Vercelli says the EX10 was developed at KV2's Milevsko R&D facility in the Czech Republic, and embodies the company's philosophy of increased dynamic range, very high output and consistent sound character - no matter what the output level. The EX10 employs a new LF transducer with KV2's TransCoil technology and neodymium motor structure that is said to dramatically increase force, lower distortion and provide increased frequency linearity. A new
"T2 systems are in use across the UK and abroad - including two major London venues. With work underway on an exciting new installation in the South West and a number of other UK-based projects, it is only natural
It uses two forward facing 8" cone transducers and two further 8" cone drivers. These are acoustically coupled and do not require DSP. The HF section uses a compression driver with a 3" diaphragm, as a line source can only be achieved by using one high frequency driver. Connected to this is a patent-pending Double Parabola developed by Guido Noselli (DPRWG). This radical new HF configuration works as a ribbon driver but with a very high efficiency (110 dB 1w/1m). The C.D.H. 483 Hi-Pack weighs in at just 35kg, including its integral flying system. Outline c
The D12 Amplifier is a two-channel power amplifier specifically designed for use with d&b loudspeakers; digital signal processing is incorporated, as are both analogue and digital signal inputs. Digital elements are specified and constructed to achieve audio performance meeting, or exceeding, that of analogue devices. Loudspeaker specific controller functions for the d&brange are implemented within the DSP, and both channels have independent user definable four band parametric equalizers and signal
The combination of the DMXCreator software and the three DMX512-interfaces results in one of the most powerful PC lighting controller on the market, say VXCO. Running on Wiondows, the DMXCreator software is packed with features usually reserved for large and expensive lighting consoles. Features include 3D Visual Emulator, Effects Generator, Track-effects Editor, 16 multi sequences, MIDI control, Position-Memory, scene crossfade control, DMX512 input recording, physical master. Each DMX controllable device has its own custom
Each individual loudspeaker in the line-array has its own Class-D amplifier and can be driven independently under the control of a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), resulting
The LD24 is a new version of the company's popular LD90 family of dimmers: its new design is aimed at cost-conscious facilities that need basic DMX control combined with a high quality digital dimmer. Strand's new SLD Sinewave dimmer will also be presented for the first time and on stand will be a working demonstration unit with a range of loads that will allow users to see the features of the new dimmer first-hand. These include true sinewave output for quiet lamps and accurate control; SST dimmer modules which can dim a wide range of loads including incandescent, inductive and capacitive devices from a fraction of a watt to
This budget-priced desk features 12-channel 2-preset mode, 24 channel wide mode and 48 memories, including 20 chases. Easy to programme and edit cues, the desk is aimed primarily at the small theatre and educational markets, but its compact size and aesthetic design should make it an attractive choice for any small DMX-controlled installation.

When connected to a PC, the XP10 provides direct control over file playback and has the ability to 'scratch' the digital audio stream via its 4.5" touch-sensitive vinyl emulation wheel. Just like vinyl and the very latest CD players, tracks can be stopped with the fingers and the wheel can be used for cueing.
The XP10's device controller is near-pocket sized and weights under 400g, but boasts features found in larger, heavier DJ equipment. Audio quality is 'hi-fi' in texture, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 105 dB or more, say EKS.

Martin Magnum 550 is a portable yet powerful smoke machine providing the DJ with a light-enhancing atmosphere. It houses a 600W ECO-Mass Vaporizing System for economical and even distribution of haze. It has a fast heat-up time and extended operation and comes supplied with remote control and a high quality overheat protection.
The Magnum 2000 delivers high smoke output, advanced microproc
One of the most revolutionary concepts Smoke Factory presented a decade ago at the PLASA Show in London was Scotty - the first truly battery-operated fog machine. Since then, Scotty has been sold all over the world and has been used in all kinds of environments, from theme parks to photographic shoots and from special events through to school theatres.
Now, the new Scotty II - to be shown for the first time at PLASA 2003 - will have a major new feature over 'old' Scotty which had one small disadvantage - the relatively

Audient is displaying one of the first production units of its brand new eight-channel mic pre-amp, the ASP008. This compact, 1U rack-mount unit features eight mic preamplifiers, developed from the mic-pre design used in the company's ASP8024 recording console and the Aztec Live Performance console. All channels include XLR input
Designed with simplicity in mind, the DiGiTRACS is built into a rugged 4U 19" rackmount casing with internal cooling, and connects to the FOH D5 Live using two BNC MADI cables. The unit is rackmounted on rails, with a lockable front panel, and slides out for easy access.
400Gb of media storage is provided by a high reliability RAID multiple hard disk array for maximum data security. It also features an 80Gb removable 'caddy' drive for archiving, back-up and post-production data exchange. The front panel provides USBII
The UPJ-1P is the first Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeaker system to incorporate VariO technology - a unique system that allows the 80x50 HF horn to be rotated through 90° without compromising the loudspeaker's awesome performance. This allows the UPJ to be a true workhorse - equally suited to main FOH duty, as a front fill, under balconies or even as a monitor wedge.
The UPJ-1P represents a major milestone for Meyer Sound's UK customers; based on the concepts that have made the UPA-1P the most successful self-powered loudspeaker ever, the new addition to the family opens up a world of audio possibilities for rental companies in every market.
Power Gems conducted a series of tests at Philips in Belgium, which demonstrated that lamps which had operated for 1,000 hours on high frequency sine wave displayed considerably reduced de-vitrification, and appeared almost new. Power Gems see this development as revolutionizing the way we consider discharge luminaires in the future, not only for the moving light industry but for theatre, venue and film applications also, where the ballast now
To help bridge the video and traditional lighting worlds, Catalyst DL1 incorporates the communications standards of both: VGA, RGBHV and S Video inputs for incorporating movie, film or graphics content, and DMX programming - a lighting communications standard that allows the DL1 to be remotely pointed or focused from any DMX-based control u

Also new from Robe is the ColorSpot 250 AT which improves on the company's successful ColorSpot 250 XT, with a streamlined new design that follows the style of the ColorSpot 1200 AT. Updated features include a new rotating gobo wheel with seven replaceable 'slot and lock' dichroic glass
Using proven array principles from its larger siblings, and an evolution of the Hybrid loading technique, a low/mid output with a sensitivity greater than 100dB is easily achieved, rising to 106dB for the HF. By using innovative mid-horn geometry and a toroidal wave guide, a constant directivity, horizontal pattern control of over 120° (700Hz-18kHz) is maint
