UK - Ayrton has announced the official launch of its new IP65-rated Argo 6 Wash and Argo 6 FX fixtures.
For the first time, Ayrton is launching a weather-sealed effects luminaire that offers as much creative potential indoors as outdoors. Argo 6 presents a minimalist design incorporating features for total protection against harsh weather with easier internal access.
A new composite alloy, reduction in thickness of the parts, an optimised cooling system, simplified lens guidance, and integration of low-density optical components, mean Ayrton has been able to reduce overall weight by 20%. Meanwhile, the placement of pan & tilt motors in the base and head of the luminaire avoids the constraint of weatherproofing the yoke arms. A new submersible ventilation system in a non-waterproof compartment allows for optimal cooling.
Available as Wash or FX versions, Argo

Europe - Nexo’s P+ series proved an instant hit following the launch of the P12 back in 2019. Widely installed in theatres, halls, sports stadia and hospitality settings, and highly valued as essential inventory for countless rental and event production companies around the world, the P+ Series has expanded with the launch at PLASA 2023 of the new the P18 and L20 sub.
Joining a range that already includes P8, P10, P12 and P15 models, the new P18 employs a long-excursion, Neodymium 18-inch LF / 4-inch diaphragm HF coaxial driver in a curvilinear enclosure of custom birch and poplar plywood.
The cabinet footprint is relatively compact, measuring 680mm x 579mm x 446mm. Frequency response is 50Hz-20kHz, and the SPL is an impressive 140dB peak
Like other speakers in the P+ Series, versatility of the P18 is enhanced by an ingenious system for varying HF coverage patt

The MON G3 Series includes four models in the sizes 8", 10", 12" and 15".
In the development of the new MON G3 Series, LD Systems was guided by the features and functions of high-priced stage monitors that are used at large ev

UK - PLASA Show 2023 will see the world premiere of Claypaky’s Midi-B FX which stems from the innovative idea of adding some fancy lighting effects to a moving head washlight to get a fixture that can do both RGBW wash lighting and be used as part of the set design.
To do this, Claypaky has placed a long top hat on the body of a Claypaky Midi-B, and fit five parallel rings of LEDs around it, each of which can be controlled separately for a wide range of colours. This patent-pending technology allows dynamic, attractive plays on colour, which are perfect for TV studio set designs and very useful for corporate and tour lighting.
As a washlight, the Midi-B FX has the same features as the Midi-B - with which it is fully compatible - including the optimised HD optical system, which provides a highly efficient, bright output. Its 4° to 50° zoom means it can be used in
