Since its launch, the original SmarTmast has been enormously successful, and has been used for a myriad of events from the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations to the Henley Arts Festival, the Kenwood House summer season and many more. The SmarTmast2, constructed from robust 30cm square aluminium trussing, has
Another of DHA's products, the Digital Light Curtain (DLC), has been used in Australia regularly, most recently on productions of Mamma Mia and Oliver. The DLC will soon make another appearance in Australia, as part of the new Melbourne production of the hit musical We Will Rock You.

The QT-256 was jointly developed by Quantum5X Systems Inc in Canada and by CP Communications in the US. This sophisticated transmitter technology has been under development for two years and is a patent-pending Wireless RF technology that enhances the quality and enjoyment of broadcast sports, entertainment events, reality TV productions and motion pictures. Live demonstrations and successful field testing of this new technology were televised in the US by E
ChromaBank is a linear light source containing 12 ChromaHearts packaged together. They feature a total of 960 LEDs, with a built in ChromaZone to power and control the unit. The fixture offers numerous internal effects and chases that can operate in stand-alone mode or with an external DMX/PMX controller. The fixtures use very little power and generate minimal heat.
ChromaBanks are ideal for TV, Theatre and Stage applications providing considerable illumination and flexibility. The colour wash effect is flawless on sets and cycs, and particularly effective when installed beneath glass floors or walls. The units are also impressive when hung from trusses and can produce numerous strobing and
TX Series mixers from Australian Monitor include the TX-6000M (6-channel mono mixer, with remote master and VCA); TX-8000M (8-channel version) and TX-8201M (8-channel stereo mixe
Although often lighter than conventional flight cases, Spectralite cases are designed to withstand harsh touring environments, but if damage does occur, they are easily repaired. One of their main advantages is the innovative ribbing system, allowing the case to be reconfigured easily by repositioning simple inserts, giving the customer total flexibility. Other advantages of the case are that it is water resistant and because the materials used are recyclable, it is environmentally friendly.
The case is also available to OEMs and case manufacturers around the wo
Positioned as an alternative to Par can or fresnel lighting systems, ColorCommand eliminates the need to manually change lenses or lamps to control beam size or to add gels to change colour. The colour media used in ColorCommand is dichroic borosilicate glass, which won't fade or change colour as a result of use. The ColorCommand dichroic colour mixing system uses a patented design, which incorporates two lenses and three colour wheels. The first lens splits the light into 25 separate beams, whi
The command line interface allows for scripted batch processing, which simplifies key tasks such as automating the collection of frame sequences from render farms and generating low-resolution proxy files for distribution. SequencePublisher reads and writes all standard industry formats.

Circuit breaker overload protection and conditioned and protected power outlet are located on the front panel. Rear panel IEC power inlet and ten outlet connectors are sequentially powered up and off in four stages. The PD11LVSIEC-CE has a total electrical capacity of 2.3kW and 10 amps, from a 230V, 50Hz, sin
"The Penta Beam is a unique effect, because it incorporates five separate lasers into one compact unit," says Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Group of companies. "Plus, it's an intelligent laser, so you can do a lot of creative things with it. With its DMX programmability, five separate lasers and wide beam spread, it's a really great effect for clubs that want the excitement of a multi-pattern laser light show, yet also want the ease and economy of a single affordable fixture

The new range, which will include versatile digital toolboxes, housed in compact aluminium cases, will comprise an AES channel divider, AES/SPDIF converter, AES three-way splitter, SPDIF four-way splitter, word clock/super clock generator, word clock/super clock converter and four-way word clock distributor. Technical manager for the LA Audio brand, Steve Buchanan, told PLASA Media: "Currently these types of products are only to be found in expensive 19" packages, often unnecessarily taking up valuable rack space. The DigiBox range delivers compact, high quality designs at affordable prices, making them accessible t
Each plasma screen is held securely in an innovative moulded rubber insert. The combination of a durable rubber surface and a softer shock-absorbing foam kernel protects the delicate plasma screens during transportation, especially in the event of an unpredictable or extreme impact. Provision within the flightcase can be made for associated accessories such as stands, wall brackets and even speakers where practicable, making it a convenient way of moving these often awkward pieces of equipment around.
Amptown can be found on stand L52 at PLASA.

Introduced earlier this year, Turbosound's highly successful TXD series is aimed at the club, DJ and live performance markets, and has already proved to be one of the company's fastest-selling product lines. Being launched at PLASA is the ultra-compact TXD-081, a passive 8" two-way loudspeaker designed for club, bar and restaurants installs, plus the TXD-252 - a 2 x 15" + 2" trapezoidal combo, which looks set to become a firm favourite with pub bands and DJs. Both the new models share the same features that have made the TXD systems su
The G400 features four identical gate channels that can be operated as four separate processors or linked as two independent stereo pairs. Each channel has fully variable controls for filter frequency, threshold and release. The range is switchable to provide either full muting (-80dBu) or a more subtle level of signal attenuation (-20dBu). Two attack modes are available - fast or slow, and release is manually adjustable. In-built side chain 'auto-level-sensing' and hold circuitry ensure that false triggering and chatter are kept to a minimum.
The GC400 combin
Power distribution represents a major investment that no one wants to think too much about after they purchase it. Quantum Energy Devices' aim is to design and manufacture power distribution products which are well-engineered and well-constructed enough to work reliably and safely day after day in the often adverse environment of the entertainment industry, with a minimum of service. All QED products are fully ETL listed (not just using ETL approved components) and each product is
All channels include XLR input, 48V phantom power, switchable input impedance, 25 - 250Hz hi pass filter, phase reverse, as well as line input selection. Channels one and two also feature a -20dB attenuator and high impedance Instrument/DI input, on a jack on the front panel. LEDs provide indication of signal present and overload. A digital output option is available in addition to the standard balanced analogue outputs, making the ASP008 an ideal front end to any DAW or Pro Tools system.

The DS-115 is a versatile two-way system designed to be used as a full-range stand-alone unit. Low frequency reproduction is handled by a 400Wrms 15" loudspeaker with 3" voice coil. High frequencies are reproduced by the new M-5N neodymium compression driver. This 1" exit driver incorporates a 2" titanium diaphragm and EFW (edge-wound-flat-wire) voice coil. The unique enclosure design has three ergonomic handles for easy carrying, will accept a standard 35mm mounting stand and includes a floor monitor position for added flexibility. Nine M8
In traditional wooden sprung floors, there has always been an inconsistency of flex over the floor area due to the necessity to use bearers in construction. This problem has now been eliminated by combining an engineered wooden surface with Harlequin Activity Floor, a unique fully floating construction of semi flexible panels supported on a
