The top-of-the-line CM-150 also comes with an AC adaptor and RS-232 interface. The latter feature allows current SPL readings to be monitored, plus logging of SPL events over a period of time, with the information stored on a computer for future reference. The meters are ideal for councils, sound engineers, bands, DJs, club owners, theatres, schools and houses of worship, say the company.

Its dedicated mono subwoofer output with adjustable crossover frequency is a feature rarely found in this segment, say Behringer. Additional sweepable high and low cut filters for each channel remove unwanted frequencies such as floor rumble and tape hiss, while an accurate 12-digit LED output metering and input gain control provide for easy level setting. Ultra low-noise audio operational amplifiers are used throughout, offering outstanding sound performance. A relay-controlled hard-bypass with an auto-bypass function saves the day in the event of a power failu
The Wireless DMX-512 is designed for architectural, installation and smaller event applications. It has a range of up to 200m (650ft), can be set up via a PC and PC-based controllers such as the Martin LightJockey and can be configured as either a transmitter or receiver.
The Wireless DMX-512 Pro Diversity is a 19" rack-mount version aimed at stage
The company's new AT-1 intelligent controller has been specially developed to work with the company's existing Sentry Mk2 noise control unit and provide a complete, integrated solution. Used on its own, the Sentry Mk2 creates an effective method of shutting down an audio system by isolating the mains supply when the volume exceeds a preset threshold. The AT-1 links between an audio system's mixer and amplifier, and monitors SPL readings from the Sentry Mk2. As the volume approac
Use of specialized carbon-fibre composites together with calculated bracing and inner reinforcement structures, results in higher stiffness and yet a 30% lighter enclosure than a conventional wooden cabinet, say Sound Projects, adding that no less than 12 handles can be integrated within the housing, improving the handling of the system.
Sound Projects has developed the patented HF Wave-shape-transformer - a device which pro
The STA-121 operates silently, say the company, due to its fanless cooling design. In addition to a power of 2 x 110W rms at 4 Ohms, the amplifier presents two level controls and four switchable line inputs which also recommend this amplifier for studio applications! Two unbalanced 6.3mm outputs, a speaker terminal L/R, LEDs for overload and protect and of course protective circuits against short circuit and overheating complete the concept.

The concept behind Pixi-Led is the ability to create a fusion of lighting and video allowing designers to achieve an almost limitless combination of effects. The fixtures use new "point-source" RGB colour mixing which creates both an exceptionally bright white light output and, with their consistent colour mixing ability, provides an enhanced colour palette with a superior range of pastel colours and tints.

The BBE Max-X3 professional stereo 2-way crossover, which also functions as a mono 3-way crossover, is designed for road use, and like the Max-X2, also features the Sonic Maximizer circuit. Utilizing 24dB per octave state-
"The design philosophy behind the Xone:92 was to make it as flexible and feature packed as possible. Many DJs prefer rotary faders to the standard linear configuration so it made sense to launch two versions of the mixer," comments Xone designer, Andy Rigby-Jones.
Launched in December with the help of DJs Richie Hawtin, C1, IQ and Sander Kleinenberg, the Xone:92 is Allen & Heath's fastest-selling Xone model. Allen & Heath says the rotary version will be available from February.

These innovative photo luminescent materials enable the production of UV special effects artwork including trompe-l'oeil and 3D. Dual Images can be created like day to night scenes created using a combination of conventional and invisible/UV revealing paints. Under normal light the viewer sees the day scene, the nighttime equivalent appearing when the image is exposed to UV blacklight. Applications range from the obvious to the not so obvious some including special effects, scenic effects and promotion and advertising.
The paint is a quick drying, matt finish
The VR12 features a 6" pro-ribbon driver with 'Real-90' horizontal dispersion for MF/HF and a 12" mid/bass driver for LF. The frequency response is 60Hz up to 20kHz (+/-3dB), with a peak power output of 134dB. Maximum flexibility was the main design goal, according to Alcons; the asymmetrical enclosure and the 90° resolvable wave-guide make the VR12 suitable for a compact FOH system, an in-fill cabinet or a (high-power) floor monitor. In installations, this also offers flexible (ceiling/wall) mounting. The cabinet is equip
For example, the Pacific Followspot is efficient in the smallest school drama room or rehearsal space using the regular 600W tungsten halogen lamp (1000 lux at 18.5m) as it is in a medium-sized theatre, using the 80V Power System (1000 lux at 23m). It can also deliver the output necessary for a church or auditorium using the MSR hot restrike 575W lamp (1000 lux at 39m) with its flicker-free operation. Other lamp choices are the 800W tungsten halogen (1000 lux at 20m) and the 1000W tungsten hal
The newly designed cart holds up to 10 rolls of Harlequin Studio flooring each 1.5m long and carts have already supplied to The Oslo National College of Arts and to Tanztendenz, a choreographic centre in Munich. Elsewhere, three larger Storage Carts, each suitable for storing 2m long Harlequin Cascade rolls, have been delivered to the Centre National de la Danse in Pantin, Paris.

The amplifiers are greater than 80% efficient (compared to typical 'AB Class' amplifiers of 60%), drawing less current and, therefore, reducing unwanted heat. One of the additional benefits of the new Class D amplifiers is that smaller batteries are required for standby power. The Switch Mode Power Supply offers greater e

The Micra Powered has a built-in (250W continuous power) digital amplifier and is fitted with two sophisticated 5" woofers and twin neodymium magnetic circuit, say Outline. A 1" compression driver handles the top end. The power available allows two additional passive (slave) units to be safely connected to the powered enclosure. Micra Powered has a universal input with adjustable sensitivity, and is able to handle various types of signals and levels, including mic or line signals. It is fitted with a limiter able to operate efficiently without causing distortion in the e
The demos work exactly like the full version software for 30 days from installation, but rather than having to wait for and install from a CD, you can download the application of your choice from the website in just a few minutes. According to Stardraw marketing director Rob Robinson explains: "This is a logical step that offers clear advantages, the age of software distribution by physical media is coming to an end. For applications like ours that see almost daily updates, CDs are effectively obsolete as soon as they roll off the production line. With Internet distribution, our customers can get the software they want immediately, rather than having to wait for a CD to turn up in th
The MH4 has become widely adopted because of its ability to handle even the most demanding live sound mixing, and for its capacity to operate as a fully-featured FOH or monitor desk, or as a combination of both. This new aux function makes the multi-mode desk even more flexible than previously thought possible. The updated module now ships as standard in MH4s, and existing consoles may be upgraded through the purchase of new modules.
