Alto Professional's all-new active Black Series collectively comprises three two-way loudspeaker models - namely, the Black 10, Black 12, and Black 15 (which, as implied by name, feature 10-, 12-, and 15-inch low-frequency drivers, respectively, alongside a 1.75-inch high-frequency driver, and are optimised with a 90° x 60° coverage field and an extensively tested high-frequency waveguide) - and two subwoofers - namely, the appropriately-named Black 15 Sub and Black 18 Sub (with 15-, and 18-inch low-frequency, long-excursion drivers, respectively).
All are designed and tuned to exacting standards in the USA with premium, purpose
Commenting on the introduction of the new pricing, international business development, sales and marketing director, Paul Brewis, said: "We are achieving major productivity gains at our Ningbo facility, for both Studiomaster and Carlsbro lines. Improved production capacity coming on-stream is delivering significant economies of scale and as a result of which we are offering lower dealer pricing and higher margins, allowing retailers to offer more attractive pricing to their customers.
"These production price reductions are as much as 20% in some cases and at the same time we are offering increased dea
The two product additions join the original, larger Nexus 4x4 panel (four rows of four LED cells), which soared to industry pre-eminence after receiving the Parnelli Award for Indispensable Technology in the Lighting Category at the 2013 LDI Show and, immediately following, appearing on the national TV broadcast of the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game to illuminate Selena Gomez's halftime performance.
Like the award-winning original, the Nexus 2x2 and Nexus 4x1 are high-output RGB washes with great colour quality, that offer the added function of pixel mapping, allowing

NWare version 1.7 introduces Kiosk2Go, the latest addition to NWare's impressive control capabilities. Kiosk2Go allows designers and integrators to extend the custom kiosk control interfaces they create in NWare to any mobile device via the platform's web browser component and HTML5. This provides the end user custom control interfaces that they can then control from their own mobile devices, providing them ultimate mobility and freedom.
Any control interface that a designer creates in NWare can be accessed wirelessly with any Android, iOS (Apple), Blackberry, Windows or Linux mobile device. MediaMatrix NWare allows custom control interfaces to be constructed f
Battery life is 8-12 hours between charges, and the units are compact, at only 11 inches high (approx. 28cm. Three (Volt Q3) and five (Volt Q5) 100,000-hour, 15W, quad-color LEDs provide full color mixing capability. Field angle range is 7-13° and snap-on diffusion filters allow the user to soften and spread the light when needed. A rainbow effect and auto-programmed chase effects provide added dynamic capability while a variety of other effects are possible via 0-100% dimming, a variable strobe and more.

ISE 2014 will see the first major European debut of Lab.gruppen's Lucia amplifier, which offers consultants and installers a decentralised solution without compromise, presented here alongside the complementary loudspeaker products from Tannoy.
Designed for low cost, low hassle commercial installations such as boardrooms, classrooms and retail outlets, the two-channel Lucia (Localized Utility Compact Intelligent Amplification) is a compact and versatile Energy Star compliant Class D platform.
The Lucia M model variants include ADLC (Automatic Dynamic Loudness Contouring
Stocked with all the features for pro mixing, the affordable FX2 series includes essentials like Silencer mic preamps, which allow very high gain with low noise and distortion for crystal-clear signal reproduction. The four pre-fader auxes per channel provide four monitor mixes, while the two post-fader auxes are designed for adding effects (built-in or outboard).
These mixers also include dual DSP engines that allow multiple simultaneous effects assignable to any channel via aux 5/6. Onboard effects include reverb, reverb enhanced, delay, compression, expander, de-esser, chorus, flanger, tube emul
The RR12 combines a linear, non-compressed crystal-clear response from the lowest to the highest SPL's with a very wide dynamic power output ratio. The distortion is in average only 1/10th of that of traditional compression-based systems, says the company.
The system features the Alcons-proprietary RBN602rsr 6" pro-ribbon driver and a custom-designed 12" woofer with 4" voice coil, dual-spider suspension with forced-venting; while both transducers have Neodymium motor
Designed for indoor use in installations, broadcast environments, corporate productions, car shows and more, this light weight yet sturdy panel is ideal when outstanding high-definition image quality is required, says the company.
Black face LEDs ensure high contrast while a high density of 10,816 pixels (104 x 104) per panel ensures a clear and sharp picture. Colours display vivid, consistent and uniform, and a brightness level of 1,200 Nits means the EZ4 performs well even in high ambient lighting conditions.
A high-precision die-cast aluminium frame produces a flat and seamless video display and professional-grade features like modular rigging and design options allow users to easil
Using Dugan's proprietary voice-activated process, the Waves Dugan Automatic Mixing Controller plugin automatically controls the gains of multiple live microphones in real time while preventing feedback and excessive noise pickup. Maintaining the gain of one mic in the room even when multiple speakers are talking simultaneously, it makes "perfectly matched transparent cross-fades".
Dugan notes, "People have been asking for a Dugan plugin for a lon

Designed specifically for the commercial installation market, the CIS series comprises an expanding range of loudspeakers, multi-channel power amplifiers and the MTX matrix processors.
Previously available for use primarily with Yamaha's DME Series digital mixing engines, the Dugan-MY16 optimises the gain distribution of multiple faders simultaneously, allowing sound engineers to focus on their mix rather than being preoccupied with microphone levels. The MY4-AEC Echo Canceller eliminates unwanted acoustic echo caused by secondary signals of speaker outp
On display will be two low wattage yet high-output moving head luminaires, the Platinum Wash 16R Pro and the Rayzor Beam 2R, both powered by Platinum lamp technology. In Elation's line of innovative LED lighting, the multi-functional Protron LED Strobe, as well as a pair of dynamic white LED luminaires, the DW Fresnel and DW Profile, will also be on display.
Platinum Wash 16R Pro: Featuring the new 1,500-hour Platinum MSD 16R lamp from Philips (330W, 16,000 lumens), this versatile moving head functions as both a beam and wash luminaire. It is loaded with features such as CMY color mixing plus fixed colors, 6.5-48° motorized zoom, beam shaper, shutter/dimmer and has an EWDMX receiver built in. Compact yet powerful, output is comparable to 1,000 watt unit
"With the Leo system, we have shown how a system that stays linear across all frequencies and at very high sound levels can provide a whole new listening experience for everything from the New York Philharmonic to Bassnectar," says John Meyer, Meyer Sound's CEO and co-founder. "By combining this high level of linearity with a more flexible package, Lyon will open up many more opportunities for listeners to experience the performance adv

The third generation controller, which can be built up into a zoned installation by adding slave units over copper and/or fibre optic connections, is well established in the PA/VA market and features on recent high-profile projects such as the Signal Iduna Park football stadium in Dortmund and Zurich railway station.
PA/VA installations for sports stadia and transport termini continue to grow in scale so all areas can be covered to ensure passengers and staff receive messages and information relevant to them. Switch mode has been added to the IDA8 family to make this possible and to increase the IDA8 system flexibility whilst providing more cost effective installations.
