USA - Audix (booth 14102) is set to release the D6X, the next generation of one of the most popular microphones in its 40-year history. The D6X extends the capabilities of the classic D6, which has become a contemporary standard for reproducing kick drum, floor toms, bass guitar cabinets, and other low-frequency sources.

The D6X introduces a recessed, no-tools-required switch that selects between three frequency response profiles:

Deep (bottom position): Identical to the D6 and the most familiar starting point for a forward sound that cuts through the mix.

Balanced (centre position): Provides more midrange and upper midrange, lending itself well to a somewhat more traditional kick drum sound while retaining the impact for which the original D6 is known.

Natural (top position): Selects a more linear response, with even more midrange an

Spain - Klvr will launch the Charger Pro at ISE 2025 (stand 5F100), creating a simple way to eliminate extensive use of single-use batteries from live events and AV. The Klvr Charger Pro enables sound engineers and AV technicians across music venues, conference halls, universities, houses of worship, and corporate facilities to move beyond disposable batteries or inflexible proprietary charging solutions, reducing environmental waste and saving costs.

Over one million disposable batteries are used every year by entertainment venues, theatres and production companies in Norway alone (Kulturrum Report), representing a significant environmental and cost issue. Sonic City, a medium-sized Norwegian music touring and event production company, estimates it uses 20,000 batteries a year. 

Disposable AA/AAA batteries are still widely used because of

Spain: Chauvet Professional has built its booth (6M100) for ISE 2025 around the theme of Finally True Colours Revealed.

UK - After a year of development, UK-based company Automated Film Props is offering new automation solutions designed to be utilised with film, television and stage props.

“We do this by delivering enterprise-class prop automation software and components that turn narrative events into actions from your props. We use industrial design to build PCBs, modules and subassemblies that you can use in your props during the build process, and the 'grip-equipment' to drive BTS kit like lighting and movement,” the company says. “Your props can display real values and respond to stimuli in a believable fashion.”

Extensive (and costly) production time is taken up between takes and rehearsals in order to reset props for the next one. By creating the infrastructure that allows props to be instantly set/reset, this can help ensure a more efficient, less str
