5 degree vertical coverage, selected in 1 degree increments. Ethos LA can be used as a system in its own right, with Ethos VA as a downfill module, or existing VA users can add it to their portfolio to increase the functionality of original investment.
