But what is DDS? Back in 2000 Dr Evert Start from Duran Audio published a paper on Digital Directivity Synthesis at the IOA's Reproduced Sound Conference in the UK. DDS is a technology that uses FIR filters to allow sound designers to control both the near field and far field dispersion of a loudspeaker array using a powerful algorithm from Duran Audio called Digital Directivity Synthesis. DDS was immediately implemented in AXYS Target Line Arrays and Intellivox arrays. DDS allowed users to electronically aim the sound where they want it - at the listener and to excite the audience and not the room. 13 years on Duran Audio continue

SmartSequencing technology allows large and complex professional A/V systems to be safely powered on and off at the touch of a button or turn of a key, even by non-technical personnel. If you'd rather lock-out this level of control then a series of security covers will lock out the button and sequencing functions and you can simply take the keys with you.

Multiple units can be daisy-chained on runs of over 300m with bi-directional communication between units for sequencing on and off large-scale, complex systems. As is standard with most Furman products, CN-3600 SE incorporates Furman's trademarked power cond

DigiHoist, known as one of the most flexible and safe chain hoist control systems currently on the market, has just increased its adaptability with this Positioning and Ethernet option.

It allows DigiHoist controllers to offer accurate chain hoist positioning via encoders which are installed in the chain hoists under the unit's control.

Encoder options include Quadrature Incremental and SSI Absolute. For historical compatibility, the system can also read Pulse encoders.

Data from the encoders is fed directly into the DigiHoist controller which can then have upper and lower software limits programmed to prevent over travel of the hoist. Additionally, the DigiHoist will stop all movement if the system detects a lack of hoist
